'We thought they were balloons or electric birds'

Damn. Now I want electric birds in my neighborhood.

St_Francis_P: Damn. Now I want electric birds in my neighborhood.

Now I'll have to call my dad and ask what he's been doing with his electric bird.

/he lives off exit 195

My middle school used electric birds to teach us the dangers of electricity. A little wooden bird with a light bulb inside, perched on a wire, touched another little wooden bird on a different wire and lit up. Imagine if that had been a fifth grader instead of a bird. He would have been glowing bright white with beams of light coming out of his eyes. It would have been so cool.

St_Francis_P: electric birds

They were blue canarys one note spelled L-I-T-E.

It's aliens just making the trip down to Earth for the Obama/Bush rundown.

They have to explain where they were during the Roswell incident.

Do catroids dream of electric birds?

"There's a uh, big machine in the sky, some kind of, I dunno, electric bird, coming straight at us."

I'm torn between deciding if this is a bad journalist trying to write a compelling mystery story about night-flying kites or if it was a well-written hook for a larger piece hacked into nothing by an ambitious editor.

Either way, the story could have been summarized in a single paragraph the way it's written.

I want to believe!

Definitely a street light.

"Mysterious lights near Perrysburg, OH baffle some people. After further investigation, it is discovered that is it definitely not a street light"

This is when I knew it was a streetlight.

"We thought they were balloons or electric birds.
I can tell you for a fact that Ohio has no electric birds.
We do have lots of streetlights.

Electric birds? Meh, I'll stick with nuclear powered birds, thank you very much. Much better than those steam powered ones we used to have when I was a kid.

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

LOL

it looks like one of those Gigawatt streetlights.

Na, I want a shoehorn.

Had to be swamp gas from a weather balloon trapped in a thermal pocket that reflected the light from Venus.

failtoreadthearticlowned!

it's a weather balloon and/or swamp gas

kites are for conspiracy theorists!

Kite with light on it = "electric bird" in Ohio?

Somehow, I'm not surprised...

I want to rock down to electric avenue, and then I'll take you higher.

Swamp ass. (comes from a night of drinking bad beer and really spicy food)

Are you sure?

Those lights are from Obama who's coming to spread the wealth. Lock your doors.

"Electric birds". They thought they might be electric birds, cause, you know, they're so common around Kalamazoo....

Redneck...don't know what it is so SHOOT IT...nice

There seems to be an absence of a certain electric ornithological piece. Mass-awareness of certain electric avian variety.

/electric bird is the word
//bird bird bird

Came for pictures of the streetlight.


/leaving disappointed

I came for the "Sniper jaysus" picture
/also disapointed

I saw these last night, they're pretty cool. I think sometimes they also run christmas lights all the way up the strings.

thalidomide new and improved: I saw these last night, they're pretty cool. I think sometimes they also run christmas lights all the way up the strings.

Sorry, I'm a retard. From the picture, it looked like they just had lights on the ENDS of the strings. I didn't notice the string of, uhm, christmas lights.

that's what I saw, exactly, last night. Upon further examination of the picture, that's exactly the same thing.

I'm retarded.

Between electric birds and deep crows humans are farked!

From the article: Many stay up in the air on their own while others are flown by the professionals.

I have no clue what that means.
