satelitters

Satelliters are a group of birds that are known for their unique behavior of following satellites in orbit. This phenomenon was first documented in the 1990s when researchers observed birds, primarily pigeons, flying in formation near satellites. The birds would align themselves in a line, often in the direction of the satellite's path, and would follow it for extended periods.

The exact reason why birds exhibit this behavior is not fully understood, but several theories have been proposed. One theory suggests that the birds are attracted to the electromagnetic fields generated by the satellites. Another theory proposes that the birds are following the satellites to find food, as the satellites may be carrying food or other resources. Additionally, some researchers have suggested that the birds may be following the satellites as a form of navigation, using the satellite's path as a guide.

Satelliters have been observed in various parts of the world, including North America, Europe, and Asia. The phenomenon has been documented in different species of birds, including pigeons, swallows, and even some species of birds of prey. However, the behavior is not well-studied, and more research is needed to fully understand the reasons behind it.

Despite the lack of comprehensive research, satelliters have captured the public's imagination and have become a popular topic in birdwatching and ornithology communities. The phenomenon serves as a reminder of the complex and often mysterious behaviors exhibited by birds and other animals.
