Exploding Toads

Recent reports from Hamburg and Denmark concern an unusual and disturbing phenomenon – a toad explosion. In Altona, walkers witnessed gruesome scenes as thousands of toads swelled and exploded, their remains landing up to a meter away. However, experts have not found viruses or other pathogens in the water, and only speculate on possible causes, including the toads' defensive reflexes against predators. This phenomenon raises many questions, and its environmental consequences could be serious.

Dead toads from Altona

We rarely hear about phenomena in which animals are either the agents or victims. Recently, however, reports have emerged of a disturbing phenomenon that cannot be ignored.

Animal explosions are a phenomenon that until recently was considered science fiction. That was until April 26, 2005, when news agencies reported exploding toads in Hamburg.

Onet.pl: In Hamburg, a thousand toads mysteriously died when they swelled and exploded. This was observed by hikers near Altona Lake. According to them, the toads swelled, increasing their body volume threefold, and exploded loudly. Their remains were thrown as far as a meter.

One theory attempting to explain this phenomenon is that these are defensive reflexes of toads attacked by crows. As a precaution, Hamburg residents were asked to stay away from Altona Pond. As it turns out, German laboratories have ruled out the presence of any viral, bacterial, or fungal disease agent in the pond's water.

Moreover, similar phenomena occurred in Denmark, specifically in Laasby (Central Jutland).

In both cases, the toads exploded after landing on shore. Unlike in Germany, the events in Denmark occurred between 1 and 3 a.m. Again, no viruses or pesticides were detected.

As seen in photos shown by American television, the sight is gruesome – the toads have all their entrails ripped out except their hearts. Environmentalists and other experts expressed only helplessness and bewilderment at the phenomenon. Seagulls and crows couldn't be blamed for the "massacre" in Denmark, as they weren't seen that night.

Another strange phenomenon, observed this time in Italy, may have some connection to the exploding frogs. In January 2005, over 2,000 mercury thermometers exploded for unknown reasons in a pharmacy warehouse. Shortly thereafter, remote controls of all kinds—from televisions and radios to garages—failed in Aosta. The thermometers in question showed temperatures between 38 and 40 degrees Celsius. Shortly thereafter, internet users in Rome reported a sudden rise in temperature. For example, one thermometer initially showed 39.6 degrees Celsius, but then dropped to a mere 18 degrees Celsius.

Various theories have emerged here as well. One suggests that the thermometers' explosions may have been caused by a very strong electromagnetic field, while a very low-frequency signal may have been responsible for the pilots' strike. Where it came from? Scientists are investigating the matter. They determined there was no health risk—this news reassured the distraught residents of Aosta.

In Italy, the entire phenomenon could be explained by a beam of electromagnetic waves in the EHF range in Rome, or a VLF beam in Aosta. In the case of the frogs, the destructive factor could be ultrasonic or infrasound, or a beam of electromagnetic waves.

The phenomenon in question, undoubtedly having a detrimental impact on nature, may be a kind of demonstration of force . Who is the demonstrator? It seems it could be the result of testing new types of weapons operating from Earth orbit; or a side effect of the HAARP systems or the incredibly mysterious Russian ELLIPTON. The matter is very disturbing – yesterday thermometers, today frogs, and tomorrow...?
