In this article, I will try to connect the phenomenon of the instant death of birds with another phenomenon - anomalous zones, called "gravity hills". In a number of places on the planet, a curious illusion is observed - cars at neutral speed begin to move uphill.
This effect is trying to explain the "optical illusion", which contributes to the specific surrounding landscape. This version is refuted in a simple way. If in such an anomalous zone you look strictly from above at any plumb line, then it will certainly seem to you that the thread does not descend vertically, as if some kind of force deflects the load to the side. When your attention is turned down, the features of the landscape will not fall into your field of vision, and they will not be able to affect your feelings in any way. At the same time, technical devices do not detect an anomaly. It can be assumed that in such abnormal zones there is a specific failure in the work of our vestibular apparatus.
It has long been noticed that a certain orderliness is observed in the location of geopathic zones. I took the coordinates of the discovered gravity hills from the Wikipedia article and made marks in Google Earth. There are interesting patterns in their arrangement. There is no doubt that most of these places have not yet been discovered. And naturally, they are more often noticed in countries where the road network is more developed. From this point of view, it is not surprising that the largest number of anomalies was found in Western Europe and the USA. I propose to make a small "anomalous" trip.
On the border of the Czech Republic and Poland, anomalies are located along the ridge of the Izersky Mountains:
Ring structure on the border of the states of Pennsylvania and New York:
The anomalies form a semicircle along the San Andreas Fault, centered on Salt Lake City:
The anomalies form an arc at almost equal intervals in the Lake Huron region:
Three anomalies in Alabama on the same line at almost equal intervals:
Four anomalies in Texas, and there may be a fifth in between:
As you can see, there is reason to doubt the version that gravity hills are just an illusion. It is natural to assume that such abnormal zones can affect the vestibular apparatus not only in humans. Cases of instantaneous death of bird flocks have not received an unambiguous explanation. In most cases, the presence of certain toxins was found in the carcasses of dead birds, but some cases received no explanation at all.
An analysis of the data on these cases leads to the following conclusions:
1. Cases of falling are sometimes repeated in the same place (for example, in the town of Beeb, which is located 65 km from the capital of Arkansas - the city of Little Rock).
2. In case of poisoning, the dose of intoxication cannot be the same for all birds so that the poison acts simultaneously on the entire flock. And, also, the metabolic rate in young and old birds is not the same. Thus, poisoning cannot in any way cause a simultaneous, literally in a few seconds, fall of the entire flock.
3. The specific cause of death of birds in all cases is the impact from a collision with an obstacle.
Based on these findings, it can be assumed that food poisoning could only be an indirect cause of the disorientation of the bird flock. I will give the following analogy from the life of people. Drunk drivers may not respond adequately to rapidly changing traffic conditions. This is one of the most common causes of fatal accidents.
If you have the opportunity to visit the place of instantaneous death of birds, then this version can be very easy to check. Let me remind you that in order to notice the apparent deviation of a plumb line, you need to look at it exactly from above.
