Although, at the time of this writing, there hasn’t been any additional wildlife deaths reported, the internet is still buzzing with possible theories. No matter what official explanations are given, it is no doubt that blackbirds raining from the sky and dead fish layering beaches in amounts measured by tons is cause for concern. Never one to take an explanation without questioning it, I have been pouring over various “conspiracy” theories on the internet. They all seem pretty plausible to me. And I am not the only one. Even Venezuela’s President, Hugo Chavez, reportedly is not buying the explanations that have been offered to us. To recap, in case you have been disconnected for about a week, there have been mass deaths reported in the bird and marine life community on a global scale. The first instance occurred in Arkansas where nearly 100,000 drum fish washed up along a 17 mile stretch of the Arkansas River last week. Local experts could not recall a time when so many fish died at one time and because it was confined to just one species, disease was blamed. A day later, only 100 miles away, black birds fell from the sky just before midnight on New Year’s Eve. Up to 5,000 birds fell in a relatively small area, no more than 800 yards wide, terrifying residents and turning some yards completely black. Residents fled for shelter as the thousands of birds thudded onto roofs, cars, and the ground. One woman was forced to use her umbrella to protect herself from the falling birds. A day later, residents became more concerned as government workers, donning white protective suits and masks, arrived to clean up the carcasses.
The official explanation has been that the New Year’s Eve fireworks caused the sleeping birds to go into a mass panic and fly into each other and objects. Not all are buying it though. Fireworks are set off several times a year in communities all across the world. Why doesn’t this happen more frequently? Preliminary lab tests on these birds concluded they had died from ‘multiple blunt force trauma’, implying that they had flown into something. Their stomachs were empty, ruling out poison. The United States Geological Survey states that it knows of 16 cases over the past 20 years of large number of blackbirds dying at once. That is not a very high percentage suggesting that all the concern is well warranted.
After these remarkable instances, cases of suspicious mass deaths began to emerge at a rapid pace. Only 300 miles away in Louisiana, 500 birds were found dead. They showed signs of internal injuries and blood clots and the official explanation was that they all flew into power lines. Several hundred birds were found dead in the western part of Kentucky. Two million fish were found dead in the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. Officials there blame the sudden drop in temperature. Thousands of fish were found dead in a creek in Florida, an area that has not seen cold temperatures for about a week. Thousands of doves were found dead in Italy, dozens of birds died in Sweden; millions of dead fish, crabs, lobsters, and other marine life have washed up on shores in Brazil, England, and New Zealand. Scientists do not believe that these cases are linked. WHAT?! That seems far-fetched. Is it any wonder than everyone is developing a theory? And most are pretty ominous, suggesting that end times are near or that the government is using chemicals on us.
James Manning, a controversial pastor in Harlem, New York, has dubbed the animal deaths ‘Global Katrina 2’ in reference to the New Orleans hurricane, and blamed ¬‘biological warfare’. He’s certain ‘we are in the period referred to as the Tribulation’, and that the Bible makes clear this ¬pre-Apocalypse period will be about environmental catastrophe rather than war. Others point to the Mayan calendar which runs out in 2012 to suggest that the massive wildlife deaths are an indicator that the end is near. Film buffs only have to look at some of Hollywood’s blockbusters to see what the animal deaths mean. In the movie, “Signs,” birds were seen flying into invisible UFO’s that were hovering right above cities. In another movie, “The Core,” birds started falling out of the sky because the earth’s magnetic core, which they use to navigate, has shifted. Others point to sinister plots by the US government.
A program known as High Frequency Active Auroral Research ¬Program, or HAARP, which ¬conducts research into the defense implications of ¬harnessing the upper atmosphere’s ionosphere, is allegedly what President Chavez, among others believe is to blame for the global crisis. Chemtrails, another popular conspiracy theory, has also been suggested. Chemtrails are aircraft vapor trails that consist of chemical agents being sprayed at high altitudes as part of a secret government program. Another theory is that the New Madrid Fault earthquake zone, an area covering much of the U.S. Midwest and south, including Arkansas and Louisiana, is coming to life.
Experts do agree on one thing. We will likely never know the real reason for the massive deaths found all over the world. It is interesting that bird behavior has been studied since the Roman times for clues to the future. Before you discount the crazy alternatives, remember that animals were acting strangely before the tsunami hit eastern Asia in 2004. Animals often know what is going on long before we do. The bird and fish deaths may be something natural – it may be nature serving us a warning that something big is on the way.
i think its safe to say, im a little freaked out.
Anyone considered the LONG lasting effects of DP’s major mistake? Oops, did I say DP? “We don’t just drill the earth, we DP it! I of-course meant BP. It’s possible, we just aren’t making the connection, as we don’t fully understand the effects of a massive (the largest ever) oil spill… All these conspiracy theories seem a bit far fetched to me. Surely there’s a better explanation, regardless of whether we understand it. I’ll almost guarantee 2012 will be yet another year. Reminds me of Y2K. Silly really. This planet has at least another 450 million years in it. While I won’t say that means humans will exist the entire remaining time, I’ll quote Jurassic Park. LIFE WILL FIND A WAY!
Maybe not THE largest ever, but certainly on that level, and ONE of the largest ever… If not the largest….
I think it might have something to do with the bomb that korea set off .i dont belive we seen the end of it .If you shoot a boob in the sky the wind can what ever they put in it along way. Lets hope that not it. let me know what you think. thank you.
Intriguing theory. One that at least has a scientific basis. I’d love to see more investigation into it!
The first instance happened in Rio Brazil, dead fish 2 tons Dec 30 2010
Once again, an area surrounding a MAJOR oil spill. Again, one of the largest ever! Surely an oil spill of that caliber must change the chemistry of surrounding areas in multiple ways. Likely for years.
On December 30th 2010 thousands of dead birds dropped out of the skies here in Beebe, AR. There’s still one in the parking lot for my apartment complex. I don’t really know whether to believe in science or religion when thinking about all these random deaths, but, I do know that I like the idea of staying prepared for the worst. If too many people lean toward the side of complete ignorance of the warnings of end times, then we’ll be totally unprepared as individuals. screw the government, I’m lookin’ out for number one. Family first ppl. Then worry about the next fellow. That’s how the government’s gonna look at it. -shrugs-
sorry, might be hard to follow what the hell i’m talking about, kind of just random thoughts thrown down on the page, but i’m too lazy to re-arrange them
I understand and I agree!
I think this has to do with a magnetic field or Gravitational effect on the planet that is disorienting the animals and causing stress to the point that they die.Even wether patterns have been acting wierd.
Another WONDERFUL theory in my opinion. Magnetism is certainly known to play a major role in the life of a bird. Although, if you look at the time frame in which our planet switches poles, we are not even close to due date. There’s also no evidence that a switching of poles has ANY effect regarding life on Earth. One could theorize, however, that animals relying on this magnetism for navigation could be majorly effected! Perhaps even becoming disoriented, and colliding with random objects.
So only vertebrates are dying. Most of these are smaller animals which share the ocean or the sky, not the land mass’s. Penguins also died in New zeland, they are classified as birds and also live in the ocean… The birds have blunt force trauma- i suppose i would too if i fell out of the sky. The birds were not eating, so perhaps they were feeling sick? But some were said to have blood clots, and i even heard their insides were “liquefied” . All this leads me to two possible conclusions. An extensive and or complex toxic buildup being distributed by both upper and lower ocean currents and ending up being dealt with by certain animals or someone ( or something in space) has a sonicator and is using high-frequency sound waves to liquefy and kill the poor animals~!! it could just be a certain part of the electromagnetic spectrum hitting earth and effecting them. We will figure it out. But its not the end of the world morons…
I hadn’t heard of an incident in New Zealand until now. While it makes my theory on the massive oil spill slightly less likely due to distance, it is still possible. It still seems to be a fairly centralized area of the globe. The toxins and chemical imbalances, which are surely caused by a large spill, could transfer to the South Pacific. Especially when studying oceanic currents. There has also been much talk about the seeming disappearance of said oil. It sounds like you have a somewhat similar basis. Nice thinking! I like your final mention of electromagnetic spectrum. Quite possible indeed! Definitely not the end of the earth. It’s funny how carried away people get with these “conspiracy theories” which comprise of NO scientific basis WHAT-SO-EVER!
pole shift is in the way
Or secret government chemical warfare.
Biblical rapture date May 21, 2011 and last day 10/21/11. This info is only from the Bible. It is a top google search. Vans and billboards are warning throughout the world. Many Biblical Christians believe this…..the church is also not the place to be at this time. Judgement starts at the house of God. There is still hope many are being saved during these last days. Pray for Mercy, read the Word. Only God can save you. Works do not get you to heaven. More info see family radio.com, ebiblefellowship.com, wecanknow.com etc. among a few. Folks we are almost there.
Matthew 25:13 – Watch therfore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
You can not predict the day and you have been deceived if you think you can.
Very well said! Even the Bible does not pronounce such a date. It almost implies that if you suspect the date, you’re simply wrong!
Camping has been doing this for ages. He’s out of his mind. I heard him give his rapture date in 1994 or around that time. Friend be very careful who you follow and remember to read the rest of the scriptures, not just the ones Camping isolates to support his doctrine. Read for yourself, alone. Let the Holy Spirit be your teacher. Hoping you’re not too far gone….
Well said!
These dates have consistently changed throughout history, therefor, rendering them inaccurate and useless. That’s simply my opinion. It’s a way to sell a product to the less educated. Scare them!
There is no date for rapture….Jesus doesn’t even know when…your statement is utterly false…and many biblical christians that believe there is a specific date are not biblical christians. You apparently don’t understand the word either. Shame on you for false statements….you better start reading and understanding.
Gary,
I understand what you are saying because I believed this at one time too….as did many otheres. Compare scripture with scripture to get the truth and the book has been opened to reveal new information with no additional words being added. Progressive Revelation in Daniel- For example, Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. And He said, Go thy way, Dainel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. If you read in Revelation…the seals are opened to reveal what? The time of the end so we are to warn others. We were not to be concerned with the time of the end during the church age but now that it is close God wants people to know. God says he is the same past, present and future. His people always knew before great destruction….Noah, Lot, Jonah etc.
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth his secret unto His servants the prophets.
God tells us in 1 Thess 5:2-6
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then suddenn destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. BUT YE , BRETHREN, ARE NOT IN DARKNESS, THAT THAT DAY SHOULD OVERTAKE YOU AS A THIEF. YE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT, AND THE CHILDREN OF THE DAY: WE ARE NOT OF THE NIGHT, NOR OF DARNESS. THEREFORE LET US NOT SLEEP, AS DO OTHERS; BUT LET US WATCH AND BE SOBER.
If you are a child of the light that day will not come as a surprise.
I don’t mean to discredit the Bible. It has a long history dating back thousands of years. Simply put, there is much to be learned from the Bible. However, this world or universe, has existed FAR longer. I’m sorry, but when you look at ALL the facts…. It doesn’t quite add up. To play devil’s advocate, one can surely say something must have created the “Big Bang”. Regardless, this is not the apocalypse. These scare tactics have been used longer then the Bible itself. These predictions are said to have originated long before Christ. 2800 BC to be exact. Again not saying that this to imply that God doesn’t exist, but simply stating the facts. ALL previous predictions have been incorrect, as I imagine this one to be as well.
regardless of any exlpanation or theory any of you have, none can deny the fact that something is in fact going on, if you choose to disregard that then you have no one to blame but yourselves when whatever is going to eventually happen, happens. In my opinion, everyone needs to mentally, emotionally, AND spiritually prepare themselves for the future in the event that something catastrophic occurs. Many theories include aliens, the biblical apocalypse that was prophesied, and the mayan calander among other things. Im not really a religious person but i do believe that something else is out there whatever that may be. Even though all religions want to protest their validity over every religion, in essence they all say the same things and hold the same principles/values. For instance the Noah and the Ark/ Great Flood story can be found in many religions just with different names. So are you to tell me that every religion and its founders simply fabricated the story for whatever purpose? It would be ignorant to believe that there is no purpose for all of this. All the different religions with their different names are merely a matter of interpretation. Call it what you want but The Truth is one, it just goes by many names. Find your truth
Jesus: “I am the way, the truth and the life; nobody comes to the Father except through me.” Truth has a name, and that name is Jesus. If you disagree, please see Jesus to discuss.
YES! This is the TRUTH!
I was raised in an atheist home, but glory be to God, Jesus SAVED me 15 months ago! I wasn’t in church, I wasn’t reading the Bible, but thank God, I never disbelieved and He saved me.
The LORD is soon to come! Believe and repent! Everything else in this world is pure VANITY. Seek the Lord.
God be with you
Global floods are not abnormal. Especially those planets containing HO, in ANY form. It’s simply a matter of time. I don’t doubt for a minute that it has happened on Earth. I will admit this is a theory, however, it seems more likely then not. Look at the many conspiracy theory’s today. How do you think they came about? People have an absolute need to try and understand and explain things they simply cannot. It’s human psyche at it’s best. I’m not stating this to discourage spiritual belief. It certainly has it’s place. Let’s just look at this objectively, from an aspect that we can actually grasp.
Tampa Bay Florida have been getting pummeled with Chemtrails now for the past 5 days, INCLUDING tonight still, now. How CAN NO ONE BE ADDRESSING THIS CRAP?!!!
I fully agree with you
It’s natural.
I have a feeling this has to do with the Switzerland atom smasher they’ve been using…we’ll see but for sure this is NOT the end of it…
HAARP was designed to preserve life by a God loving man. Satan knows it`s destructive potential. Why the HELL would the US government put it in the hands of our military. The military operates only to win wars. HAARP can end it all for all of us. A lot of theories for sure out there these days. Key word HAARP and see what Satan has his hands on. God bless!!
Why you ask Pault? Does Power, Control and Greed ring a bell? Seriously do you think “our” government cares one tiny iota about you? Not unless you’re a Rockefeller or one like them. I used to think the “military” were the good guys and most probably are, but HIGH UP maybe not so much.You believe all that, or try, until you see them flying over YOUR county and YOUR house for the past 8 days spewing chemicals on everyone and everything (including food, animals, soil and the air you breathe). I have taken over 400 pictures watching it all because I couldn’t and didn’t want to believe it myself and wish I had never seen any of it either. But as long as you keep your information coming from the TV news instead of SIMPLY LOOKING UP you one day may look up and it will be too late.
Where can I view those pictures? I’m honestly interested. I’ve seen lots on Google images. None from someone I can actually speak with.
Josh, are you blind, bud? Chemtrails are all over the world and the internet. If that doesn’t work…. look up.
Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is Gods plan to reconcile mankind BACK into communion with Him; the promised One, the Messiah, who is and was and is still to come, the Almighty!
Search your hearts, seek Christ and forgiveness. “As it is written there are none righteous, no not one”, “we all like sheep have gone astray, everyman to his own way”, “the wages for sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord”, the Word of God made flesh (John 1:14). He is Gods promise through the prophets, God in the flesh! Who so loved His world that He made the trip and paid the price! TRUE LOVE
I was miraculously SAVED 15 months ago, having been raised in an atheist’s home. God is REAL! And He LOVES you!
Repent and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, because Ezekiel chapter 7 is at hand!!!
God be with you <3
“Nature” isn’t doing it – WE ARE! (And by “we” I mean “our” government)
I live in the Tampa Bay Florida area and we have had aircraft spewing who knows what out the planes straight for the past 8 days,blocking the sunlight .I KNOW it sounds crazy but wait until they’re over your neighborhood and house. And what’s even crazier ifs that no one is addressing it – so even if it was something supposedly “useful” why is NO ONE addressing it? Because it’s NOT useful. So if people wonder why depression is going up and lack of vitamin D illnesses and “justifying” flu shots then maybe just LOOK UP once in a while.
Perhaps the government IS in fact testing. Aren’t they always? Do you doubt they employ the most competent scientists in existence? This is more conspiracy theory, and it simply can’t be proven. It’s far fetched theory, with no scientific backing. Contrails don’t necessarily mean anything. We’ve also seen one off the California coast. A questionable one at that. If you’re worried, stay in your home. As for me, I’m going to live my life. I seriously doubt the world will end! Our atmosphere is changing, as it periodically does. It’s really nothing new when you look back at time.
For a reference concening the birds and fishes dying:
“I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked: and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the Lord.” Zephaniah 1:3
For some news: Read the news about the Sun at projectaworldawareness.com
For a reference about the Sun:
“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;” Luke 21:25
The Bible simply need’s to adapt to the universe, as it clearly has in this passage. We are so small! I’m happy to see Christianity finally embracing science! I think it quite possible this very thing has happened on other planets. Possibly even in our own Solar System!
Google these words: Birds Poisoned by USDA. People are braindead.
Once again, there is no SOLID source or evidence. Just another conspiracy theory. A lot of idiots think they know what’s going on, simply by talking out their ass. It’s entirely possible, but what would they have to hide? Can you tell me that?
More importantly, can you back up why they would hide it with solid evidence and sources? If they did poison birds in one particular instance and admit to it, why wouldn’t they admit it in the following incidents? When I type what you’ve asked me into Google, all I see is another Conspiracy Theory! It seems to me, the person to take a single theory as explanation, is more brain dead(note; two words) then those who are actually thinking!
I find this particularly interesting. I have lived at my property for 14 years and felt it was magical place because we are always blessed with an abunance of insect species every fall and late fall. This year nothing. This year not one lady bug, we use to have houndreds on our house it was beautiful, kids loved it. Hornets use to fill my kitchen, ick I know, but nothing this year. The ones we loved the most where the Dragon flys. The big ones, beautiful and colorful. Every color you can imagine. Every fall for 14 years our property would swarm of them during their season. We could walk outside and put our hands out and they would land on them. Thousands of them for a few days. Nothing this year, not one!!!! Last: Our tree frogs that we would find outside our door, or on our windows. We loved looking at them thru the windows because we could see the little suckers on their feet!! NOT ONE this fall. None of these species this fall. Also, I live in a plit level ranch with my room downstairs, kinda underground. Woke up this summer in the middle of the night thought we were having a tremor, small earthquak. Never read anything about it in the papers. Very odd. Granma always told me watch what the insects tell you. Just saying…. In regards to this article: what’s the one common denominator with these birds and fish???? Birds flocking, migrating will touch down together and drink!! Just saying… Could it be possible small earth quakes could go unnoticed???? That would shift some things. Natural, can happen.. Would explain alot…
Very interesting indeed! There are SO many different theory’s that could explain it. I am a believer in the theory that our atmosphere is currently changing, as it periodically has in the past. This could result in many physical changes on Earth. Perhaps it’s simply a step towards furthering life and/or natural advancement. Some species die, some become stronger. That’s simply restating Darwinism. This takes thousands of years though. It doesn’t happen in a few generations. It’s not something we can really observe. I do, however, have concern in regards to the food chain. I’ll leave it at that, as I have not yet researched how much a few species dieing off have effected the food chain in the past. I speculate, it doesn’t really effect it as much as previously thought. Surely, there are still plenty of fish in the sea, and plenty of birds in the sky! Perhaps, and I’m going out on a limb here, there are even new Species to be discovered. You’re Grandma certainly had a point. For thousands of years, possibly billions, species have gone extinct, as well as come into existence. I leave this by saying, It’s always smart to be mindful of one’s surroundings!
RE: Josh.
For clearity purposes I am not leaning towards species dying off, just an odd change this year in there behavior to be noteful of. I had to wonder if there was something wrong with our property and why they would not come here or was this simple not a good breeding year. Then of course there’s the Why??? I will certainly be watching what happens next year.

All I can say is …… if you think it is nothing then think that way…..But if you belive it is some thing MUCH bigger belive it is some thing much BIGGER.
…..you non belivers should get down on your knees and pray.
I myself am ready and willing when the day comes to go home with my God.
He has a room for me all ready…..In my Fathers house there are many rooms.Only if you belive in my Father and I do and have all ways..
Dead fish washed up on the Alabama coast today March 26th.
