Mystery as shocking video shows huge flock of blackbirds suddenly dropping from the sky leaving dozens dead
A SHOCKING video shows the mysterious moment a huge flock of birds suddenly dropped from the sky leaving dozens dead.
The bizarre moment was caught on security footage in the northern Mexican city of Cuauhtémoc early in the morning of February 7.
Alejandra Herlinda Iglesias Gonzalez told Storyful that two of her relatives had witnessed the flock collide with the street suddenly.
When police were called, they found the moment on the family's security camera footage.
The moments leading up to the flock dramatically plunging toward the ground can not be seen.
Hundreds of birds suddenly hit the ground like a cloud of smoke with many remaining on the street while dozens more fly off.
As the footage continues, more birds slowly get up and fly away.
She said: "It was really traumatic. On the road, there were quite a few dead birds.
“Blood splattered everywhere. I saw a flash in the sky about an hour previously.
"It was like something out of a horror film. I think the cause of this is man-made, and people need to respect our wildlife."
The RSPB has not confirmed their cause of death - but say the birds may have been disturbed from their evening roost.
Hundreds of birds were also found dead on pavements after falling from the sky “like rain” in Spain late last year.
At the time, it was thought that the birds were probably electrocuted or had died of avian flu, however, both causes have now been ruled out by the investigating authorities - leaving locals baffled.
And after hundreds of dead birds were found in a cemetery in Bali after mysteriously falling en-masse from the sky.

A follow-up statement revealed pesticides were the cause.
