Arkansas game officials probe mystery of falling birds

Arkansas game officials hope testing scheduled to begin Monday will solve the mystery of why up to 5,000 birds fell from the sky just before midnight New Year's Eve.

The birds - most of which were dead - were red-winged blackbirds and starlings, and they were found within a one-mile area of Beebe, about 40 miles northeast of Little Rock, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said. Birds fell over about a one-mile area, the commission said in a statement.

As of Saturday, between 4,000 and 5,000 birds had been found dead, the commission's Keith Stephens said.

    Its all about the gov. testing their weather manipulator called HAARP. Its a race against time and superiority to be number one in weather manipulation. Cmon Man 5000 birds diagnosed with the scares? Please, does Arkansas think we are that stupid to believe that so many birds died so abruptly due to fear. Fear of the New Years celebration or was it rain or hail? Cmon Arkansas you can do better than that!
