Grisly mystery after scores of starlings fall out of the sky and lie dying... in a SINGLE front gard

Maybe the leader of the pack died in the air and the other sparlings just simply followed it for sparlings being a highly social family. Just a thought...

HAARP or a saturated Chemtrail cloud. Most likely HAARP practicing.

I don't doubt they are real,just never heard of that occuring near the ground.
Pretty nasty thing to have to deal with as a pilot I bet!

So, lets see. Antarctica is bleeding, Russia has Purple Snow, birds are dying in flocks in one area, The poles are racing towards Russia, what else has happened recently?

If these little signs aren't waking people up...then I have no idea what will.

How big are these things, how are they used and why would someone be using one?

I've always thought they were kind of wacky, but I've seen reports of people(mostly in the UK iirc) who claim to be the victims of microwave harassment. Could this be related tech?

As logical as I try to be,whilst also keeping an open ish mind,I have to agree things could be described as strange at this point in time.
That we are at the brink of some kind of extinction level event should not be ruled out.

Your words do not fall on deaf ears.

Is anyone testing for brain damage or brain anomalies in these birds or just poisons? I have a hard time believing that birds are so unaware of their environment as to just fly straight into the ground in a group of 100. There are way too many reports of birds just dying for no apparent reason in mid-air. Are we to believe they all just forgot where the ground was? I don't believe this just happens for no reason. Birds are not stupid enough to fly into the ground like this unless they had suffered some kind of brain injury due to some localized event. I just can't believe a hawk did this especially when hawks have been found dead in other areas this has happened in. It just doesn't make sense to me.

That must have been a seriously heavy piece of kit,
Would it be bad form/illegal to share with us the power consumption of such a system,or to tell us if it or a next gen version is still in use?

I don't want you to divulge any secrets or anything,but that sounds pertinant to the subject here.
(although I really want it to be something more natural,its good to consider all the angles.)

Both the microburst and the predator evasion theories would stand up better if avian flight and mechanical flight were remotely similar.

These are masters of flight, you can't compare their flight dynamics to monkeys in big old metal Cessnas. The kind of highspeed pinpoint maneuvers a common starling does on a regular basis would put a veteran fighter pilot to shame. And i doubt a microburst would even bother them. Since they're fairly low to the ground 24/7 they'd be no stranger to dealing with them like the average pilot would be.

birds have this thing in their brain that picks up magnetic frequencies and stuff that tells them when to fly south for the winter and helps them navigate. as far as i know birds are very sensitive to magnetic waves and what not so maybe there was a blast of magnetic energy and these birds just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time i have no idea where this blast could have come from though i think emporer of the invusible empire has the best theory

reply to post by ashanu90


Yup, magnetite.

We have it in our brains as well, but birds have much higher levels. My first thought was actually some kind of magnetic blast from the sun or whatnot, but that doesn't seem to fit with how precise it was, at least for natural methods of producing such things.

Having read the Thread, these thoughts occur,

Birds are related to dinosaurs.

There may be no military installations in that part of Somerset but just a hop skip and jump away is Salisbury Plain, half of which is owned by the MOD and is largely a public no go area.

If the post mortems reveal that the birds all dropped dead at the same time and fell dead to the ground, this will not be reported.

Canaries! Birds are not used as early warning systems for nothing. What did they breathe?

Pigeons! Birds navigational skills are not used as courier services for nothing. What knocked them off course?

Sound. Many animals are more sensitive to sound than humans are. What did they hear?

Satellite telecommunications. Don't cause illnesses in the brain, do they? How do we actually know the full extent of the potential damage to bio-matter caused by this tech?

Animal behaviour is more closely atuned to Earth than is human behaviour.

Does murmuring indicate anything about starlings' communal will? Do they synchronise through communal mind or is there a 'leader' that the others just 'copy'? And if the later, then is it possible that the leader just died, mid-flight, naturally of old age and the rest of the flock mindlessly suicide bombed?

S+F

Really? You can't think of a logical explaination? With all the toxins and harmful gasses in the air, why couldn't this happen?

Given the fact that we dont see birds in flocks falling to their deaths more frequently and they fell damn near each other...I'd say they were hit by something like a plane/craft. Perhaps something hit the flock- which would make sense as a gas cloud seems less probable given the fact that some birds survived the fall...

Broken beaks and bodies? Sure could have been caused from the impact on the ground-but if something did hit them up in the sky, that certainly makes more sense as to why they fell next to each other basically.

Its quite sad...but I feel were this related to a cellphone tower- the birds would have avoided danger....I can't help but feel they ran into something or were hit by a plane/craft of who knows what.

Similar incidents of flocks of birds plummeting to earth have been reported all over the world, with pesticides and collisions sometimes being blamed.

This is the only line in the article that caught my attention.

Found this online. A bit long but worth the read.

The Birds, the Bees and Electromagnetic Pollution, by Dr. Andrew Goldsworthy, May 2009


Many of our birds are disappearing mysteriously from the urban environment and our bees are now under serious threat. There is increasing evidence that at least some of this is due to electromagnetic pollution such as that from cell towers, cell phones, DECT cordless phones and Wifi. It appears capable of interfering with their navigation systems and also their circadian rhythms, which in turn reduces their resistance to disease. The most probable reason is that these animals use a group of magnetically-sensitive substances called cryptochromes for magnetic and solar navigation and also to control the activity of their immune systems.
Birds are very sensitive to electromagnetic fields and some may find the electromagnetically polluted urban environment no longer tolerable. Migratory birds may also lose their sense of direction and never reach their intended destination, perhaps just falling into the sea on the way. Bees are even more under threat and are extremely important to us. Without bee pollination, there would be very few brightly colored or scented flowers in the countryside or in our gardens and many of our crops would be devastated. We would be left just with crops that are wind pollinated (mostly cereals) that do not on their own provide a healthy balanced diet, nor do they act as host to the friendly nitrogen fixing bacteria that are essential to the sustainable fertility of our soil. This may be a very heavy price to pay for our unrestricted use of cell phones and other forms of wireless communication.

What are cryptochromes?

The cryptochromes are a group of pigments found in virtually all animals, plants and many bacteria. They consist of a flavin (a derivative of vitamin B2­) folic acid and protein. Like all pigments, they get their colour by absorbing light at specific wavelengths. The cryptochromes absorb blue-green and ultra-violet light and use its energy to drive photochemical reactions where light energy is converted to chemical energy. The earliest cryptochromes used this energy to repair damaged DNA. However, more modern ones have evolved in both animals and plants where they measure light to reset their biological clocks. In some animals, they also sense the direction of the Earth's magnetic field. Unfortunately, cryptochromes are very badly affected by weak oscillating electromagnetic fields that are orders of magnitude weaker than the Earth's steady magnetic field. This can disrupt both solar and magnetic navigation, which can account for colony collapse disorder in bees, the loss of some migratory birds and butterflies and a weakening of the immune system in many more organisms.

Oscillating magnetic fields severely disrupt cryptochrome function.

Ritz and co-workers (Nature Vol. 429 13th May 2004 pp 177-180) showed that, provided they were given light of the wavelengths absorbed by cryptochrome , robins could orient themselves for navigation in the Earth's magnetic field. However, this was severely disrupted by the application of extremely weak alternating electromagnetic fields. A broad spectrum of frequencies between 0.1-10MHz at field strengths as little as 0.085 microtesla (about 500 times weaker than the Earth's field) made the birds completely unable to respond to the Earth's field! The quantum mechanics of the process suggest that these alternating fields are likely to be perceived as a blinding "magnetic light" that blots out the bird's "magnetic vision".

Mobile telecommunications generate similar fields.

It was probably some disgruntled person feeding them poison, when they took off their matabolism went up and spread the poison faster through their systems, and then they drop dead out of the sky.

Another reprt here suggesting they were trying to avoid a sparrow hawk (or maybe a UFO)

uk.news.yahoo.com...

Ive hunted birds for years and this isn't uncommon, just seems like with it being in a town its gathered some interest. Starling will follow the one at the front and so its most likely it was trying to avoid a bird of prey and swoops down extremely fast as evasive action. the other follow and there you have it...

The bleeding from their beaks and claws curled up is just ridiculous. who checked all 100 beaks and 600 claws? made to sound worse than it is.
