After Arkansas, Louisiana and Maryland's turn now. On Monday January 3, 2011, at least about 500 dead birds found scattered on a street in Pointee Coupee Parish, Louisiana. This location is about 480 km from Beebe, where about 1,000 birds found dead on the eve of the new year yesterday. Elsewhere in Maryland and Brazil, a large number of fish were also found dead. What is happening actually? This paper is at once an update from previous posts.
Consecutive events making the virtual world is getting warmer. Climate scientists argue that these events caused by global warming. The conspiracy theorists believe that this incident caused by a secret government experiment sejenisChemtrail or HAARP, while others believe that these events are signs of impending disaster in 2011.
If only happened once in one location, perhaps this incident was not too special. But within the contiguous happened 4 times the death of animals in large numbers. This caused quite a question mark. What really happened? The exact cause of death of more than 1,000 (other sources mention 5,000) birds red wing Blackbird in Arkansas is still unfinished. However, preliminary reports coming from the Laboratory of the Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission mentions that the birds Blackbird of Beebe died from injuries in a collision. Stephen Keith, a spokesman for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, said that the birds showed evidence of severe wounds in the chest, blood clots in the cavities of the body and severe internal bleeding. His heart was found in circumstances which indicate the occurrence of pale blood shortage. His organs show no signs of infectious disease. Dr.George Badley of the Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission which examined the carcass samples added if the bird stomachs were empty. That is, the possibility of food poisoning can be eliminated.
At first Dr.Badley believe that a storm may have caused the birds to collide and die. "The night it happened a few times a lightning storm." He said. "Blackbird fly ordinary red wing groups. Perhaps a storm had meghisap them and then go grab lightning. That's my forecast."
However, Dr.Badley interesting theory after it emerged that the storm appeared only in the area about 10 hours before the events of the fall of the birds. So it looks like the storm is not the cause of death.
So what gives?
After this news pushed, some residents reported that they heard a loud noise before the birds began to fall. Based on this report the researchers concluded that the loud noise that is what has caused the birds were disoriented so that collide or crash into other objects. LeAnn White, field researchers from the National Wildlife Health Center in Wisconsin who also received samples of dead birds from Arkansas said: "You're distracted, you're disoriented, and then you try to determine your position. We've never seen anything like this before. When there is thick fog, the birds can hit the towers or electrical cables."
If so, out loud what might have caused the bird disoriented?
Looks like most researchers agree that the loud noise was coming from the new year fireworks.
In Arkansas, the ordinary people light fireworks called "Cannon" on New Year's Eve. The sound of fireworks this type of fireworks louder than the other. Vote "Cannon" This may have created fear of the birds. Karen Rowe, Ornitologis from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission explained further: "To avoid the sound of fireworks, a collection of Blackbird that may have been flying at a height of the roof of the house, not the height of the tree as usual. Birds of this species has poor eyesight at night. This may have caused them to bump into things around it."
Karen estimates that the number of birds that died in Arkansas about 3,000 birds. However, he did not dare to declare that the mystery has been solved. According Laboratory will continue to try to examine samples of the carcass to look for other causes.
This explanation seems quite reasonable. However, a similar event occurred again a few days later and this incident does not seem to fit with the theory of fireworks.
On January 3, yesterday, about 500 dead birds found on the streets of Louisiana. Most birds that die are the types of Blackbird and starling bird. If these birds died on January 3, 2011, whether it is possible they were surprised by the sound of fireworks new year?
As Karen said, this mystery has not been fully resolved. It is true, the cause of death was unknown, but the murder weapon has not been found.
In addition to Louisiana, another incident occurred again. After 100 000 Drum Fish fish found dead in a river in Arkansas, this time dozens of fish found dead in large numbers diChesapeake Bay, Maryland, on January 4, 2011. Some people estimate the amount of fish that died tens of thousands. However, based on reports the Baltimore Sun, Maryland Department of Environment estimates the number of dead around 2 million fish.
In addition, in Brazil, more than 15 tons of fish found dead in Parana coast since Thursday 30 December 2010. Some fishermen even estimate the number of dead fish to reach up to 100 tons. This amount is far greater than the estimated number of Drum Fish that died in Arkansas.
Fish that died in the Chesapeake Bay mostly come from the type Menhayden, Spot danCroakers. While in Brazil, mostly from sardines, Croaker and Catfish. The Brazilian government has not released an official statement about the cause of death of these fish.
While interpreters Talk of the Maryland Department of Environment (MDE) stated that fish in the Chesapeake Bay may be off due to stress with cold water.
They also cite the same event in 1976 which killed around 15 million fish. In December, the water temperature in Chesapeake Bay was able to go down to 2 degrees Celsius. A similar explanation is given for the death of 100 000 Drum Fish in Arkansas. Dr. Andrew Goodwin of the University of Arkansas said that the death of fish in large quantities are quite common. According to environmental changes - such as a drastic fluctuation between hot and cold weather may have made the fish was shocked and died. He believes that cases of death of the birds and fish in Arkansas are not related at all. "My first impression after seeing only one type of fish that died was related to environmental influences and not related to the poison. The possibility of influencing it is the change in temperature. We experience weather turns cold and hot." However, this explanation still does not answer a mystery.
For example in the case of the Chesapeake Bay. Generally, during the month of December, the fish in the region will avoid the cold water by swimming to the place where the water is warmer. This time, for some reason the fish do not do that.
So, what actually happens?
Whether these animals are worried about their future in 2011, so do the mass suicide?
