Millions of dead birds, dead fish reported worldwide

It began on New Year’s Eve in Beebe Arkansas with the discovery of 5,000 blackbirds that had fallen from the sky dead. One day later, 100,000 fish suddenly died in the nearby Arkansas River. Forty-eight hours after the initial report of dead birds, 500 more, similar birds turned up dead in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, with dozens more dead in Gilbertsville, Kentucky. So far, none of the deaths have a solid scientific explanation.

Now reports are coming in from all over the world of millions more dead fish and dead birds.

In Brazil, ParanaOnline has reported 100 tons of dead catfish, croaker and sardines. In New Zealand hundreds of dead snapper have been found. And Swedish officials are reporting the deaths of dozens of birds. The Baltimore Sun is also reporting the sudden death of 2 million fish in the Chesapeake Bay.

Authorities have attempted to explain the massive numbers of dead birds and dead fish on natural occurrences, like fireworks and weather. However, conclusive scientific data is still elusive.

The sudden, worldwide death of millions of fish and thousands of birds has all occurred in less than one week.
