Bound, Mutilated Cows Washing Ashore in Sweden Baffle Authorities 1-8-14

Mutilated cow carcasses litter Swedish coast

     On Tuesday, police launched an investigation into the origin and deaths of five dead cows that washed ashore during the past week.

"This is a highly unusual case," Jimmy Modén, spokesman for the Skåne Police Department, told The Local. "The first report came on New Year’s Eve, and then another on January 4th, and then a third cow was reported on the 5th. Yesterday we received a call about yet another."

The first cow was found in Gislöv harbour, and since then bodies have washed up in Smygehamn, Beddingestrand, and Falsterbo, stretching over 56 kilometres of the southern Swedish coast.

"I was out looking for amber stones on Falsterbo beach when I saw that there was a dead cow there," Mikael Lönnström told newspaper Expressen. "It looked very fresh. The stomach looked a little swollen. The whole thing was very strange."

Several of the cows had their feet bound, indicating that the animals were dumped and didn't wade into the water. The question is if they were dead before being thrown into the water. Dumping slaughter waste in water is illegal, and depending on how the cows died an owner may also be charged with animal cruelty. . . .

UFO Sightings: Sweden Sees Its Skies Lit Up On New Year’s Day

UFO Sightings: Sweden Sees Its Skies Lit Up On New Year’s Day

     UFO sightings in Sweden lit up New Year’s Day, causing the alien hunters to investigate.

As previously reported by The Inquisitr, many reported UFO sightings in California in the same time frame although the FAA didn’t see anything.

UFO Investigator Tobias Lindgren of the non-profit group UFO-Sweden claims UFO sightings are common during New Year’s:
“A lot of the reports during New Year are triggered by the Thai lanterns. Every year, I investigate between 50 and 60 sightings. I expect to have a lot to do this year, too. People think the lanterns are UFOs, but I recognize them immediately. Some people are very relieved when they find out."
UFO-Sweden claims their objective is to “turn the UFO subject into an established and respected field of research.”

Sweden’s UFO sightings probably should have lessened this year because the government implemented a new law regulating the release of hot air lanterns:
“Since November 1, Swedes no longer need a permit to launch the hot air born lanterns into the night sky. Anyone living within 100 metres of any of the main airports, however, must warn flight control they want to send the Khom Loy lanterns skywards.” . . .

Man Arrested for Trying To Shoot 'UFOs'

Shooting at UFO
By The Herald Sun
9-2-11

A SWEDISH man has been charged with firing gunshots into the night sky in what he told police was an attempt to thwart an alien invasion.

     The 23-year-old grabbed his pistol after becoming convinced UFOs were circling his apartment in Dalarna, central Sweden, reported The Local Sweden yesterday.

He leaned out of his window, fired off several live rounds and succeeded in scaring off the extra-terrestrial aggressors - or so his story went.

In reality, he merely succeeded in terrifying his girlfriend and landing himself under arrest. . . .

     TANNER, AL (WAFF) – As drivers whiz by the Huntsville-Browns Ferry Road exit on I-65 North, specks of black in the stark white snow are pretty hard to miss.

Upon a closer look, you'll see that there are scores of dead black birds, about 300 of them.

Wildlife biologist Bill Gates of the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge said they're grackles, a native black bird.

DYING BIRD PHENOMENON | VIDEO: Add Sullivan, Missouri To The List of States Reporting Dead Birds Dropping From the Sky in Large Numbers

     Sulllivan, Mo. (KTVI-FOX2now.com) —
Dozens of dead birds are discovered near Sullivan, Missouri about an hour southwest of St. Louis. People in and around Sullivan are calling the whole thing a little weird. The scene is just east of Sullivan along the I-44 south service road at Winsel Creek. The Missouri Department of Conservation is looking into the situation.

It was discovered on Monday.

Experts there and with the World Bird Sanctuary in Valley Park say the dead birds are Starlings. Starlings are among the dead birds that have been found in several other states recently.

It started new years when thousands of Red Winged Blackbirds were found dead in Arkansas.

The reason why all of this is happening is still unclear but a spokesperson with Missouri Department of Conservation does have some theories.

     GEYSERVILLE, Calif. -- California wildlife officials are trying to figure out what caused the death of more than 100 birds found clustered together just off Highway 101.

The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports that California Highway Patrol officers found the dead birds near the roadway on Saturday and called in the state Department of Fish and Game to investigate.

The officers who found the birds described them as small with brown and black feathers. They were intact and had not been shot.

The reports come as other, larger bird deaths have been reported in Arkansas, Louisiana and other states.

Sonoma County mystery: What killed 100 birds near Geyserville?

     While scientists and specialists are investigating why massive numbers of birds have dropped dead from the sky elsewhere in the country, Sonoma County now has its own bird deaths mystery to solve, reported the CHP.

More than 100 birds were found dead Saturday afternoon clustered on the ground off of Highway 101, south of Geyserville, Officer Jon Sloat reported Monday.

Officers responded to Independence Lane at about 2:30 p.m. Saturday and found dozens of birds dead on and around the roadway.

The California Department of Fish and Game was notified and a local warden responded. He took several of the birds away to be identified and tested by a biologist, Sloat said.

The birds all appeared to be the same type, small with feathers in brown and black, according to photos taken by officers.

The birds hadn't been shot and most were intact, officers reported.

What caused the deaths wasn't clear Saturday.

Immediate attempts to reach Fish and Game were not successful.

DYING BIRD PHENOMENON | X-Files: Dead Birds, Dead Fish: What Does it Mean?

     No, this didn't happen in Sacramento, but it could happen, read on:

It starts off in Arkansas on New Year's Eve. Birds fall from the sky, there is talk, there are rumors. Just over the horizon, something is brewing, something ominous. There is chatter on Facebook. What does this all mean?

Stories from reliable newspapers tell us that the birds seemed to hit an invisible wall, because the birds displayed hemorrhaging and blunt force trauma. Could it be that the birds hit a cloaked UFO that was traveling from Arkansas to Louisiana and back up to Kentucky? Or is the answer much more mundane, that the blunt force trauma is from hitting the ground? I, for one like the cloak UFO theory, it just sounds more intriguing.

I turn on CNN News and HLN News, the talk of dead birds and dead fish is all over the news. Theories abound, the birds that died in Italy may have been poisoned. Birds on the East Coast may have died because of the cold weather. Other possible theories are: hypoxia, disorientation, hail, lightning and powerlines, sudden up wind drafts, fireworks that may have caused this avian and aquatic carnage.

Conspiracy theorists salivate to the idea that possibly HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) was the cause of this madness. Checking the blogs, people that were experiencing the 11:11 phenomenon are now living a life of normalcy, they do not see 11:11 wherever they go. Theorists believe that the reason they stopped experiencing the 11:11 phenomenon is because 11:11 is here...January 1, 2011 and to usher in this new age of the apocalypse, it is raining down birds and the waters spew dead fish.

Biblical prophesy says:

DYING BIRD PHENOMENON | And Still More Dead Birds -- Hundreds Line Texas Highway

Highway 155 Bridge at Lake O' the Pines

     The list of incidents of sudden deaths of large numbers of birds continues -- this time in Texas. Like all the other dead bird populations reported thus far -- Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Sweden --the dead
birds found Wednesday along a stretch of Highway 155 at a bridge at Lake O' The Pines were dark in color -- gray coots, to be precise. But unlike the massive dead bird fall in Arkansas and Louisiana -- and even in Sweden -- experts in Texas were quick to attempt an explanation of the event, blaming the roughly 200 deaths on the birds being hit by passing vehicles.

"People see some birds on the road maybe more than usual people get a little bit nervous and say wow maybe we've got something going on here," Charlie Muller, a Texas parks and wildlife biologist, told KLTV of East Texas.

Game wardens explain that the dead birds resulted from a fairly large population of American coots, or mud-hens, being startled by passing traffic or by the horn from a boat. Aloft and disoriented in the night, the birds, which were seen in large numbers on the bridge prior to all the dead birds being found, might have been flying as a group. Wardens say that the coots are easily startled and often fly low over the bridge. As they passed the bridge in their flight or were preparing to land, they were hit by passing vehicular traffic on the bridge.

It is the simplest answer to the question of how so many may have died so quickly.

Swedish Association Opens 'World's Largest' UFO Archive

Clas Svahn at UFO Sweden
By news@thelocal.se

     The world's largest UFO archive, with over 18,000 Swedish reports, pictures and foreign reports over mysterious happenings was opened to the general public in Norrköping in eastern Sweden on Sunday.

"There was a great interest," said Clas Svahn at UFO Sweden.

A Swedish pilot in a Draken plane was flying over Småland in a training exercise in the 1970s. He received the order to break the exercise and fly towards an unidentified object lying still on the water.

As he approached the object suddenly shoots straight up - and the pilot takes up the chase. Despite full speed the pilot soon loses the object and it is never identified.

The event which confounded the pilot, is just one of the reports recorded in the world's largest UFO archive in Norrköping in southern Sweden. It is one of up to 1,000 reports worth taking a closer look at, according to Clas Svahn.

The Swedish UFO association held a series of lectures on Saturday in connection with the temporary opening of the archive.

"175 came to listen and there was a great interest. There were more than we have seen in recent years and there was a serious interest. We are very happy," he said.

There were then around 70 people in Norrköping for the opening of the archive on Sunday.

The archive is now closed once more, as the association works on a voluntary basis and does not have the time to do more than show the archive to, for example, researchers.

"One can come and have a look but in that case you have to arrange an appointment."

In response to the question over whether he believes in the existence of UFOs, Svahn answered:

"I am completely convinced that there is life in space. If life can exist here then it can exist elsewhere. But can they travel here? There is no conclusive evidence, but I do not want to answer for certain. There are mysterious phenomena that we can not identify, and they are not only optical illusions," Clas Svahn said.
