1000's of birds fall from sky & 1000's fish die in Arkansas - WTH???

[blaaah]

If that theory applied then wouldn't the birds and fish all over the planet be dead or disturbed?

 

[G.T.Ace]

My theory is, someone blew some kind of gas up in the air, the birds were crossing it and died. The fish thing is kinda strange, could be a distraction to make everything more mysterios. Poles? Magnetic fields? Why only Arkansas then? If the magnetic fields would change, it wouldn't only affect birds in Arkansas.

 

[blaaah]

The one place where you wouldn't get an unusual gas of any concentration is up in the sky.

 

[Omnis]

I had enough pork to feed a small african village over at The Mean Pig in Cabot, AR. Then I went hang gliding in the Ozarks and had some ferocious gas. Damn near knocked me out but I didn't think it could kill that many small animals. Don't tell nobody.

 

[risuku13]

I think somebody's got a new flying saucer. Repent!

 

[Solid Lifters]

I sense big specials for Chicken McNuggets and Filet O' Fish sandwiches at area AR McDonald's. It's best to stay away.

Hundreds of dead birds discovered in E. Texas this morning.
http://www.kltv.com/Global/story.asp?S=13787277

EAST TEXAS (KLTV) - Some east Texans observing hundreds of dead birds on an East Texas bridge are wondering this morning, if their find is related to the discoveries of dead birds in Louisiana and Arkansas.

Around 200 birds were found dead on the Hwy 155 bridge over the Lake O' the Pines, Wednesday morning.

EDIT

There are certainly many hundreds, probably thousands, the collared dove who are dying at this moment in Faenza. Si trovano a mucchietti nelle aiuole, schiacciate dalle macchine nelle strade, appese orrendamente agli alberi come palline di natale. They are in heaps in the flower beds, crushed by machinery in the streets, horribly hung from trees like Christmas balls.

Now here are reports of dead bird and fish from Sweden and Brazil.

But, similar to reports of cancer, autism, early puberty, etc., it's quite possible these phenomena have always existed, and the only really new phenomenon is merely better reporting.

Anyway, getting very strange. Does sound a bit like the movie The Core.

Oh, and 2 million fish in Maryland. God damn fireworks scaring the fish like that.

I am reading reports of Crabs dying en masse in UK.

Now Illinois

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/6185536/dead_birds_reported_by_residents_in.html?cat=8

Dead birds falling from the sky have made headlines in Arkansas, Kentucky and Louisiana, but residents around Marion, Illinois have also found dead birds in recent days. A cluster of households in the same family that
living close together in rural Marion reported finding dead birds in their yards around the same time as the Beebe, AR dead birds.

While these findings have not made national news

 

[Dotini]

This is the best new thread to come along in ages!

At this stage, we have genuine mystery, with possibly ominous overtones.

I mentioned the same thing in post #16. Reminds me of "The Core".
Since 2012 is next year, anything could happen if all those rumors come true about it being the last year.

 

[lbsf1]

In the uk the crabs dying thing seems to be reported as them dying from hypothermia however this seems very unlikely in as you would have though evolution would stop this number dying from what happens every year. My opinion now is could this now be a new super disease that is attacking these creatures first.

 

[Dotini]

Let's count up the possible explanations.

Mine is: It's an rare combination of perfectly natural and normal events, multiplied by better reporting.

Well even 10 years ago reporting would have spread somthing like this worldwide and the news would have got around, and if it hasn't happened in the last 10 years then it is "normal".

 

[Alex.]

I'll admit it's good to have a little bit of a mystery going about, I'm kinda bored of everything having a logical explanation.

 

[pk_090]

Think this could be anything to do with the reccent activity in space? the past eclipse's, the meteior showsas as of late?

i think its mega weid and something has obviously gone wrong somewhere cant wait to find out what it is if we ever do.

 

[GT5_komp]

WOW German Scientists think it could be related to the Earth's Magnetic Effect which is similar to the NOOA video back in page 2, they said the Magnetic pole is moving FAST.

EDIT: Here is video




http://translate.google.com/transla...n/mysterioes-was-steckt-dahinter.html&act=url

Migratory birds and other animals orient themselves in their travels on the Earth's magnetic field. Experten sind deshalb seit Jahren in Sorge, da das Magnetfeld kontinuierlich an Stärke verliert. Experts have therefore been in custody since the magnetic field strength to lose steadily.

Liefen die Tiere deshalb Amok, verloren die Orientierung und prallten dann gegen Häuser, Autos und andere Hindernisse? The animals ran amok so lost, orientation, and then bounced against houses, cars and other obstacles?

Why is the north magnetic pole racing toward Siberia?
http://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/post.cfm?id=why-is-the-north-magnetic-pole-raci-2010-12-24

The north magnetic pole (NMP), also known as the dip pole, is the point on Earth where the planet's magnetic field points straight down into the ground. Scottish explorer James Clark Ross first located the NMP in 1831 on the Boothia Peninsula in what is now northern Canada, and with the planting of a flag claimed it for Great Britain.

But the NMP drifts from year to year as geophysical processes within Earth change. For more than 150 years after Ross's measurement its movement was gradual, generally less than 15 kilometers per year. But then, in the 1990s, it picked up speed in a big way, bolting north–northwest into the Arctic Ocean at more than 55 kilometers per year. If it keeps going it could pass the geographic north pole in a decade or so and carry on toward Siberia. But why?

 

[Dotini]

Okay, the magnetic pole is moving 55km/yr. Why the sudden kills? Is this slight shift enough to suddenly cause havoc in migratory species?

Sudden magnetic polar "excursions", as they are called, have occurred many times before in the geologic past. If I recall correctly, the most recent excursion happened about 12,000 years ago, which coincided with a sudden climate change called The Younger Dryas.

Hi Dotini, I agree with your "Why sudden kills", I do not think we truly understand what is going on right now. I do not expect any experts to spit out the truth is something bad was going to happen as panic would ensue I expect.

We have to take into account the SUN and its 22 year cycle which is due a change, you know there are reports of Earth going thru some dense interstella clouds (I cannot confirm this myself).

Does the Pole moving so fast have a knock on effect to the South magnetic anomoly, maybe that is changing or wobbling.

Unless this is a warning that a VERY serious strain of bird flu is coming we need to keep an eye on all animal mass deaths here in this very thread.

Some reports in forums (so not 1% true until confirmed) state that the scavenging animals are not even trying to eat the dead birds which I would find realy odd.

It is a mystery right now.

I am glad this is happening. Adds some type of substance to my otherwise boring and routine life. (Admit it, we all sort of wished the world would end with zombies or something.)

Could the Earth's magnetic fields be causing the recent die-off of thousands of birds and fish? Scientists believe so.
http://www.suite101.com/content/earths-magnetic-fields-may-be-causing-bird-and-fish-die-off-a328353

Could the Earth's magnetic fields be causing the recent die-off of thousands of birds and fish? Scientists believe so, along with environmental imbalances.

The sudden death of thousands of blackbirds in Arkansas over the 2010-2011 New Year's holiday last weekend was newsworthy enough. Within a couple of days, hundreds of stories from all around the globe recounted similar phenomena. Not only have blackbirds been "falling out of the sky," but many species of birds,as well as reported cases of bat deaths in Arizona. In addition, there are numerous reports being gathered from around the world about massive fish die-off, and die-off of many different sea animals. What could be causing these deaths? Some researchers believe that changes in the Earth's magnetic fields are to blame.

The Earth's Magnetic Fields: What They Are and How Birds Use Them to Migrate

The Earth's magnetic field is sililar to that of a bar magnet, with north and south poles.The magnetic field causes a bubble around the Earth which protects it from solar winds, asteroids, and other objects in space. Scientists believe the magnetic poles are due to electric currents that come from the Earth's core.The circulating electric current creates a dynamo effect, which is caused, in part, byt the rotation of he Earth's axis. A dynamo effect is similar to what happens with an electric generator. When the magnetic field interacts with paticles from solar winds, it creates what is known as the aurora borealis near the poles.

I have been monitoring http://spaceweather.com for CME's, sunspots, solar flares, magnetic storms, etc., and the Sun has been quiet of recent. There was an eclipse.

Well when I do my paperround at 6am in the morning there are lots of birds around so if they die then and most people wake up at 7am and thats when they could be discovered. All the discoveries in britian seems to be fish though, I'l post in the morning if I'm caked in dead birds when I wake up, however if that happens with this flu outbreak at the moment I hope for a day off school because of all the health and safety nuts.

 

[Dotini]

Now something that makes sense! Southerners shooting big guns to frighten nuisance birds, using the cover of fireworks.

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/01/mass-bird-fish-deaths-worldwide-phenomenon/
A local resident reported hearing about 20 loud booms Saturday night -- which could have been fireworks or a cannon to get rid of nuisance birds -- and saw a huge flock of frantic birds when he went outside.

Boy talk about a disconnect. That last sentence has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with anything the sun does, anything it spews forth, anything it sends in any direction, any amount of flare material, normal or heavy solar wind; just nothing. The moon's shadow on the earth is just insignificant.
