Basically, the U.S. was testing powerful nerve agents in the Utah desert. Herds of livestock would fall dead and flocks of birds would fall from the sky. It happened between 1968 and 1976, even after the U.S. signed international treaties banning the development and testing of those nerve agents. In 1998, they admitted that it was the likely cause after denying it for 30 years. They still claim they were accidents though.
The idea of mysterious animal deaths been used in films and stories that go on about about government conspiracies.
