Rockets Red Glare? Like a Gorgon Stare?

I don't know what each of these incidents mean. Perhaps they have no meaning, and I have every inclination to accept that at value. Big cosmos, mostly unavailable to our senses, or the mechanical extension of them. Big planet, same rules apply. Total knowledge will elude us, I imagine, forever - because we lack the capacity not only to record every moment, at every location, but also the context for understanding each and every event, how they relate, and perhaps as importantly, how they do not.

Nor do I know if each of these incidents have any connection, one to the other.

But, I do find them creepy:

"The mystery over thousands of birds raining from the sky in America deepened today after hundreds more plunged to their deaths in different parts of the country.

Scientists said that New Year’s Eve fireworks might have been to blame for the 3,000 blackbirds that died in a small town in Arkansas.

But they were forced to order more tests last night after 500 birds plummeted to the ground 360 miles away in Louisiana on Monday and dozens more died in Kentucky.

And just a 100 miles away from the Arkansas mass bird kill, at least 83,000 dead and dying fish washed ashore - possibly as many as 100,000."

"Four bumblebee species once common across North America have suffered precipitous—and so far mysterious—declines, a new study shows.

Within the past 20 years abundances of the bee species Bombus occidentalis, B. affinis, B. pensylvanicus,B. terricola have plummeted by up to 96 percent. (Related: "Mystery Bee Disappearances Sweeping U.S.")"

I do know that "fireworks" just doesn't ring true. I've seen birds scatter from fireworks dozens of times. I've never seen them fall from the sky in the thousands during or immediately after.

But, I know very little.
