Cloud Seed Flare

"The operatives encounter a group of Greys in an open field. Before the operatives get a chance to react, one of the Greys points a slick metallic pistol-shaped object at the sky above. The tool makes a sudden scraping noise and a strange twinkling mote of light soars up into the clouds above the operatives' heads. The operatives hear a deep rumble and then orange rain begins to fall."

Possibilities: (You could even colour-code the rain for different effects.)

a) the rain is a very strong hallucinogen, the investigators are soon flat on the ground having some very bad trips. Suggestions for hallucinations: they see it rain airplane fuselage and human body parts or more surreally, they see it rain disemboweled cats and disemboweled dogs

b) the rain is a strong sleep-inducing drug

c) the rain is human blood, pure and simple, the Greys use it to distract and intimidate; Sanity rolls everyone.

d) the rain is acidic, flammable, toxic, protomatter, etc. (but I like this artifact because it can be disturbing, while non-lethal)

The Mi-Go sometimes equip their little puppet-minions with cloud-seed flares so that they can deal with unexpected encounters of the human kind. The flares themselves are based on some highly advanced and unstable synthesized biochemical catalysts.
