Why did white storks disappear every year in Europe?

Until 1822, the sudden annual disappearance of white storks each fall had been a profound mystery to European bird-watchers. Aristotle thought the storks went into hibernation with the other disappearing avian species.
On May 21, 1822, evidence came to light which suggested a less extra-terrestrial, if no less wondrous, solution to the quandary of the disappearing birds.
A white stork was discovered with an 80 cm long Central African spear embedded in its neck. The stork had flown the entire migratory journey from its equatorial wintering grounds in this impaled state.
