2000 Blackbirds simply fall out of the sky dead
For a second New Years eve in a row, nearly 2000 blackbirds have fallen from the skies over Beebe, Arkansas. The TV station KATV showed a large radar image of the birds just before midnight on the 31st December 2011. Fireworks may be to blame for this unique phenomenon, although some people in Arkansas seem to disagree. You can read more about this by visiting either of these links:
