Arkansas: Sudden Bird Fall From The Sky

Arkansas residents saw a strange sight today in Arkansas as more than one thousand black birds fell from the sky around the same time, leaving multiple corpses lining the streets.

The lawns, roofs, and streets of the city are covered with the bodies of these black birds that seemingly fell right out of the sky for no reason whatsoever.


Dead birds are still being uncovered in and around the area and residents of Beebe about 40 miles northeast of Little Rock say that it looks like something out of a movie.

Thousands of dead fish and birds found in Arkansas

Just one day before some 5,000 blackbirds fell from the sky in Arkansas, piles of dead fish turned up on a nearby shore, though wildlife officials say it’s just a coincidence.

On Thursday, officials discovered between 80,000 to 100,000 dead drum fish along a 32 km stretch of the Arkansas River near Ozark.

Mark Oliver, chief of fisheries for the state’s Game and Fish Commission, said the fish probably died of disease. He insists there’s no connection between the fish deaths and the 5,000 blackbirds that fell dead from the sky on New Year’s Eve just 200 km away in the community of Beebe.

“We don’t see any possible way they’re related,” said Oliver. “It’s just a coincidence, but an interesting one.”

The birds started dropping at around 11:30 p.m., landing on cars and homes, lawns and roads.

The fish and bird deaths have prompted Christian media to quote Bible passages warning about the end times, while conspiracy theory websites tout it as evidence of UFOs. But the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission assures there’s a scientific explanation.
