Bird Kill Explanation? Beebe, Arkansas
During 1-Jan-2011, thousands of birds (mostly blackbirds) mysteriously fell from the sky in Beebe, Arkansas.
Theories abound as to what may have caused the death of these birds, ranging from secret government Scalar weapons testing, to New Years fireworks, to Lightning.
Lightning
Local reporting indicates that there had been no lightning in the area for at least 10 hours.
Fireworks
Why would Beebe birds suddenly have a fireworks aversion on New Years Eve, 2011, while not having problems during 4th of July celebrations or any other previous year celebrations.
Secret Weapons
No doubt the government has top secret weapons in Research and Development and I suppose it is likely they have, or are, experimenting with electromagnetic scalar technology, but in Beebe, Arkansas?
A more plausible theory may have originated from a location 50 miles to the south, the Pine Bluff Arsenal Chemical Agent Disposal Site.
The facility was established in November 1941 as the Chemical Warfare Arsenal where the U.S. Army stored approximately twelve percent of its original mustard nerve agent chemical weapons.
Disposal of the chemical weapons apparently began during 2005 and was completed during November of 2010, however “closure operations” and “toxic waste disposal” will continue for two more years.
Could it be possible that a toxic agent was accidentally released into a prevailing surface wind which coincidentally mixed with a flock of blackbirds miles away in the town of Beebe?
It seems possible, but is only one theory out of many that are floating around cyberspace today…

Adding to the mystery, shortly afterward approximately 500 Starlings and Blackbirds fell from the sky in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, some 300 miles to the south. In addition, nearly the same time as the Beebe bird kill, approximately 100,000 Menhaden, Croaker, and Spot fish were found washed up and dead in a 20 mile stretch of the Arkansas River.

Now birds have dropped from the sky in Louisiana.
And there is also the mass dying of fish?
Maybe you have to look for another cause.
Extreme cold weather perhaps?
@R. de Haan, I have been reading reports how the fish kill in the Arkansas River may be due to stress from rapid cold (December has brought record cold to many parts of the U.S.). Odd though, how the 3 occurrences are so close in time and place.
I live about 25 miles [as a bird flies
] from Beebe. According to our local TV, the examination of the 17 Red Wing Blackbird bodies revealed that all died from blunt force trauma to the internal organs. No evidence of any poisons, toxins, nerve agents, etc, in the birds. The favorite theory to date is that something scared (fireworks???) the birds from their roost (there could be thousands in one roost) and they flew off into the night. These birds have worse night vision than humans so they might have literally flown into buildings, etc. I am not so sure but have not heard anything better to explain the trauna.
Insofar as the fish are concerned, it is believed that is was a disease simply because it only affected one species, drum carp. The Arkansas River has a gazillion fish, and this seems like the logical explanation.
The fish kill is in Ozark, AR and is a good 130 miles to the west of Beebe. Ergo, I do not think they are related.
Now the other occurrence in Louisiana, hmmmmmm.
@Hawgs Fan, Thanks for the local update! Interesting that no apparent toxins were found. That’s a good thing. Not surprised though regarding blunt force trauma, since they all fell from the sky
I know that this sort of thing has happened before. I believe the fact that these occurrences happened so close together in time (and relative space) that has people’s curiosity peaked.
When I first heard this on the news, the first thought that came to me was some sort of poison gas or toxic chemical that was emited from some type of secret military or CIA research lab. Didn’t know about the burning of WW1 nerve gas there. I know the military is burning off old poison and nerve gas in Pubelo Colorado (glad I don’t live down wind from them!!), ‘cus you know they always use the cheapest bidder/contractor to do the work! I’ve read that the containers and barrels are so old, that the ID or labels have fallen off! So they don’t even know what the hell is in these drums!
Now it’s happening in Sweden
Here is a link for the Sweden incident.
http://www.firetown.com/blog/2011/01/05/dead-birds-fall-from-sky-in-central-sweden/
A biologist in Sweden thought the birds were suffering from lack of food and cold exhausting their fat reserves.
Similar events have happened at the end of the winter season in February.
This winter started very early with extreme low temperatures creating difficult conditions for the birds.
Look at the ocean temps off coast Brasil where the dead fish washed up.
The same for Italy (the Med is cold as well)

I would worry about the Pine Bluff site too but keep in mind there is a nuclear reactor in Russelville right in proxinmity to Ozark (Lake Dardanelle that is on connects to the Arkansas River)and Beebe (up river from LA area hit too). Keep in mind certain fish (bottom feeders) are more susceptible too. I hope they look into BOTH of those sites.
hell’s a’comin…. in the form of a massive earthquake. We need to revisit the old Art Bell show archives which should contain the prediction of the splitting in half of the United States. The guest was even selling a map of the post earthquake United States indicating no bridges remaining crossing the Mississippi river. Hhmmmm. That should promote increased business for the Panama Canal. Did not we already sell the canal use fee collection rights to China?
Could it be that a chemical not covered by the test used could be involved in the bird kill? Between the oil spill, corexit dump and all the undisclosed chemicals and naturally occurring radioactive material involved in hydraulic fracturing I think it could be possible that chemicals exist in the environment that would not be detected by standard chemical tests. (Especially since hydraulic fracturing fluid chemical compositions are undisclosed) There are alot more unknown chemical variables in our environment here recently than I think most people feel comfortable conceptualizing. Throw the weapons disposal chemical plant within 50 miles of the bird kill into the mix who knows what new chemical combinations could be present and undetected by standard chemical tests.
Listening to Alex Jones broadcast for 4th of January, talk back listener said the chemtrails just north of Beebe had become extraordinarily heavy. Alex Jones comments early veterinarian resuts say the birds’entrails were “pulverised”ie liquified. Birds died before hitting the ground. No firworks explosions or panic such as hitting one another in flight can do this. Dogs or cats feeding from carcass not dying may be due to better tolerance. Birds are very intolerant of anything potentiallytoxic hence their use in mines & laboratories as ‘early warning systems’.
How can you people be so ignorant?? The cold weather?? Hungry birds?? So, they all just dropped dead at the same time? Get real! This is the government. Get your heads out of the sand and deal with reality!
Back in May of 2010, 12,000 antelope were found dead in Kazakhstan. I think it was a deadly silent killer volcanic fog in Arkansas that killed the birds. There was a case back in 1986 in Camaroon, there was a mysterious fog that kills 2000 people, the day before 2000 people died a priest remember seeing dead birds falling from the sky and seeing dead fish at the lake. They believed that there was under the lake near by is a volcano that burped up a lethal gas that killed 2000 people in Camaroon.
“Since September 20, the community of 549 residents north of Little Rock has experienced an almost constant shaking from 487 measurable earthquakes.”

The reason no toxins were found is because they don’t know what to search for …this is a new weapon for either us of another entity.
@ enmare: Keep banging that gong mate, you might do some good. Personally the sheep in our back field make more sense than most folk these days.
5000 birds was the last count? In a 1 sq mile area…?
Ascribing such an overwhelming, but specifically placed phenomena such as this to mother nature seems very naive.
HAARP seems to be the favorite explanation in th internet rumour mill and I’d go with that for want of anything better.
Bottom line is that you’re back to the same people that can’t tell the difference between a controlled demolition and a building damaged by office fires. In a way maybe the fewer people who remain sheeple is good for those of us who have woken up – there will be less competition for the long term survival resources. Assuming we don’t all go the same way as our Common Sense – extinct
Look at this!!! http://www.thebigwobble.com/2011/01/world-wide-dead-birds-fish-and-other.html
Something really strange is happening…
It can’t be from cold weather in Beebe, because it wasn’t very cold that night, in the 30s before and after midnight. The temp dropped to below freezing later in the morning Jan 1, which was apparently after the birds were killed.
Since this is now a global mystery, it is not likely related to a facility near Beebe, exclusively. What do all these sites have in common? HAARP programs? Chemical waste facilities? Secret weapons sites?
Anyone can confirm the weather at the day of birds’ death??
If it was full of clouds in the sky, it’s possible that the dead birds are just thrown down from airplanes, above the clouds, without being noticed.
The location in Louisiana, 2 in Arkansas and 1 in Kentucky are all linked by our navigable inland waterway. The one in LA on the Mississippi, the 2 in AR on the Arkansas and the one in KY is on the Tennessee. All are accessable by tug and barge service except Beebe AR, but is only around 35 miles from Little Rock and the Arkansas River, Peculiar. High power audio could be used to kill both fish (Sonar)and birds. These large winter flocks of mixed blackbirds should be obvious to people where ever they occur and could be easily disrupted after dark by many means, very loud noises like air horns or loud hailers would suffice. I would also expect these flocks to be in close proximity to a wetland enviroment that would be approachable by boat. That is, a couple of highschool kids with 5000 watt subwoofers could have done this. I think the massive disruption of any of these large flocks to all take flight at night would always result in many dead birds. The same way as a weasel in the hen house can kill 100 birds, the weasel only gets one hen and panic gets all the rest. (Did any one inspect the actual roost locations these birds originated from? they should be reasonably close to where the dead birds where found. I would think there would be plenty of bodies right at the roost sites.)
@Hawgs fan~ Flying into things? Sure, that *is* what they told us. But could anyone really be so naive? If they had flown into windows, mailboxes, cars, etc… first of all, they would have been heard.
Secondly, they would have been all been lined up within a foot of the things they supposedly hit. Ever see a bird hit a window? It doesn’t land 50′ away.
All pix show birds dropped randomly from the sky.
Another site linked by navigable inland waterway. Lebanon, Tennessee one of the locations named in TN as yet another bird kill is located on the Cumberland River. The Cumberland River is maintained for tug and barge traffic by the US Army Corp of Engineers. Over 300 miles of the Cumberland is navigable, it is connected by canal to the Tennessee river for barge traffic at Kentucky Lake near Gilbertsville KY, another bird kill location.
These fish and bird kills aren’t just here in the US,but all over the world. Not just small birds, but also birds of prey. Not just small fish but also stingrays and eels.
China thinks it’s caused from the same pole shift affecting Tampa airport. Some feel is the HARRP and Korea thinks it’s a virus. Whatever it is, it’s all over the world not just here. Sudden death in large flocks of birds is unusual and needs to be honestly investigated instead of telling us something that they think will stop us from asking questions.
Something weird is going on, just what, I’m not sure…but I think the world has a right to know the truth. Maybe it’s the weather changes that we have seen, but why would that kill them all at once?
There was an old lady, from the “Cree” tribe, named “Eyes of Fire”, who prophesied that one day, because of the white mans’ or Yo-ne-gis’ greed, there would come a time, when the fish would die in the streams, the birds would fall from the air, the waters would be blackened, and the trees would no longer be, mankind as we would know it would all but cease to exist.

Additional Tennessee locations mentioned as being mass bird kill sites are Davidson county (Nashville) and Montgomery county (Clarksville) are both along the Cumberland river. It could be a coincidence that 3 locations in TN, 1 in KY, 2 in AR and 1 in LA are all connected by the commercial river system including the Mississippi, the Arkansas, the Ohio, the Tennessee and the Cumberland. What do you think? All the others are unrelated.

What do you think, if that could be a sign that something is happening with Earth’s Magnetic Fields ?
They say it’s because they got scared by the fireworks on new years…. That’s about the best explanation I’ve been able to find from official sources.. Are you buying it??
@Jonas, That does seem to be the predominant main stream explanation. However I’ve been alive long enough to have experienced many New Years Eve’s and 4th of July fireworks, and have never heard of this cause-and-effect before (unless it simply wasn’t reported widely before). My healthy skepticism tells me that something else may be happening (ever heard of the Canary in the coal mine?), I’m sure that time will tell…
@Hawg fan
HOW do you explain birds flying into building out in the middle of a RURAL country road…..with NO BUILDINGS in sight?????
This Was An Incident at The Pine Bluff Storage Depot. There Was a Spill. That Put Out a Cloud , The Bird’s Flew Into It and Died , The Upper Air Current Took This East and South. It Has Now Circled The Globe.
Explination for The Fish , THEY Washed Down The Cement to Get Rid of This Nasty Poison.
That Was Carried Out Thru The Waste Water Sewer Lines and That Went into the Arkansas River and Points Else Where.
The Reason There is Blunt Force Trama is Because When The Bird’s Breathed this stuff IN This Literally Exploded Their Lungs etc etc.
That Turned The Insides to Mush.
When a Bird Slams Into a Building , or What Ever , They Have Blood On Them.
This is a Cover Up so People Don’t Get into a Panic and Converge on their Capitol Buildings and Demand Answer’s to this Situation.
Hi, just came across your blog (from Before Its News) and have noted that I am well within the radius of the climate zombie hordes when they descend from the city. sigh.
As far as all the dying animals around the globe, there IS an explanation…
malnourishment:

Sonic boom?
I think its methane. It all happened around the same day as the magnetic pole shift and earthquakes. If methane rose from deep cracks on the ocean floor and rose up through the water it would explain all of the deaths! Pockets of methane in the air?? Killing birds?? Remember when many bison and animals died at yellowstone?? It seemed mysterious, untill they found it was a result of methane gas leeching into the atmosphere!
haarp would be used to divert your attention, after the initial act. i’m not positive, but i think arkansas received the chemicals from iraq, i’m leaning to a chemical spill, even though USDA said they were involved in the bird kill.
have you seen the pink in the clouds after the sun is down and the moon is up, i wonder if that is caused from the aluminum particles or silver iodized that are supposed to make clouds or the weapons material. you mix all of this in the wind, along with everything else kind of scary.
I,personally think that it might be aliens that might be experimenting with our animals, our the birds could have flown into hovering spaceships, hidden from our sight.
When the death of millions of fish and birds are dying ALL OVER THE WORLD, how does one not think of a global explanation-rather than local explanations. Sure there are area’s where toxicity could cause some of the deaths, but surely not all of the deaths. I know this subject alarms/scares a lot of us, and it must! But we need to keep searching and talking about these deaths until we get some answers. We probably can’t do anything about this, but being informed helps us to prepare. A lot of people on these websites (people who want to be more informed versus what the mainstream media tells us)are preparing for a cataclysmic event, and I hope those who read about this are doing the same. I would rather be laughed at for over preparing, than suffer the consequences if I did nothing at all.
It probably has nothing whatsoever to do with this (bird & fish kills etc.) but I’m a healthy 44 year old Arkansas male and I have been extremely sick with respiratory type symptoms since January 2nd, the day after the incident. I’m not actually much of a conspiracy theorist. I found this blog while searching to find anybody else who might be experiencing something similar. And being flu season I suppose it’s possible I’ve suddenly become overly vulnerable…but for three months?! The morning of January 2nd I drove from my home in Eastern Perry County 30 miles to Little Rock to pick up a child who had spent the night out. From the moment I stepped out of the car I began sneezing, became heavily congested in my head and chest, and basically have been that way since. Historically each year I have suffered a late summer or early fall allergy, have had one 2-3 day bout with the flu, and had rare but occasional colds. Overall I would say extremely healthy. Nothing will make this crud go away…I can think I have it beaten for 2-3 days and it’s right back, full force. Again I an NOT a conspiracy theorist…and the symptoms I’ve been suffering may have simply coincided with the bird kill…but I don’t think this is a “natural” cold / flu.
OR is it Signs of an Alien attack:
