The tranquillity of Jatinga, a scenic village nestling among the Borail Hills range, is shattered every night by a disturbing occurrence - the 'mass suicide' of hundreds of birds.

Locals have been witnessing the eerie phenomenon from September to November for the last couple of years. As the sun sets, hundreds of birds descend on the village and fly full speed towards buildings and trees, crashing to their deaths. The repeated episodes are confined to a 1.5 km strip of the village.

With lush greenery and plentiful freshwater, Jatinga, the headquarters of the Dima Hasao district, some eight kilometres from here, is a resting place for many migratory birds. Haflong is 350 km from Guwahati.

US: Bigfoot Caught On Video In Spokane

Spokane, Washington -- Hikers near Spokane posted a YouTube video Wednesday that supposedly shows Bigfoot walking nearby.

The (shaky) footage shows a dark figure walking through the woods, just in the frame of the shot (in the upper-right corner):


The user who shot the video, samantha13950, told the Pacific Northwest Inlander that she didn't want to be "involved in a news story," but did offer some details.

"...We were in downriver park where the big hill starts to flatten out down by the river," she told the Inlander. "The video is from my iphone. I was filming my friends slapping at ginormous mosquitoes and trying to get through some thick weeds."

The Return of the Jamming Gremlins? Pennsylvania, US: Mysterious Static Affects Fire Departments In Four Counties

Interference Affects Fire Departments In Westmoreland, Somerset, Indiana, Fayette Counties.

Emergency officials in several local counties have called the FCC for help after strange static started interfering with calls on Tuesday afternoon.

Dan Stevens from Westmoreland County Emergency Management said the frequency that Westmoreland, Somerset, Indiana and Fayette County EMS dispatchers has a constant static interference. Stevens said it's affecting the way fire departments are dispatched.

"Something is causing interference. We don't know whether it's a piece of equipment that has malfunctioned somewhere that is causing this or if it's someone maliciously doing this," Stevens said.

Comment: Last year, SOTT posted an article (Case of the US Garage Door Gremlins: San Antonio, Texas balky door openers tied to NSA) about the United States Department of Defense's new state-of-the-art communication system - Land Mobile Radio interfering or hijacking "civilian" frequencies for their unknown purposes and jamming people's garage doors in the process.

Pennsylvania's military bases were ones of the first to start using the system, causing more than 100 people to contact the local congressman, Republican Rep. Todd Platts, about the problem.

Now we hear about Pennsylvania Firefighters' EMS dispatchers having a strange static interference. And in our opinion, it wouldn't be too outrageous to assume that the source of the interference is of a similar origin.

And just in case enquiring minds want to know more, interestingly enough, Fire Departments of most of the affected counties have the same EMS frequency:
33.70000 - Fire Dispatch - Westmoreland County Fire (TRS)
33.70000 - Fire Dispatch - Somerset County Fire
33.70000 - Fire Dispatch - Indiana County Fire
155.19000 - Fire Dispatch - Fayette County Fire (TRS)
Another possibility, and considering all the recent exploding news where Pennsylvania also had its share, we may be dealing with manifestations of a different kind of "interfering" phenomena.

Stay tuned for updates.

"If there is a universal mind, must it be sane?" - Charles Fort
On the fateful evening of December 15th, 1967, the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant, West Virginia collapsed from structural failures during full rush hour traffic. The incident killed 46 people, many of whom were holiday shoppers; most of these people died trapped in their cars under the weight of the iron bridge beams, submerged in the icy December waters. The tragedy made national headlines and put the little town of Point Pleasant on the map and in the minds of many that holiday season.

While the collapsed bridge was certainly the climactic event for the residents of Point Pleasant that year, there were many preternatural events leading up to this. UFO sightings and other high strangeness were endemic across the Ohio River region that year. These sightings and stories were later documented by John Keel in his book The Mothman Prophecies.

1967 was a pivotal year for UFOs and related phenomena. Reports of UFO sightings poured in from all across the United States; others were reported as far away as South America and Russia (adding a new dimension to those who believed that UFOs were of Communist origins). The very first publication of an alien abduction case (the infamous Hill abduction) was presented in the book Interrupted Journey by John Fuller just a year prior to this. Men-In-Black (MIB) reports came into focus for the first time, along with cases of animal mutilation. Sightings of humanoid-type beings associated with UFOs were popping up all over the world.

Canada: Mysterious animal stalking British Columbia community

Residents of a small community in British Columbia have a mysterious killer in their midst and are taking steps to protect their pets, farm animals and small children.

An animal thought to be part timber wolf has been stalking Bowen Island, just off the coast of Vancouver, for about six months -- preying mainly on dogs and cats.

"Anyone who has family, has pets, and anyone who has seen it, seen the way it looks at you, knows that it's dangerous to have around," said island resident Stacey Powers.

Her husband John recently caught the animal on video, and saw it snatch a gosling out of a nearby pond.

The animal has "shown no fear of coming up close to the house," he said, "and obviously you don't want to have a concern that he's there and all of a sudden the kids are in his range." The family is keeping its pets indoors and young children nearby.
