Now 100K Dead Fish Wash Up in Arkansas

Fish follow 5K blackbirds to their death
By Mary Papenfuss,  Newser Staff

Posted Jan 3, 2011 2:00 AM CST | Updated Jan 3, 2011 7:55 AM CST

(Newser) – More bizarre happenings in Arkansas: The state, reeling from the chilling sight of thousands of dead birds dropping from the sky over the weekend, is now grappling with 100,000 fish that have washed up on a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River. Officials suspect disease killed the drum fish, and note that while fish die-offs aren't unusual, the size of this one is. Officials are hopeful the phenomenon isn't the result of pollution or toxins. "The fish kill only affected one species of fish," an official tells CNN. "If it was from a pollutant, it would have affected all of the fish." Click for more on the dead birds.

Situation Update More than 5000 birds fall dead from Sky in Arkansas 12-31-2010 New Years Eve

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nBhYN738YU&feature=player_embedded

Arkansas game officials hope testing scheduled to begin Monday will solve the mystery of why up to 5,000 birds fell from the sky just before midnight New Year's Eve. The birds -- most of which were dead -- were red-winged blackbirds and starlings, and they were found within a one-mile area of Beebe, about 40 miles northeast of Little Rock, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said. Birds fell over about a one-mile area, the commission said in a statement. As of Saturday, between 4,000 and 5,000 birds had been found dead, said Keith Stephens with the commission. "Shortly after I arrived, there were still birds falling from the sky," said commission wildlife officer Robby King in the statement. He said he collected about 65 dead birds. The commission said it flew over the area to gauge the scope of the event, and no birds were found outside of the initial one-mile area. Karen Rowe, an ornithologist for the commission, said the incident is not that unusual and is often caused by a lightning strike or high-altitude hail. A strong storm system moved through the state earlier in the day Friday.

"It's important to understand that a sick bird can't fly. So whatever happened to these birds happened very quickly," Rowe told CNN Radio on Sunday. "Something must have caused these birds to flush out of the trees at night, where they're normally just roosting and staying in the treetops ... and then something got them out of the air and caused their death and then they fell to earth," Rowe added. Officials also speculated that fireworks shot by New Year's revelers in the area might have caused severe stress in the birds. Rowe said Sunday there was evidence that large fireworks may have played a role. "Initial examinations of a few of the dead birds showed trauma. Whether or not this trauma was from the force of hitting the ground when they fell or from something that contacted them in the air, we don't know," Rowe said. The dead birds will be sent for testing to labs at the Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission and the National Wildlife Health Center in Wisconsin. The necropsies will begin Monday, Stephens said, and the findings should be available sometime this week. The city of Beebe has hired U.S. Environmental Services to begin the cleanup and dispose of the dead birds, the commission said. The firm's workers will go door-to-door and pick up birds still in yards and on rooftops.

Look at the following web service for yourself folks. Something is killing mass amounts of birds and fish worldwide. This is by no means a rare event for the past year. Something is happening. In the military Parakeets are used as early warning system to detect chemical attacks.

The following copy and pasted from RSOE Emergency and Disaster Information Service

About 1,000 black birds fell from the sky over Beebe on Friday night, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said in a news release Saturday. Around 11:30 p.m., the commission began receiving phone calls about the birds, most of which were dead and fell over a 1-mile span, the release said. Wildlife officer Robby 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. Officers flew over the area and determined no birds had fallen outside that part of the city, the release said. Commission ornithologist Karen Rowe said in the release that the flock could have been hit by lightning or high-altitude hail. Or the birds could have died from stress if disturbed from their roost by fireworks celebrating the New Year. Beebe has hired the commission to dispose of the birds.

what the hell is this?

i read on sky news that the fish are all the same species. is it possible they were some how "targetted" or something? and the birds - also 1 species?

never heard of anything like this in the UK. Its crazy !

Birds Fall From Sky In Australia

Amanda O'Brien
The Australian
Wednesday, January 10, 2007

THOUSANDS of birds have fallen from the skies over Esperance and no one knows why.  Is it an illness, toxins or a natural phenomenon? A string of autopsies in Perth have shed no light on the mystery.  All the residents of flood-devastated Esperance know is that their "dawn chorus" of singing birds is missing.  The main casualties are wattle birds, yellow-throated miners, new holland honeyeaters and singing honeyeaters, although some dead crows, hawks and pigeons have also been found.  Wildlife officers are baffled by the "catastrophic" event, which the Department of Environment and Conservation said began well before last week's freak storm.

On Monday, Esperance, 725km southeast of Perth, was declared a natural disaster zone.  District nature conservation co-ordinator Mike Fitzgerald said the first reports of birds dropping dead in people's yards came in three weeks ago. More than 500 deaths had since been notified. But the calls stopped suddenly last week, reportedly because no birds were left.

"It's very substantial. We estimate several thousand birds are dead, although we don't have a clear number because of the large areas of bushland," Mr Fitzgerald said.

Birds Australia, the nation's main bird conservation group, said it had not heard of a similar occurrence. "Not on that scale, and all at the same time, and also the fact that it's several different species," chief executive Graeme Hamilton said. "You'd have to call that a most unusual event and one that we'd all have to be concerned about."

He expected birds would return to the area once the problem - natural or man-made phenomenon - was fixed but said it was vital the cause was identified.  The Department of Agriculture and Food, which conducted the autopsies, has almost ruled out an infectious process.  Acting chief veterinary officer Fiona Sunderman said toxins were the most likely cause but the deaths could be due to anything from toxic algae to chemicals and pesticides.

Dr Sunderman said there were no leads yet on which of potentially hundreds of toxins might be responsible. Some birds were seen convulsing as they died.  Michelle Crisp was one of the first to contact the DEC after finding dozens of dead birds on her property one morning.  She told The Australian she normally had hundreds of birds in her yard, but that she and a neighbour counted 80 dead birds in one day.

"It went to the point where we had nothing, not a bird," she said.

"It was like a moonscape, just horrible. But the frightening thing for us, we didn't find any more birds after that. We literally didn't have any birds left to die."

Excerpt from a study:  http://www.getipm.com/thebestcontrol/bugstop/control_lawn_pests.htm

Rachel Carson studied the failed governmental attempts to prevent the Japanese beetle from reaching Iroquois County, Illinois by repeatedly bombing with volatile, synthetic pesticide poisons from the air in the mid-1950's. Many insect species became sick (or died) from the poison, and were easy prey for insect eating birds and mammals. These creatures then became poisoned in turn and, in ever-widening circles of death, went on to sicken and kill those who fed on their flesh, leaving a landscape devoid of animal life, from pheasants to barnyard cats. The protracted poison war against the targeted pest, the Japanese beetle, on the other hand accomplished nothing; the "pest" continued its westward advance. The planes had been bombing with dieldrin which did remain to contaminate the soil and water for decades to come, like land mines left behind by a retreating army, guaranteeing further ecological tragedies, like the mute testimony of Iroquois County's dead ground squirrels: found with their mouths full of dirt, they had gnashed at the poisoned soil as they died in agony.

Dieldrin as wiki defines:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieldrin

Dieldrin is a chlorinated hydrocarbon originally produced in 1948 by J. Hyman & Co, Denver, as an insecticide. Dieldrin is closely related to aldrin, which reacts further to form dieldrin. Aldrin is not toxic to insects; it is oxidized in the insect to form dieldrin which is the active compound. Both dieldrin and aldrin are named after the Diels-Alder reaction which is used to form aldrin from a mixture of norbornadiene and hexachlorocyclopentadiene.

Originally developed in the 1940s as an alternative to DDT, dieldrin proved to be a highly effective insecticide and was very widely used during the 1950s to early 1970s. Endrin is a stereoisomer of dieldrin.

However, it is an extremely persistent organic pollutant; it does not easily break down. Furthermore it tends to biomagnify as it is passed along the food chain. Long-term exposure has proven toxic to a very wide range of animals including humans, far greater than to the original insect targets. For this reason it is now banned in most of the world.

It has been linked to health problems such as Parkinson's, breast cancer, and immune, reproductive, and nervous system damage. It can also adversely affect testicular descent in the fetus if a pregnant woman is exposed to Dieldrin.

This is what is so completely horrible -- the trashing of our Planet with poison.  I used to think it was about $money$.   Then, I thought, if I were in a position of wealth & power, I'd want to make a beautiful planet. hmmm.   Now, I cannot help but think it is being done on purpose with the vastness of the problem.  Bush even de-regulated air emissions for certain companies, remember?

Well, it is to be expected I guess?  Ecoscience: Population Resources Environment is an elite textbook publication that describes how they should disperse poisons & sterilizing agents from jet plane exhaust.  Just one of the many methods they should use along with CPS (Child Protective Services) in destroying the family and reducing population.  The book also describes how vaccines should be used to "give" the disease, rather than prevent disease as a means of depopulation.

Now come on folks.  Even if the planet were overpopulated and resources being depleted, there are humane ways to go about depopulation over time.  How about education & not having children on a voluntary basis for a start?  I don't get how it has to include brain damaging children with vaccines, brain damaging children with mega fluoride doses in child food products, brain damaging children with artificially-chemically-created sweeteners... killing humans.  China is toast population-wise.  It is just a matter of time what will occur with their one-child policy which has resulted in 30 million men not  having a partner because there are not enough women.  What will occur is the eradication of the Chinese population.

The above-mentioned textbook is for PhD's and above, Stanford University.  Co-Authored by Paul Ehrlich and his wife Anne, along with John P. Holdren.  John P. Holdren is Obama's current Science & Technology Czar.  Paul Ehrlich served on big Bush's administration.

In all probablitlity 5000 birds falling out of the sky at the same time does not suggest disease or a biological agent.

If they were weakened or fatgued by disease you would  be likley to see a whole lotta sick birds on the ground -- not all just dead ones falling out of the sky.  Scenario does not add up, fortunately or unfortunately.

One possibility to be sure.  For the same reasons doesn't look like toxin, though I at first thouth that could have been the case, as you'll see from my above posts.  I have changed my mind.

[Scarbo]

Haarp is a distinct possibility, but the bird in the news report, alive and yet unable to fly, unable to chirp, just walking in circles, made me think of brain impairment, such as might come from poisoning, perhaps Merucry. And it wouldn't be in the air. It would be in the same water supply that killed all those fish. So indeed the air there might be just fine.

[citizenx]

Hadn't read about that, I guess posion and disease are back on the table.  Wow, bizarre.

No, not a poison or toxin because other species would have been ffaceted, no, so something else.

It has to be nerve gas or some kind of bioweapon.

No, not a poison or toxin because other species would have been affected, no, so something else.

I just now read that part. Bizarre indeed. Alex has mentioned race specific bio weapons, so if that kind of research were going on it would make perfect sense to practice on specific animal species first to see how well it works.  

I wonder if we'll ever know what happened.  

[Rebelitarian]

When I was in the Army they trained us that if we saw that it was probably a nerve gas attack and to put our protective masks on and decontaminate our skin.

Being so close to all those underground military bases Area 51 and the like it had to be an experiment that went horribly awry.

Well I think we are seeing an amalgamation of effects. hypothetically isolating one bird (We can call him Howard) let's walk through the facts.

1. Howard is dead.
2. Howard has internal damage.
3. Howard has external damage.
4. Howard has no sign of poison.
5. Howard has no signs of lightening strike.

A Harmonic Weapon could have initiated Howard's death. A Harmonic weapon could also be focused with a 1 mile range. The frequency of the sound would resonate with Howard's heart and possibly other organs. His heart would go into A Fib, quivering and not pumping blood. He would suffer a heart attack and the quivering would create internal bruising. Howard begins his descent, reaching his maximum velocity and colliding with the concrete. This collision would create scrapes and broken bones. Possibly several of Howard's friends land on top of him and/or bystanders trample Howard.

This theory covers the initial death, the internal damage as well as the external damage. Multiply several thousand times over and you have one successful weapons test ALA the Military Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned us about.

Sonic weapon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_weapon

Sonic and ultrasonic weapons (USW) are weapons of various types that use sound to injure, incapacitate, or kill an opponent. Some sonic weapons are currently in limited use or in research and development by military and police forces. Others exist only in the realm of science fiction. Some of these weapons have been described as sonic bullets, sonic grenades, sonic mines, or sonic cannons. Some make a focused beam of sound or ultrasound; some make an area field of sound. Although many real sonic and ultrasonic weapons are described as "non-lethal", they can still kill under certain conditions.


Designed to emit sound as an irritant

Extremely high-power sound waves can break the eardrums of a target and cause severe pain or disorientation. This is usually sufficient to incapacitate a person. Less powerful sound waves can cause humans to experience nausea or discomfort. The use of these frequencies to incapacitate persons has occurred both in counter-terrorist and crowd control settings.

The possibility of a device that produces frequency that causes vibration of the eyeballs — and therefore distortion of vision — was apparently confirmed by the work of engineer Vic Tandy[1][2] while attempting to demystify a “haunting” in his laboratory in Coventry. This “spook” was characterised by a feeling of unease and vague glimpses of a grey apparition. Some detective work implicated a newly installed extractor fan that, Tandy found, was generating infrasound of 18.9 Hz, 0.3 Hz, and 9 Hz.

In 2005 BBC reported that the crew of the cruise ship Seabourn Spirit used a long range acoustic device (LRAD) to deter pirates who chased and attacked the ship [3]. Its actual efficacy, however, has not been established. A similar system is called a "magnetic acoustic device".[4]

The BBC reported in Oct 2006 on a 'mobile' sonic device which is being used in Grimsby, Hull and Lancashire and is designed to deter teenagers from lingering around shops in target areas. The device works by emitting an ultra-high frequency blast (around 19–20 kHz) that teenagers or people under approximately 20 are susceptible to and find uncomfortable. Age-related hearing loss apparently prevents the ultra-high pitch sound from causing a nuisance to those in their late twenties and above, though this is wholly dependent on a young person's exposure to high sound pressure levels.

During the 2009 G20 summit in Pittsburgh, police used sound cannons against protestors.[5]
Demonstrated infrasonic weapon

The U.S. DOD has demonstrated phased arrays of infrasonic emitters. The weapon usually consists of a device that generates sound at about 7 Hz. The output from the device is routed (by pipes) to an array of open emitters. At this frequency, armor and concrete walls and other common building materials allow sound waves to pass through, providing little defense.[6]
Research
See also: United States Department of Defense policy on non-lethal weapons

Some common bio-effects of electromagnetic or other non-lethal weapons include effects to the human central nervous system resulting in physical pain, difficulty breathing, vertigo, nausea, disorientation, or other systemic discomfort. Interference with breathing poses the most significant, potentially lethal results. Light and repetitive visual signals can induce epileptic seizures (see Bucha effect). Vection and motion sickness can also occur. Cavitation, which affects gas nuclei in human tissue, and heating can result from exposure to ultrasound and can cause damage to tissue and organs.

Studies have found that exposure to high intensity ultrasound at frequencies from 700 kHz to 3.6 MHz can cause lung and intestinal damage in mice. Heart rate patterns following vibroacoustic stimulation has resulted in serious negative consequences such as atrial flutter and bradycardia. [7] [8]

Researchers have concluded that generating pain through the auditory system using high intensity sound resulted in a high risk of permanent hearing damage. Organizations in a research program which included the Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory (Groton, Connecticut), Navy Experimental Diving Unit (Panama City, Florida), SCC San Diego, Navy Medical Research and Development Command (Bethesda, Maryland), Underwater Sound Reference Detachment of Naval Undersea Warfare Center (Orlando, Florida), Applied Research Laboratories: University of Texas at Austin, Applied Physics Laboratory: University of Washington, Institute for Sensory Research: Syracuse University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Emory University, Boston University, University of Vermont, Applied Physics Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, University of Rochester, University of Minnesota, University of Illinois, Loyola University,[disambiguation needed] and the State University of New York at Buffalo, involved high intensity audible sound experiments on human subjects.[citation needed]

The extra-aural (unrelated to hearing) bioeffects on various internal organs and the central nervous system included auditory shifts, vibrotactile sensitivity change, muscle contraction, cardiovascular function change, central nervous system effects, vestibular (inner ear) effects, and chest wall/lung tissue effects. Researchers found that low frequency sonar exposure could result in significant cavitations, hypothermia, and tissue shearing. No follow on experiments were recommended. Tests performed on mice show the threshold for both lung and liver damage occurs at about 184 dB. Damage increases rapidly as intensity is increased.

Noise-induced neurologic disturbances in humans exposed to continuous low frequency tones for durations longer than 15 minutes has involved in some cases the development of immediate and long term problems affecting brain tissue. The symptoms resembled those of individuals who had suffered minor head injuries. One theory for a causal mechanism is that the prolonged sound exposure resulted in enough mechanical strain to brain tissue to induce an encephalopathy.[9]

Indeed.

This report erroneously suggests that the 'accident" only occured in the ocean "a mile deep",  but we all know that the blown-out damaged well shaft is now all worn and broken and likely even now still leaking miles below that point. geologically it is also well known that this plate area is rising.

the Gulf seabed and waters may not be the only place this deep methane and oil is still leaking into

I think you on to something in regards to the oil spill and the mining of frozen methane/methane hydrate in deep water. I posted about this stuff some time back somewhere in these forums, where the US has found several major deposits of this stuff. Add this to the equation and the whole offshore drilling debate completely changes perspective. They ain't drilling for oil down there, they're going for the methane. Just like India and China...(note it's a 2007 article)

Warning Signs on the Ocean Floor
China and India Exploit Icy Energy Reserves
By Gerald Traufetter

China and India have reported massive finds of frozen methane gas off their coasts, which they hope will satisfy their energy needs. But environmentalists fear that tapping these resources could have adverse effects on the world climate.

On the surface, it looked like any other drill core from the ocean floor. Its shimmering grayish-green surface was both slippery and grainy at the same time. But the sample only revealed its exciting secret when the geologists on board the "Bavenit," a drilling ship, lowered the pressure in the steel tube and held a lit match to the upper end. Suddenly a yellowish-red flame began licking from the slick material.

"As astonishing phenomenon," noted the scientists from the Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey. So astonishing, in fact, that when their ship pulled into the harbor at Shenzen on June 12 of this year, the scientists were all smiles.


Shengxiong Yang and Nengyou Wu, the two expedition leaders, stand an excellent chance of going down in the history of their country as heroes. The material they pulled from the muddy ocean floor of the South China Sea has the potential to satisfy the energy needs of China and its fast-growing economy.

The flames in the drill core were coming from methane hydrate, a material first discovered in the 1970s. Its unique characteristic is that it is a seemingly frozen and yet flammable material.

In the West, this potential fuel from the ocean floor has for the most part been the stuff of fantasy. But it's a different story in Asia. The People's Republic of China is investing millions to study this massive source of energy. The same holds true for India, South Korea and Taiwan, all nations that are on a fast track to surpassing the West as economic powers.

Is that misinformation or just the US hadn't found any yet? They know now the gulf is full of it.

Seems the US government's Navy knows all about it now...

Introduction: Over the last decade, large deposits of methane hydrates have been identified along the world continental margins. Frozen mixtures of hydrocarbon gas (mostly methane) and water occur over large areas of the ocean floor and vastly exceed other carbon-energy reservoirs. With a maximum content of 164 m3 of methane and 0.8 m3 of water at standard temperature and pressure per cubic meter of hydrate and an estimated range of 26 to 139 X 1015 m3 globally, this is a significant new energy source. The content of methane in hydrates is variable and is controlled by geothermal gradients and biological methane production. International research has begun, with a primary goal of obtaining the methane in these hydrates as an energy source.

This requires a broad range of scientific efforts to address the methane hydrate presence, develop mining strategies, and predict the impact on the environment and platform stability. The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has developed strong research topics regarding methane hydrates over the last 30 years. NRL has unique field and laboratory expertise that couples physical, chemical, and biological parameters to address methane hydrate distribution, formation, and stability. Recent, current, and planned field work is active on the Texas-Louisiana Shelf in the Gulf of Mexico, Nankai Trough off the eastern coast of Japan, Blake Ridge in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, the Cascadia Margin in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, and the Haakon-Mosby Mud Volcano (MV) in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea (Fig. 7).

Seems the US Navy knows ALOT about it. And what was it that it said? "The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has developed strong research topics regarding methane hydrates over the last 30 years." And the article says in 2007 the US is in fantasyland? Hmm.

I'm thinking it is this search for methane that is behind this spill.

OP on GLP says there is evidence the birds died from "blunt force traum to internal organs mid-flight" via Twitter per autopsy.  Acoustic weapon?  Can ana LRAD do that?

As for the dead birds and fish? Me thinks there are some eugenicists out there playing games. The big deal is gene research, and targeted medicines through "gene therapy" with stem cells, etc. If you got very specific animals dropping dead like this, all over the planet, I'm thinking man is behind it, intentionally behind it.

23 pages at ATS, and this was the last one:

Well I think we are seeing an amalgamation of effects. hypothetically isolating one bird (We can call him Howard) let's walk through the facts.

1. Howard is dead.
2. Howard has internal damage.
3. Howard has external damage.
4. Howard has no sign of poison.
5. Howard has no signs of lightening strike.

A Harmonic Weapon could have initiated Howard's death. A Harmonic weapon could also be focused with a 1 mile range. The frequency of the sound would resonate with Howard's heart and possibly other organs. His heart would go into A Fib, quivering and not pumping blood. He would suffer a heart attack and the quivering would create internal bruising. Howard begins his descent, reaching his maximum velocity and colliding with the concrete. This collision would create scrapes and broken bones. Possibly several of Howard's friends land on top of him and/or bystanders trample Howard.

This theory covers the initial death, the internal damage as well as the external damage. Multiply several thousand times over and you have one successful weapons test ALA the Military Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned us about.

Massive bird deaths likely caused by loud noises  
 Updated 10m ago  
 
  By Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY

A mysterious event that caused thousands of red-wing blackbirds to rain down from the sky New Year's Eve in the Arkansas town of Beebe most likely occurred when loud noises and fireworks frightened a flock that roosts in a neighborhood, causing them to die when they flew into buildings and other obstacles, a state ornithologist said.

Preliminary necropsies on the dead birds by the state Livestock and Poultry Commission "showed trauma. The birds obviously hit something very hard and had hemorrhages," said Karen Rowe, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission ornithologist. Beyond that, all the birds were healthy. The state is also performing chemical and disease testing, but the results will take a week.

Neighbors reported "five to 12 booming noises in the eastern part of town. They reported it sounding like a cannon or transformer exploding," but officials are still investigating to find out what the noises were, Rowe said.

Im trying to find the news on something weird with bird in one of Canada province. Seem like thousand of Crows are gathering in a city. They were claiming that they were all moving together and its unusual to have so many of them together in this part of Canada.

Phasma,

Not scared of, killed by.

Birds of a feather flock together.

They are considered a "nuisance" bird, so a couple guys from the nearby base decide to test out their LRAD on New Years Eve for shits and giggles. Possible??

Maybe instead of shits and giggles, should read formal weapons test on animals.
