AR: Thousands of dead birds and fish mystery

[seamusTX]

Shortly before midnight on New Years Eve, some 5,000 red-winged blackbirds fell dead out of the sky over the town of Beebe (about 10 miles northeast of Little Rock). No credible explanation has been put forward. Some of the feathery little corpses have been sent for laboratory analysis.

And some 80 to 100,000 dead drum fish washed up on the banks of the Arkansas River near the town of Ozark in the western part of the state (east of Ft. Smith). Authorities are shrugging off possible causes.

These actions could only be caused by space aliens. No other explanation is possible.

That's easy. Global warming caused it.

Actually, it sounds like there might have been a problem at ANO.

The power plant is in a location where it could pollute the Arkansas River downstream, but why would only drum be affected?

I don't know and I sincerely hope I'm wrong. It just seemed curious where the two events happened. Being somewhat familiar with the area, I remembered ANO.

We had freezing temperatures overnight on New Years Eve here. Is it possible that a big flock of the birds just flew into a wall of freezing air and it killed some of them, causing them to fall out of the sky?

[seamusTX]

That's what they would like you to believe—or that the birds were scared to death by fireworks.

The goverment is saying:" Everything is ok. Trust me. Drink the coolaid.. trust me.."

What will they say when the third event occurs?

Arkansas was hit by tornadoes on January 1. One man claims to have been picked up and dropped by a tornado without injury.

Any questions?

Plagues. Biblical plagues. That's my theory.

I came through Beebe on New Years Eve about 1030 in the morning. There were 100's of thousands of the blackbirds in the general area that morning. As I moved on west, I ran through a line of heavy thunderstorms that spawned tornadoes farther to the northwest and then north in Arkansas and Missouri. My initial thought was they maybe got caught in the thunderstorm line. They are now saying the birds died from blunt force trauma. So I still think the storms caused them to get hit by hail or severely battered around in thunderstorm updrafts and turbulence and ended up falling out of the sky after being bludgeoned by hail or by each other in the storms.

Blunt force trauma, eh? Like, from hitting the side of a SPACE SHIP????


stinkin' "visitors" ruining stuff...

Flash Forward Dead Crows ... (Was that show canceled? it was great) ... In the last episode I saw ...Mark realizes that another blackout is about to happen in a few minutes.

"The ABC TV show about what happens in the future apparently doesn't have one. FlashForward has been cancelled after one season."

Yet the shows (garbage) that remain on TV .... allow me to go fishing without missing anything ...

You guys and your conspiracy theories. If anything, I say they found one of them moonshine stills over there in the Ozarks, got themselves drunk. Them birds get rowdy when they have had too many and ended up in a big drunken brawl. Then, when they got done fighting, they flew off and ran into the ground.

Drunken bird theory huh? .... My mom planted grapes once, didn't pickem, they fermented, birds were flying sideways.

Might be drunken birds ... Probably the US Dept of agriculture planted some newfangled crop .... else D.O.D. testing some new chemical/biological warfare ...
else ... Terrorists are really bad at aiming where they meant to spray/cropdust.
