No. It may not be HAARP this time, certainly not the ground base ones. You will need a large set of antenna array directly below on the ground to create something like this. There's nothing below, even though there was a post on THAAD systems nearby.

you must not be aware that there is
a Super DUMBS facility in AK which
is part of the underground network
and connected by monorail.

Yes this is true.

And its strangely curious that the three major states bird die off location form
a triangle with 120 degree lines.

This is a possiblity as well.

Did you notice there are two times that the'' whatever it is'' appears on the radar.
I wonder what the amount of time is between them are?
Maybe the big mother ship has arrived.Take me away on the white horse.

Its really hard to say at this point.

I can think of several just off the top of my head.
One thing is for sure this has dominated the headlines for weeks now.

If they were testing, they picked a really curious time of year to do it.

u have a very valid point,
we need all the theories
on the table so we can eliminate
certain possibilities due to the evidence.
And your theory of the scalar bubble
can not be eliminated at this point.
However, I just pointed out that type
experiment would be extremely dangerous
to commercial aircraft without prior notice.
Even when Vanderburg launches a missile,
they put out a NOTAM for air traffic and there
was not one for this event over Beebe.
So either ATC routed air traffic around
this event without informing the pilots
of the cause or either just told them
to avoid the turbulence by going around.
At this point, it's just a hypothetical
anyway.

Thats a valid question about the aircraft.



And I cant take credit for that theory found it this morning in a 4 page article on Helium
discussing the idea that military testing is a possibility.

www.helium.com...

Looking at the idea that the birds died from blunt force trauma, and fell dead out of the air.
Same thing is proposed to have happened in Sweden, birds dead from blunt force trauma.

Fantastic post, and very intriguing. It'll be interesting to see what official 'explanations' come out following this. Something ain't right in the skies at the moment.

The front headed in from the NW corner, I watched this system all night. We had a Tornado warning in NE Faulkner County, where I live, which was immediately canceled as the cell weakened in a split-second around 4am to 5am that morning. I was up and ready to head to a shelter that morning. This was the day of the New Years Eve tornado deaths. IT was a weird storm.

The "plume" is stationary but it is being "blown" to the SE, almost right angle to the front, so that makes me believe it is some kind of atmospheric or other anomaly which is affected by air movement. I still think this is geomagnetic (plasma or electrical discharge) of some kind since the intensity level goes from yellow or high to lower intensity. If this was some kind of plasma or electrical disturbance, supported by loud bangs, then it could have been a discharge from a fault.

Beebe and I-67 follows and identical path of the eastern edge of the Ouachita Belt. See the image in the link below for examples of this theory. Please pardon the graphic, it's not scale but depicts the generalization I am trying to illustrate. Note the cluster quakes location and also note this is the exact area of the new natural gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing work.

Anyone have opinions...let's get some professional geologists comments...there has to be more to this story; I don't believe this is related to HAARP or some strange blunt force trauma from hail or wind. It's something else.

I feel it's geological in nature related to the geological topology. A signal of New Madrid waking-up perhaps?

another thing to note is the difference
in altitude of the bird flock and the anomaly.
Birds on the radar were around 1,500FT and the
anomaly was around 10K. That is a distance
of more than a mile when that screen grab
was taken.

reply to post by trekwebmaster


That is a valid theory as well, imo.
The birds were affected by some magnetic force, could have been the fault zone.

Drawing a line from these locations at 120 degrees creates a triangle.
The triangle defines the most active region of the New Madrid Fault.

Hey, after reading this thread and putting some info together, I was inspired to start a new thread on the secondary link between the bird death locations. It seems the recent bird deaths have only occurred in the US and US ally/friendly countries... this does seem slightly peculiar.

Link: Recent Bird Deaths Only Occurred In US Ally Nations??

Did you notice the initial yellow flash right at the start?

What does the yellow represent? More intensity? Wind? Heat? Gas?

I still pose the theory that the "plume," which varies from high to lower intensity, is some kind of geological plasma / electrical discharge. Much like ball lightning. It's too big for it to be some kind of gas release, that would have been hazardous and made many sick. With fireworks going on, the event would not have been noticed as well as if it had been on another evening. Poll the locals that live in the area, what did they see?

Also note that this discharge's angle. Almost exactly 45 degrees and parallel to the New Madrid fault. Next is to check local faults around Beebe, Arkansas. There is an odd circular topological formation north of Beebe that looks like some kind of remnant of a crater? Your thoughts...

You guys keep popping up and claiming HAARP may have something to do with it. Can you please enlighten the community as to how and why you believe this is related to that paticular subject? Can you also provide a brief explanation of what HAARP is?

Thanks in advance,

Fracking the life out of Arkansas and beyond
January 5th, 2011

By Rady Ananda

Jan. 7 UPDATE: Missing from this report is the information that the US military apparently drilled 500 deep wells in Central Arkansas to dispose of phosgene, a highly toxic gas that causes the respiratory system to explode. (As reported below, deep well drilling causes earthquakes.) According to the EU Times, Russia’s spy agency, GRU, reported that the US relocated 63,000 metric tons of phosgene from Iraq to the Arkansas' Pine Bluff Arsenal, the nation’s premier chemical and bio weapons lab. Some or most of this material was and continues to be relocated to Afghanistan.

The GRU report claims that while transporting the gas via a US Air Force KC-767 tanker aircraft, a “malfunction” occurred in the aerial spraying system on December 30, killing 100,000 fish along a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River near Roseville. The next day, on another KC-767, again the aerial spraying system “malfunctioned” killing 5,000 blackbirds near Beebe. According to CNN, "the birds suffered from acute physical trauma leading to internal hemorrhage and death." A spokesperson for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission "said the birds showed evidence of trauma in the breast tissue, with blood clots in the body cavity and a lot of internal bleeding. All major organs were normal."

Bioweapons expert John Wheeler threatened to expose the operation and, according to GRU, was killed for it. ~ RA

(Original report):

The last four months of 2010, nearly 500 earthquakes rattled Guy, Arkansas. [1] The entire state experienced 38 quakes in 2009. [2] The spike in quake frequency precedes and coincides with the 100,000 dead fish on a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River that included Roseville Township on December 30. The next night, 5,000 red-winged blackbirds and starlings dropped dead out of the sky in Beebe. [3] Hydraulic fracturing is the most likely culprit for all three events, as it causes earthquakes with a resultant release of toxins into the environment. [4]

A close look at Arkansas' history of earthquakes and drilling reveals a shocking surge in quake frequency following advanced drilling. The number of quakes in 2010 nearly equals all of Arkansas' quakes for the entire 20th century. The oil and gas industry denies any correlation, but the advent of hydrofracking followed by earthquakes is a story repeated across the nation. It isn't going to stop any time soon, either. Fracking has gone global.

Hydraulic fracturing pumps water and chemicals into the ground at a pressurized rate exceeding what the bedrock can withstand, resulting in a microquake that produces rock fractures. Though initiated in 1947, technological advances now allow horizontal fracturing, vastly increasing oil and gas collection. [5] In 1996, shale-gas production in the U.S. accounted for 2 percent of all domestic natural gas production, reports Christopher Bateman in Vanity Fair. “Some industry analysts predict shale gas will represent a full half of total domestic gas production within 10 years.” [6] In 2000, U.S. gas reserve estimates stood at 177 trillion cubic feet, but ramped up to 245 tcf in 2008. These new technologies prompt experts to increase global gas reserve estimates ninefold. [7]

The grid below shows a section of the Arkansas River, with Roseville Township at bottom, where the first reports of the fish kill originated. The green lines surrounding and crossing the river indicate gas pipes, ranging from 8-20” in diameter. Any number of leaks in the pipes can explain the fish kill. Gas wells are shown by yellow ‘suns’ (see red arrows) and range from 1,500 to 6,500 feet deep. (Disposal wells, where drilling waste products are injected at high pressures, go as deep as 12,000 feet.) The red numbers next to the ‘suns’ give the number of gas wells in that spot, numbering close to 50 in this small area. [8]


(The gray numbers relate to the Township Numbering System. Each square equals one square mile. Click map for larger image.)

In December alone, over 150 earthquakes rocked Arkansas. [1] The swarm of quakes in Guy likely results from six years of intense drilling. Guy sits within the Fayetteville Shale Formation which, according to the Arkansas Geological Survey (AGS), is “the current focus of a regional shale-gas exploration and development program.” A billion cubic feet of gas has been produced from this area since 2004. [9]

Thousands of wells are in operation in North-Central Arkansas (blue section of the following map). [10] Beebe, where the bird kill occurred, is in White County and Guy is at the northern end of Faulkner Co., where the anomalous earthquakes continue.

Red-winged blackbirds roost in clusters up to a million or more birds, often with other species like starlings and cowbirds. (In the 1950s and ’60s, roosts could number 20 million birds.) Blackbirds prefer low, dense vegetative cover in wetlands or near streams. Though some may perch 30 feet above the water, most perch within one to two feet of it, and some will roost with their feet resting in water. Blackbirds can range up to 50 miles a day from roost to feeding sites, but they all settle in for the night before sunset. [11]

An earthquake of whatever scale can release a stream or cloud of gas and fracking chemicals which could easily explain why sleeping birds would suddenly take flight, and then quickly die as they succumbed to the toxic fumes. Of note, eight measured quakes within 40 miles of Beebe, and within 75 miles of Roseville, hit the area on December 30 thru several minutes past midnight on January 1st. [12] This excludes any micro- or miniquakes which can have the same effect. Significantly, the area is known for its prolific microquakes -- numbering 40,000 since 1982. [1]

Canadian Geologist Jack Century crusades against induced seismicity from irresponsible drilling. In a 2009 speech before the Peace River Environmental Society, he provided a brief explanation of how fracking induces earthquakes, completely refuting industry denial that fracking causes quakes. Fracking induces not only micro- and mini-seismic actions that can compromise the integrity of well casings, but also large earthquakes registering on the order of 5 to 7 on the Richter Scale, resulting in human deaths. [13]

Scott Ausbrooks, geohazards supervisor for AGS, told CNN in December that while earthquakes aren’t unusual in Arkansas, the frequency is. [14] Indeed, they’ve had a 1,200 percent increase in earthquakes over 2009 data just in the last four months of 2010. All of the quakes registered less than 3 on the Richter Scale; over 98% of them occurred near Guy, where we find the largest concentration of gas wells; and 99% occurred outside the New Madrid Fault zone (circled in red below) where seismic activity is expected, implying they are human induced [1]:

Though AGS publicly claims no earthquake relation to drilling, in early December, Arkansas banned new drilling permits until further notice.

CNN reported that “According to the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission, there are at least a half dozen ‘disposal wells’ within a 500-square-mile zone around Guy.” Ausbrooks noted similar “incidents in Colorado in the 1960s at Rocky Mountain Arsenal, where deep water injection was tied to earthquakes.” [14]
Arkansas Earthquake and Drilling History

When comparing Arkansas' earthquake history with its drilling history, a causative correlation becomes obvious.

The entire 19th century saw 15 recorded earthquakes and none in the first decade of the new century. A total of 694 quakes rocked Arkansas in the 20th century. That number was surpassed in 2009-2010, with the bulk (483) occurring the last three months of 2010. Table 1 was prepared using complete quake data thru 2009 [15], complete data from August thru December, 2010 [1], and just North Central Arkansas quake data from January thru July, 2010. [16]

Arkla, Inc., through its many morphs, mergers and acquisitions, is and has been a key gas driller in Arkansas. Between 1975 and the early 1980s, the company found more gas than it produced. By 1982, Arkla was able to sell Central Louisiana Electric Company more than 100 million cubic feet of gas daily. By the early 1990s, it operated the sixth-largest pipeline system in the United States and was among the ten largest operators of natural gas reserves. [17] Its production timeline coincides with the massive jump in earthquakes in the 1970s and 1980s. Today, 37 companies drill for gas and oil in Arkansas. [18]
Unregulated Fracking on a Global March

The U.S. and Canada are not alone in exploiting this highly destructive technology. Poland also embraces fracking. Several energy companies are currently exploring Poland’s reserves, including Conoco-Phillips, ExxonMobil, Marathon, Chevron, Talisman, Lane Energy, BNK Petroleum, Emfesz, EurEnergy Resources, RAG, San Leon Energy and Sorgenia E&P. [19] These new technologies will significantly impact the global trade in natural gas, according to Forbes [20]:

“Poland consumes 14 billion cubic meters of gas a year and imports more than 70% of it from Russia. It is easy to see how the country could benefit from starting shale gas drilling as soon as possible. Not only could it decrease its dependency on Russia, it might even turn into a gas exporter.”

Bateman noted that Western and Central Europe have leased their lands to frackers. Australians are suffering from the same frack contaminations as Americans, and China is also exploiting the new technology. [6]

Josh Fox’s 2010 film, Gasland, documents a multitude of harmful consequences on animal and human life, as well as property values. The most infamous scene shows people able to ignite their contaminated tap water [21]:

Fox makes the point that Dick Cheney’s former company, Halliburton, lobbied for and won exemptions from the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, Superfund, and the Safe Drinking Water Act, thanks to our corporate-owned Congress.

Nor do drillers have to disclose the toxic chemicals used, contrary to the 1986 Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. [22] Though it did not hesitate to pass on Wall Street's gambling debts to the public (twice), Congress has not found the will to pass the Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals (FRAC) Act.

In 2004, the Environmental Protection Agency determined that fracking poses no threat to water supplies and that no further studies were needed. [23] From some Orwellian nightmare, however, at least 65 of the chemicals used in fracking are considered hazardous by the EPA. They have been linked to “cancer; liver, kidney, brain, respiratory and skin disorders; birth defects; and other health problems,” according to a 2005 report by the Oil and Gas Accountability Project. Of primary concern to citizens, OGAP notes that “Approximately half of the water that Americans rely on for drinking comes from underground sources.” [24]

Wyoming took a proactive stance on full disclosure of fracking chemicals when it passed new rules in September. Loopholes, however, still allow companies to claim proprietary ownership of such information, restricting it from public view. [25]

Given the EPA’s position that fracking is safe, it’s not likely that Arkansas citizens will get much help from the federal government. Nor will they find a friend at the state level. The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality has so far been unwilling or unable to stop UMETCO Minerals Corporation from illegally dumping toxic chemicals into streams. [26]

The same situation applies across the nation where state governments protect industry over environmental and human health. Recently, outgoing Governor David Paterson vetoed legislation that would have put a moratorium on vertical and horizontal hydraulic drilling in New York. [27] Already, Pennsylvania leases a third of its public lands to private energy drillers. [21]

Given government bias toward energy giants, and BP's destruction of the Gulf of Mexico is a case in point, more direct action may be required by citizens, if environmental and human health are to be saved from the fossil fuel industry.

I doubt it was HAARP or Solar Winds as I've seen suggested by previous comments. I'm fairly sure if it WAS Solar Winds that everything on the ground would have been barbecued to a crisp. I'm also doubting HAARP because if it was a blast of intense energy aimed at any particular area, I can't see it being contained in mid-air. Although for some odd reason, this makes me think back to when there were those oddly shaped artifacts on other radars. Has anyone been able to confirm weather or not there was any other "plumes" (as it's being called now) on any other radars where birds have dropped dead? Also, what of the fish? I find it hard to believe that all these birds and fish are dying off and they have no connection to each other. Perhaps more information will come to light soon.

I had posed this last nite when the article first broke out, oh well.

heres another interesting article
www.naturalnews.com...

Monsanto has a building in the area as well

oil spill a better explanation in my opinion. Explains all the fish, and the birds are all migratory and most birds migrate to affected areas.

Look at a sat map of the gulfstream, it goes right by all affected areas, the fish kills in brazil, england, maryland.....

Its just begging to be found. also posted last night

I can see this happening. You know the oil companies use EMF drill heads. I can see one of these EMF drill heads hitting something, igniting gas or other and it "blowing-out" at some point and causing a "giant fart" of the Earth killing those birds, especially if they are on the ground.

It would explain the blunt force trauma and the plume. And they expect us to think this is safe?

reply to post by boondock-saint


Yes adn there are a lot of earth quakes in Arkansas (around 500) and in other states on that fault line. I think this is Haarp. It might not be ours.
