When thousands of blackbirds began falling from the sky in Beebe, Arkansas, late on Dec. 31, 2010, most experts dismissed the event as a random occurrence. Wildlife officials blamed the sudden death of thousands of red-winged blackbirds on fireworks set off by local New Year's Eve revelers. But NewsChannel5 Chief Meteorologist Mark Johnson wasn't quite convinced.

"I wanted to also explain the likely cause of each of these events in the blog," Johnson added. "Every one of them had a very logical explanation, except for Beebe, Arkansas." So, he started to dig deeper. Johnson began to examine the Doppler radar images from Beebe, Ark., at the time of the event. The flying birds are easily seen in the two-dimensional imagery. But that's all. Johnson then began to examine the 3D images of the atmosphere over Beebe, Ark., and discovered something interesting. "There it was. This huge plume of turbulence over the Beebe birds just as they began their frenzied flight," he said.

The turbulence appears above the birds between about 7,000 and 12,000 feet. Johnson realized there are only a few possible explanations for this phenomena. Birds don't fly that high, and he quickly ruled out military action, a sonic boom, meteor shower or alien invasion. "Something in the atmosphere, something mysterious, occurred over Beebe Arkansas that night," asserted Johnson. "And I believe it was part of what caused those birds to fly and then die."

I actually sent Mark Johnson, the meteorologist you quoted above, an email about this die-off and the many others taking place. His explanations were very scientific and made sense. I didn't buy a word of what he said, of course.

Good find and explanation, but I'm still leaning more towards believing the birds flew into a cloaked UFO.
I'm still waiting to find out how atmospheric phenomenon can kill fish though.

Mass deaths continue to this day but are not being reported beyond the local level. Unfortunately animals don't have pockets so there is no profit in reporting on this type of phenomenon. I believe the last "official" statement said the specimens were being sent to a lab for analysis, whatever they found was never released or if it was nobody reported it.
The one thing all the bird deaths had in common was massive internal injuries, all the fish had "lack of oxygen" in common. Very disturbing.
