Video: Thousands Of Dead Birds Fall From Sky In US

The fish - all of the same 'drum' species - littered the banks of a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River near Ozark, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC) said.

State wildlife officials are conducting tests to find out what killed them.

Keith Stephens, of the AGFC, said fish kills occurred every year, but the magnitude of this one was unusual.

"The fish kill only affected one species of fish," he told CNN.

"If it was from a pollutant, it would have affected all of the fish, not just drum fish."

Meanwhile, officials are also investigating the mystery of up to 5,000 dead blackbirds in the town of Beebe, around 125 miles from where the fish were found.

The creatures began falling from the sky late on December 31 and continued into the next day, witnesses said.

"I came out here and saw a bird drop," said resident Stephen Bryant.

"It was horrible, you could not even get down the road without running over hundreds," said fellow resident Melissa Weatherly.

Beebe is a town of about 4,500 people located 30 miles northeast of the state capital, Little Rock.

Residents were not evacuated as a test of air quality found no toxins.

Officials are looking at various possibilities as to why the birds dropped dead - including being startled by fireworks, stress or hit by hail or lightning.

Mr Stephens said: "It could be weather-related or possibly stress-related.

"There were some fireworks shot off at midnight and it is possible that the birds were on their roost and stressed so bad that it could have killed them."

High winds and tornadoes struck Arkansas on New Year's Eve, with the hardest-hit area more than 150 miles to the west of Beebe.

The birds have been collected from rooftops, trees and yards and are being tested at facilities in Little Rock and Madison, Wisconsin.

There was a series on not long ago where everyone on earth experienced a blackout for 30 seconds and in the weeks to come started to get premonitions of the future (might have been flash forward).

 

Any iirc, thousands of birds dropped dead from the sky a week prior to this world wide event taking place.... ;)

 

This thread needs Parky

Yes it was FlashForward and those were my thoughts when I first read the article... not that we're gonna have a blackout and see the future, just the TV series.

It's to do with the magnetic fields being affected by the sun (solar winds). It will reach a height between 2012-13.

 

Protecting digital and electronic comms has been going on for the last few years.

 

THEY know it's coming.

 

Sun watching is deriguer right now and mucho assests are being put in place to measure the unmeasurable.

More mass deaths

 

Shouldnt this be merged into the End of the World thread?

 

No. It's a comma not an end.

 

What do you expect the "human-killer" to eventually be P-Man?

 

There isn't one. Our harmonics are tied into a continium.

:huff:

 

Every beginning has an end.

 

No.

 

Forget your clocks and calenders. Space and time and all realities and partial realities therrof are continuous and never ending.

 

The sun is playing up cause we are going throug 'fluffy' space (highly charged part of space). Think of space as a sea where there are calm and choppy waters.

 

Also our system is a binary system and what effects the twin effects the other.

 

Romulus and Remus.
