As the fireworks popped in the dark Arkansas sky, thousands of dead blackbirds rained upon the celebration. The red-winged blackbirds fell on rooftops, and into fields. One struck a woman walking her dog. Another hit a police cruiser.
Dead birds everywhere.
More than 3,000 birds fell from the sky. Later it was estimated to be 5,000 statewide. Originally, it was thought that the fireworks had confused the birds.
Another possibility was that the birds were confused by the nearby thunder storms.
Then, later, dead birds began dropping out of the sky in Kentucky, and Louisiana.
Conspiracy theorists began to squawk that it was the Apocalypse, but scientists continued to search for a more valid explanation.
Meanwhile, reports of thousands of dead fish in the Arkansas River, and the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, surfaced.
I actually heard one leftist idiot blame mythical man-made global warming.
Wow, those liberal man-made global warming cult believers are a trip! Everything is Climate Change's fault, according those Kool-Aide drinkers!
The most reasonable explanation I have heard about the fish is that they died from the stress of the cold weather. The birds, according to one group of scientists, were probably killed and dislocated by recent storms that may have sucked the birds into the funnels, and then thrown them into a death dive.
One must remember, the area has been struck by a number of severe storms, and tornadoes, recently.
Whatever the cause, the result has been a lot of dead birds and fish.

As for you believers that this is a sign of the Apocalypse, you are watching way too many movies.

Japanese bird sanctuaries, poultry farms and zoos went on high alert last month after several species of migratory birds in different regions were found dead of what appeared to be H5N1 avian influenza. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/04/health/04global.html?_r=1
Pretty creepy. This seems more then just a coincidence. I hope there is a good explanation for all these mysterious deaths!
I like how you use the term "Kool-Aide drinkers" to describe liberals.
Do you know where the term originated? LOL
Yes, Tom, for the leftist Marxist preacher Jim Jones - of course knowing you, you probably think he was a right winger or something. Don't worry, he was about as progressive Marxist as they get - right down your alley.
Tom, the storms you mentioned came months after the Bebe and other birds fell from the sky. Not sure why you make that far-fetched connection. Later, the National Geographic, in an article written by an expert, stated with authority that the blackbirds, being spooked form their roosts by fireworks, flew into "high-rises" because they don't see well at night. Only a couple of problems with that: First, high rises in the countryside or even town of Bebe? Second, enough high-rises to cause thousands of birds to fall within a few minutes of each other? I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I do wonder why the Nat'l geographic would attempt to persuade the public of this unlikely scenario. Couldn't they just say they don't know? Then to try to guilt the readers into thinking somehow it was all our fault, is shameful.
It bothers me that a formerly reputable magazine would throw smoke screens and guilt induced notions out there.Are their experts really experts reporting impartially? Hard to believe. Even paranoid people have enemies, let's not forget. I am posting as anonymous only because I do not subscribe to the other options. ~ Kris Haynes
