Dead birds and fish could be linked to Magnetic North Pole

Dead Fish, Birds Fall From Sky

In the wake of recent bird and fish kills around the world, scientists say the cause of the seemingly bizarre incidents could be linked to activity of the Magnetic North Pole.

As of Friday, Jan. 7, millions of fish and crabs have washed-up in the United States, Brazil, England and New Zealand.

Thousands of dead birds have fallen out of the sky in Italy, Sweden and at least three states.

Experts haven’t pinpointed an exact cause of the kills, however, a score of theories has been presented. If the Magnetic North Pole is to blame, it could explain the phenomenon and put an end to speculation that aliens have landed, the end of the world is upon us, and that the government is conducting secret tests in the waters and skies.

According to experts, a gigantic magnetic field, known as the Magnetic North Pole, has been rapidly moving toward Russia at about 25, or more, miles per year. Some scientists claim that the pole is currently in a stage where it is flipping.

The pole's shift has been known to cause birds to become confused, disrupting their normal flight patterns and instinctive behaviors. This would mean birds would fly into weather patterns they would normally avoid, migrate to unusual places or simply fly into structures such as power lines, buildings and trees, where they are killed in large numbers.

The Magnetic North Pole could also cause fish to mistakenly swim into waters too cold to survive in, where they die in mass quantities.

The Magnetic North Pole can also cause disruption in normal airline activities. Most recently, the Tampa International Airport was forced to close a major runway to change taxiway signage so it accommodates movement of the pole.

Earlier this week, the airport was ordered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to re-designated at least one runway from 18R/36L to 19R/1L on its aviation charts.

The numeric designations pertain to the alignment along the 180-degree approach from the north of the taxiway and the 360-degree approach directly south.

Without the changes, planes could approach the airport incorrectly and be pulled away from the runway.

    I believe that the whole planet earth has tilted as we almost has a shiva moon in Sweeden now - we have not hade such a bowle shaped new moon before. We have had vertical new moons

  • Charmian Wilcox 1 year ago

    Yes, and what about the reports of the birds inner organs all turned to liquid.................this is most strange!

  • James 1 year ago

    Makes sense, but I'm still not sold...

  • Cindi 1 year ago

    This makes more sense to me then any other explanation that has been gave, I guess when the pole completely shifts then people will believe this is what is happening to this great planet we live on.
    Even though there is scientific proof of this.

    Makes more sense to me than the "fireworks scared the birds" story.

  • Steve 1 year ago

    Makes sense, but if we experience a pole shift...we are all going to die. Harvard grads have proven that pole shifts occurred 3600 years ago.

    Pst... We're all going to die anyway.
    Maybe if we all do it at the same time, we don't even have to pay our taxes!

  • Adrian 1 year ago

    Nice way of looking at it Trillian. If this is indeed happening there will be nothing we can do to stop it. It would be phenomenal to be the chosen generation that sees the world come to a screeching halt. A sad and scary thought of course but we tend to forget that the world is much bigger than you and i and her and him.

    Just curiouse if the possibilty has been considered that last years oil spill may have had a certain amount of impact with gradual effects on these animals and the way they're currently dropping or how about the idea with the release of all that oil emptying out of our earth throwing things a little off balance.....just a little strange the current question revolves around the behavior of our fish and birds both active around our ocean waters without the possibililty the oil spill being considered. I'm no scientist but sometimes the answer can lay in the most obviouse of places.

  • camouflage 1 year ago

    Makes sense but who are the experts you were referring to?

  • Tam 1 year ago

    If this question was for me......the experts would be those responsible for finding out why, now we have seals coming to thier death in Labrador, It's just a little odd that if magnetic north was responsible why only our birds and ocean wildlife and ironically enough only 6 months after the BP spill the change in magnetic north would create a gradual noticable change in animals including land animals increasing in death and misbehavior over time in years this is living things dropping dead by the 100's of thousands mainly our ocean water animals & again 6 months after BP a slow impact on those that have ingested the infected possibly....my next question magnetic north eh,...curiouse if anyone living near ocean waters noticed any drastic changes in the time their tide comes in.

    doesnt explain blue substance on the beaks of the dove`s which fell down in Italy

  • silent 1 year ago

    how long would it take the poles to switch completely at 30 miles per year? and what are the long-lasting effects if this were done?

  • LettuceThink 1 year ago

    Why were the guys in hazmat suits in Arkansas? Did they know something we don't know?

  • Anonymous 1 year ago

    HOW ABOUT THE IDEA THAT RADIATION FROM THE HAARP
    PROJECT MIGHT HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BIRDS?

  • Anonymous 1 year ago

    wow, i guess you can say i am almost over whelmed at the different theories of what could be the reason

  • james hatfield 2 months ago

    this makes no sense if the poles where to change wouldnt are seasons be backwards..? for usa summer we be winnter and winter would we summer and spring we be fall and fall would be spring ass-backwards right?
