It's unlikely to be the end fo the world, as the chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one.

Probably sand. It's whipped up by the wind and carried by air currents from the Sahara deserts all the way to us.

It happens quite often and people for some utterly obscure reason seem to freak out about it.

Weirdly enough I've noticed that today. Car looked like it had been parked on a building site all day at 8am this morning.

No Cannock. Its like coming in plumes in the air. I just went outside to have a sniff and it doesn't smell, as at first i thought someone was sanding or burning something. Its very odd.

Noticed this too in Bucks. Don't fancy the idea of what it must do to your lungs, but I guess we're designed to cope with it.

Had to clean my windscreen as I left the carpark at lunchtime. My bosses Pickup has been sat all day in is now two-tone black and brown.

WTF?
