Is it the same kind of birds? Really can't tell from the translation.

I don't know the English name of the birds who died in Sweden, but they aren't the same as those in Arkansas. Related perhaps, I dunno.

I think we need an explanation from Adatise on this. Speaking of which, anyone heard from him?

Actually, I was expecting him to be the first to reply to this thread when I started it.

.

what about the simplest explanation? COLD

They have already concluded that they died from trauma, also if they died from cold this would've happened several times before.

I'm thinking in the line of shockwaves as well, but that would've been picked up by measuring equipment and radar/satellites wouldn't it? Considering that scientists are constantly measuring all kinds of activity on (and off) Earth.

This is so weird, but I know that if it doesn't happen again anytime soon, people will forget about it a few days from now.

What is scaring me about this is if it is magnetic - what if something is going on with the Earth's core or the magnetic field around it? We'd be royally screwed if that got messed up.

I think Ron explained that they are similar types of birds, but not all the same.

In Arkansas, they were all the same bird - red wing blackbird.

Don't birds have some sort of internal-compas? Wouldn't some sort of EMP (Natural or man-made) affect it?
Yes. But that guy doing the analysis (he's a bird expert) said the red winged blackbird is a type that roosts together in large flocks. If they were startled at night, they would have scattered and been so disturbed that they would have ran into things.

There is still that possibility of lightning, thunder (concussion waves), hail (all birds showed trauma), or the fireworks theory.

AR is Clinton's state therefore it's the Democrats fault.

It's possible but not probably - how come we've never heard about it before? Fireworks, Jan 1 2011 is hardly the first time we've ever used them and the other possibilities are very common occurrences.

IMO what happened is not a common occurrance or just the biggest coincidence of all times.

It's funny, my mother has recently bought a ranch in Mountain View, AR. I don't think it's too far away from where they found all the dead fish. When I get down there I'll investigate and find out about this sh...
