How about this strange noises being heard around the world for about a decade and nobody has a solid explanation. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/trave ... ation.html


Some of them have a similarity to the strange noises heard by Apollo 10 Astronauts?

Also brings to mind the Whale Probe sound from Star Trek: The Voyage Home.

After four years, why are more feet washing ashore in British Columbia?

Since 2007, 12 human feet clad in running shoes have been found on the shores of British Columbia, including two that have turned up in February


I think this fits rather nicely under the category, "Strange and Ominous," don't you?

Today they found 13 dead bald eagles in a field on Marylands eastern shore.

No physical trauma, probably some kind of poision. Maybe someone was trying to kill off buzzards and vultures?

I find it heart breaking. I love to watch the eagles.

There have been a bunch of bird, fish and animal die offs that I've seen reports of recently. But I haven't seen a study to put them is some kind of perspective. What is the average level of such things in history? I certainly don't know. Whatever their cause, they are indeed heartbreaking.

We get big eagle die offs here from 2-4D related poisoning. Farmers put baits out for wild dogs, eagles find the incapacitated dogs,

For bald eagles this is extreamly rare or unprecidented in that area.

I had never seen a bald eagle until less than 10 years ago. Now they are quite common here. They are just restoring their range due to DDT poisioning.

umm, we have a weather forecast for NY in the mid 60's for Tuesday and Wednesday, when the average highs for this time of year are mid 40's.

I was waking through one of the metroparks yesterday when it was 74 F here and someone commented they couldn't believe March was like this. I pointed out that March 2012 we broke hundreds of records day after day all over North America. You would think people could remember experiences just 4 years ago but, I guess not?

Funny, my neighbor was just reminding me of the unusually warm spring here in 2004. But records were broken all across the midwest this week. I decided to hold off a few more days before planting some snow peas, but I could easily have started putting them in a couple days ago. IIRC, I planted some on March 1 in 2004 and some of those did eventually come up.

Maybe people are not remembering past times or records because constantly new records are being broken.

I often can't remember what I had for breakfast. Fortunately, I'm much better at observing trends. :-D
