Why is skepticism running high? Typical knee-jerk reaction probably.
With those fabulous images, the evidence for diatoms looks pretty solid.
The "red rain" sounds like a SciFi plot. that would cause some doubt - but
not those images.
Too bad ACC is not around to comment.

You may have heard of this already, and it involves the usual suspects
(Wickramasinghe). Skepticism running very high on it as I would have
expected. But hey, that's some photo. If it is a meteorite and is not ground
contamination, then Wow, and don't fall asleep outside with your mouth open!
