Rain of dead birds in Arkansas, Beebe? Explanations?

[gegyx]

What makes me lean towards the electromagnetic hypothesis is that it is a general phenomenon, and it is not only animals that suffer from it ...

An uplifting first page ...

+1 I see nothing "new" on this page ...

The figaro laid a beautiful article of intoxication, "I'm fine, everything is fine" I find:
http://www.lefigaro.fr/environnement/20 ... ieuses.php

"Not so mysterious", no problem but the article, except the psychological explanations / planetary and rapid media (explanations that I share is perhaps the only one and the right one?) contains nothing at all as scientific explanations...

Prefer that of AFP: http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/ar ... 63c9d7.421

WASHINGTON - The dramatic deaths of some 5.000 birds literally dropped from the sky on New Years Day in Arkansas (southern United States) aroused curiosity and speculation began to flourish after others were announced similar phenomena also affecting fish.

Within days, reports of the sudden death of massive numbers of birds and fish came from Sweden, Britain, Japan, Thailand and Brazil. Pigeons, jellyfish, snappers, jackdaw ... many species seem to have been hit.

Conspirators of the conspiracy theory, Cassandres of all stripes and religious extremists were quick to warn that the end of the world was near, and all kinds of hypotheses were raised.

Could it be astronauts testing a powerful sound weapon to ward off aliens? US Army tests on a weapon powered by satellite energy? Chemical aerosols, meteor showers, earthquakes activating the pollutants discharged into the ocean by the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico?

(...)

Compared to a normal week, what happened "is not that unusual," said Kristen Schuler of the National Wildlife Center of the American Geophysical Institute (USGS), who does not see the phenomenon " nothing apocalyptic ".

Gas degassing underwater (methane hydrates or other, CO2 style linked to an underwater volcanic eruption) is one of the most plausible explanations for the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle.

This would explain the disappearances as much for boats (loss of buoyancy) as for airplanes (the air loaded with gas becomes explosive, too neutral or too rich for the carburetion settings = "engine problems" see occupants who have not of O2).

But in the case of birds, I do not believe too much: the corpses would have been found on the coasts or closer to the gulf or driven back on the beaches if not eaten before .... right?

Beyond a few tens of km it must be well diluted ...

Beebe is 500 km from the coast...

When the Norwegian volcano with the unbearable name was eroding its dust, they gave the route traveled in a thousand km over all of Europe. These are not the same gas or dust compounds, which do not necessarily spread in a comparable way, but when the starting quantity is colossal the dilution to 500 km may not be enough to avoid the dangers.

In my previous message, I thought I had made myself understood by noticing that mental disorders seemed to affect all humans on earth, more and more spontaneously, when news was heard, mainly of misfortune.

We have a lot of sandy fallout coming from the Sahara.

But the miracle may have happened (by proving our parents, who were yelling at us), namely that the quails will fall to us soon, all roasted in the mouth ...

[Flytox]

Ha, Gegyx, that shit that we put on, with oiled quails and more With a small hint of Benzene or sulfurous hydrogen sauce .... mmmmhhhhhh!

[gegyx]

But no, foodie!

It's just cooked in the microwave, but in the sun and the great outdoors ...

[Christophe]

Rohh teases!

Flytox, I think it is much easier to transport dust over thousands of km than to maintain a gas at a dangerous concentration in the atmosphere over the same distance!

A bit off topic but here are some nice pictures of bird tracks (not necessarily dead): http://www.laboiteverte.fr/les-traces-l ... es-vitres/

It is not clear why the birds regularly collide with the panes, among the most popular theory there is the fact that the birds do not see the transparent glass but also that they would see their reflection in it and would seek to self- attack to defend their territory.

On the other hand, we know that these well-defined traces are left by a very fine powder which surrounds the young feathers of several species of birds to protect them during their growth.

Richard Heeks maintains a Flickr group where he collects all the photos of this strange phenomenon he finds.

Some biblical / angelic photos isnt-it



ps: for me the traces are due more to the fat than the birds used as water repellent ... right?

The chickadees in spring, nest in nooks, dark holes and seeking to enter the dark nooks of a room collide with the windows violently, only the few days when they start to seek such sheltered corners !!
Same for the chimneys with a lot of birds, green woodpeckers, or owls !!
