Birds fall dead from the sky for no apparent reason
Sunday, January 2nd, 2011
From Yahoo News and i09, “Over a thousand dead black birds rain down on Arkansas town.” i09 has a local video report.
BEEBE, Ark. – Wildlife officials are trying to determine what caused more than 1,000 blackbirds to die and fall from the sky over an Arkansas town.
The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said Saturday that it began receiving reports about the dead birds about 11:30 p.m. the previous night. The birds fell over a 1-mile area of Beebe, and an aerial survey indicated that no other dead birds were found outside of that area.
Commission ornithologist Karen Rowe said the birds showed physical trauma, and she speculated that “the flock could have been hit by lightning or high-altitude hail.” ~news.yahoo.com
This is reminiscent of reports about fish and animals falling from the sky and other seemingly impossible and unlikely happenings. In August of 2000 the BBC reported that it rained fish over a town in Norfolk saying that, ”Reports of falling fish, frogs, tomatoes and even coal date back to the dawning of the millennium.”
A quick search on google turns up dozens of news stories about the phenomenon of dead birds falling from the sky all over the world.
- It’s raining birds on Western Australia
- ‘Raining Dead Birds,’ Resident Says (Phoenix, AZ)
- NJ Residents: ‘It Was Raining’ Dead Birds
- Dead birds rain down on towns half a world apart
Obviously this seems like it’s not an isolated incident:
[January 2007] Three weeks ago thousands of crows, pigeons, wattles and honeyeaters fell out of the sky in Esperance, Western Australia.
Then last week dozens of grackles, sparrows and pigeons dropped dead on two streets in Austin, Texas.
As birds continue to die in Esperance and the town’s dawn chorus remains eerily silent, vets in both countries have been unable to establish a cause of death – despite carrying out a large number of autopsies on the birds.
Wildlife officials from Western Australia’s Department of Environment and Conservation said they were baffled by the “catastrophic event” but emphasised the deaths had nothing to do with a severe storm which recently struck the area, as the birds had started dying before then. District nature conservation coordinator Mike Fitzgerald said: “It’s very substantial. ~dailymail.co.uk Jan 2007

Earthquake may shorten our days
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
Shortened the length of our days?
The massive 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile may have changed the entire Earth’s rotation and shortened the length of days on our planet, a NASA scientist said Monday. ~news.yahoo.com
Sounds biblical…
The quake, the seventh strongest earthquake in recorded history, hit Chile Saturday and should have shortened the length of an Earth day by 1.26 milliseconds, according to research scientist Richard Gross at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
“Perhaps more impressive is how much the quake shifted Earth’s axis,” NASA officials said in a Monday update.

Atlas Obscura
Friday, January 29th, 2010
I found a neat site featuring, “Wondrous, curious, and bizarre locations around the world.” Places and features that are truly unique and interesting. I like the wind chime sculpture:
A 3-meter-tall, wind-powered musical sculpture made of galvanized steel pipes, it stands high above the English town of Burnley. The pipes swirl to form the shape of a tree bent and blown by the wind, and produce an eerie, melodious hum as the constant wind on Crown Point drifts through them. ~atlasobscura.com

Auditory vocal hallucinations
Monday, January 25th, 2010
1 in 10 seven to eight year olds hear voices in their heads according to a British study.
Up to 16 percent of mentally healthy children and teens may hear voices, the researchers note in the British Journal of Psychiatry. While hearing voices can signal a heightened risk of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders in later life, they add, the “great majority” of young people who have these experiences never become mentally ill.
To further investigate how common these “auditory vocal hallucinations” are and whether they are associated with developmental and behavioral factors, the researchers looked at 3,870 Groningen primary schoolers. All were asked whether they had heard “one or more voices that only you and no one else could hear” in the past year. ~news.yahoo.com

Man eating bird found
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009
Giant bird existed in New Zealand: “A Maori legend about a giant, man-eating bird has been confirmed by scientists.”
With a wingspan of up to three metres and weighing 18kg, the female was twice as big as the largest living eagle, the Steller’s sea eagle. And the bird’s talons were as big as a tiger’s claws. “It was certainly capable of swooping down and taking a child,” said Paul Scofield, the curator of vertebrate zoology at the Canterbury Museum. “They had the ability to not only strike with their talons but to close the talons and put them through quite solid objects such as a pelvis. It was designed as a killing machine.” ~independent.co.uk

Linking UFO’s and the occult
Saturday, September 12th, 2009
An interesting article by Daniel V. Boudillion entitled, “Aleister Crowley’s Lam & the Little Grey Men, A Striking Resemblance.”
I first became curious about a possible connection between the “grey aliens” of popular UFO culture and the activities of certain occultists after seeing several of UFO investigator Ray Fowler’s books on the recommended reading list of a satanic website. In an idle moment I had done a Google search on Ray’s book, The Watchers II, and one of the spots that listed it – much to my surprise – was the recommended reading list of a satanic group. (It is not my moral judgment that this group is satanic, the group itself calls itself satanic.) ~boudillion.com

Ocean’s magnetic field?
Saturday, September 12th, 2009
Wow.
Earth’s magnetic field, long thought to be generated by molten metals swirling around its core, may instead be linked to ocean currents, according to controversial new research published this week.
It suggests that the movements of such volumes of salt water around the world have been seriously underestimated by scientists as a source of magnetism. ~timesonline.co.uk
