Twitter users helped identify a mysterious blob on weather radar

When the National Weather Service calls, Twitter answers.

The BBC reported Friday that on October 3 the National Weather Service (NWS) spotted what it believed to be a 70-mile-wide swarm of birds on its Doppler radar over the Denver area. 

Since they couldn’t identify the specific animal mucking up their bird’s eye view of the weather, the NWS turned to avian ally Twitter for help identifying the creatures.
