Dead Blackbirds Fall from Sky in Arkansas by the Thousands
Thousands of blackbirds fell from the sky over the Arkansas town of Beebe just before midnight on New Year’s Eve, leaving people in the area scratching their heads and speculating about the possible cause: a lightning strike? Aliens? A secret government project? We’re joined by Keith Stevens, of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, which is investigating the incident.
