1000+ birds dropped dead from the sky.

That would indicate a bio hazard,

I will say this though, biohazard DID register on the Emergency Disaster Information chart and still did today too!



Now I don't read this often so I don't know if this is a common occurrence/report.

Hazmat gear is only a precaution. I don't think we should read too much into that. After all, I wouldn't suspect someone to pluck up dead birds donning shorts and sandals.

You may be right...and that is certainly the card they are playing. However, I have been on several job sites where the EPA and game & fish were picking up dead animals, and no one wore hazmat suits. Gloves, yes. Full hazmat suits with breathing apparatus - no.

Just saying that such a move does NOT inspire confidence that "they were just hit by lightning" (which wasn't in the area at the time of the incident)

The military project sounds about right except how would they single out black birds and drum fish. If they experimented in the river other fish would be found dead - same goes for the sky, other types of birds would be dead. The greatest mystery here is the fact that we don't have various species. Good work on the break down!

If a DNA specific weapon was being tested, who knows what other species might be affected? If you look close enough in our DNA, you find all sorts of strands from our evolutionary history.

This happened in the U.K, apparently it was due to the illegal use of insecticides. Flock of birds eat insects, (or -rat poison) at much the same time, and so (hours later) die at much the same, and being in a flock, they die in a flock.

Yes, exactly. And considering I presented research and a device that could be used to make just such a weapon to UAMS about 3 years ago, kind of makes you go "Hmm....." Of course, I don't believe it was MY research or device as many people often come up with the same idea at the same time. Still, it does tend to make someone wonder....

edit on 090705 by Liberal1984 because: grammer

Then why not the sparrows? Or the bats? Or any of the other 1,000 species of birds that ALSO eat insects?

Finally - a theory with some sense. Poison!

Remember 10.000++ of dead fish was found near by. What if the fish was poisoned and died, which again is easy food for birds.. They eat the poison fish then die.

Why would birds just die anyway, if they were disoriented by magnetic fields? Lost yes, drop dead down, no.

Maybe I missed it here, but has anyone mentioned that it was only one type of fish?
Why wasn't it all the fish in that area?
Something really strange is happening and yes, I watched Flashforward.
Maybe this is a PR stunt! Joking!

Are you shure only sparrows? Maybe there are thousands of other dead birds in the fields and woods that havent been found/reported yet.

I would have to say that someone with a powerful infrared laser fanned a flock of birds while in flight over their experiment. it most likely blinded them and as a result they crashed, would be my best guesstimate

I just read an article (since, closed it out) which said blackbirds are notorious for their bad eye sight. WTF? Suggesting they all flew into a tree?

As far as your comment on haz-suits. I think we're living in very nocuous and VERY untrusting times!
Hell, I saw someone wearing plastic gloves just rifling through books in my public library.
Germs germs germs. Fear fear fear.
And ca-ching goes Big-Pharma cash register.

Speaking of which.....I was just at CVS this morning and they actually have 'gift-cards' for the flu shot. So if you REALLY REALLY love someone, tell them so by buying them a $29.99 shot of poison!

How do you poison a certain school of fish? Put it in a bowl with their name on it? That makes the least amount of sense. Sorry.

yes. According to news reports and info out from Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, it was only red-winged blackbirds and a few related starlings. Also, the kill zone was localized to a one mile area within the Beebe city limits.

Oh...and someone said "1 duck" but I didn't see the source on that.

Directly from Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's website:

BEEBE – Last night, ringing in the New Year took on a whole different meaning for the citizens of Beebe. Beginning at around 11:30 p.m., enforcement officers with Arkansas Game and Fish Commission began getting reports of dead black birds falling from the sky in the city limits of Beebe.
Officers estimated that over 1,000 birds had fallen out of the sky over the city before midnight. Most of the birds were dead, but some were still alive when officers arrived. The blackbirds fell over a one-mile area in the city. AGFC wildlife officer Robby King responded to the reports and found hundreds of birds. “Shortly after I arrived there were still birds falling from the sky,” King said. King collected about 65 dead birds that will be sent to the Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission lab and the National Wildlife Health Center lab in Madison, Wis.
The AGFC has flown over the area to gauge the scope of the event. There were no other birds found outside of the initial area.

Oh...and ironically, the Game and Fish Commission site says NOTHING about the fish....

My take on this which has already been mentioned here:

The one species of the majority of the dead drum fish in the river is most likely from disease. This started happening a day before the dead red-winged blackbirds and was also 125 miles away. The blackbird's habitat includes fresh water marshes so it completely possible, since birds gather in flocks, that these particular birds were exposed to the dead fish and extracted the disease/poison.

What happened in the river is what you should be trying to figure out.

I agree that this is possible... But that still doesn't explain why other bird species, that also would have been exposed to the same fish, haven't died - such as buzzards, eagles, or hawks. Further....why all these birds in this one centralized area? If the river was "ground zero," then why not birds falling dead in the vicinity around the dead fish?

True, true!

Anyone seen any evidence to what caused the dead fish?

As another poster pointed out, the blackbirds would have been perched and sleeping, not flying unless disturbed.

If this were the case, wouldn`t all the birds of been found under trees etc. Judging by the clean-up operation this is not the case. They fell from the sky.

Stephen Bryant recalls, "Millions, millions fly over every night. You look up at the sky and it's just black and then last night at about 10:30 I came out here and saw a bird drop."

You certainly have a bit of an attitude in this thread .....

What does everyone here think of the possibility of HAARP as the cause of these strange events. I HAARP can be used to trigger earthquakes such as the one in Haiti, what if this were being used to trigger another in Chile, or the New Madrid fault? Bio Bio, Chile and Beebe Arkansas both lie on the 35-36 degree latitude, one north one south and almost in a straight line. I checked this out on Google Earth. Both had birds fall out of the sky at the exact same time on New Year's Eve! Argentina had a quake on the 1st and there was one on the 2nd, very close to Bio, Bio, Chile.

I think the people who believe it's HAARP should check to see if it was running at the time. I think HAARP is much more than meets the eye but I doubt it has some Kill species XX button on it.

I am skimmed through all the pages of the posts and think I have not seen this but apologies if someone has posted this.. Pine Bluff hosts the National Center for Toxicology Research..

The National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) in Jefferson (Jefferson County) is thirty-five miles southeast of Little Rock (Pulaski County) and twenty miles north of Pine Bluff (Jefferson County). The site, consisting of 496 acres with numerous buildings and research laboratories, is under the control of the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which was part of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) at the time the center formed. HEW became the Department of Health and Human Services (DHS) in 1980. The facility addresses the toxicity of various chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs, assesses the risks of microbial food contamination, and identifies microbiological pathogens that could be used for acts of terrorism. Including various contractors, research assistants, and scientists, NCTR has some 600 on-site workers, 239 of which are federal employees.

maybe trying out some new pest control..
