Dolphins
Story: Everyone knows dolphins, whales, sharks, pigeons, Monarch butterflies, and a myriad of other creatures all use the stars to navigate the globe. They come to the surface during the night skies to get their bearings. During the day they simply follow the sun’s arrival and departure path as it bisects their navigation route. Unfortunately, all the super powers and communication companies have dotted the skies with thousands of satellites. Very reflective satellites! Now when a whale rises to the surface to gaze at the stars, there are thousands of man-made stars, added to the charts, and some of them are moving! Whales and dolphins particularly have caught the public’s attention as they beach themselves and die. Scientists and people frantically wonder why? The creatures run aground because they are confused. They ultimately die because as they lay there dieing; gazing at the stars every night and waiting. Every night they lay there staring at ‘man-made’ stars they have mistaken for the real thing. The stars they have followed for generations cannot be separated from the thousands of satellites which are in very similar orbits and close proximity to the real way points. The ‘satellites’ are telling them they are supposed to be at a very specific location; it’s just the wrong location. The fish and birds have simply mistaken the reflective properties of the satellites for navigational stars and journey way points and are now off course. One hundredth of one degree will do it! Why satellites have to be ‘shiny’ I don’t know? But any species using the stars for navigation didn’t get the memo! Man needs to ‘paint’ or cover the satellites in absorbing material instead of shiny metal. They need to paint them! I am presently charting ‘beachings’, satellite orbits, satellite earth shadows, and sky locations to see if there is a similarity. Also comparing launch and placement data against recorded abnormalities in fish/bird navigational behavior may be a future option. Everyone knows this, right?
Simply said,
Perhaps satellites have to be so 'shiny' so as to reflect the sun's heat and not absorb it?
Simply said, it is my opinion the dolphins and whales look to the stars for 'way points' to navigate and direct their migrations. When out at sea, they come to the surface and slowly turn with one eye making an 'arc' across the skies as they turn on the surface of the ocean. This arc coupled with the star positions supply 'true' coordinates for the mammals to navigate by. Unfortunately, man has saturated the night skies with thousands of satellites reflecting the suns rays and therefore made navigation extremely difficult. The mammals cannot tell the difference between the stars and the satellites. If they only make one mistake, just one; they may be sent off course hundreds of miles with no way to correct the mistake because the 'new' coordinate skies are also saturated with the same deceptive 'way points'. Thousands of years of migratory evolutionary 'way points' have been intermingled with thousands of new, deceptive, buoys or navigation beacons.
Simply said,
I understand France has become the leader in launching satellites into space; perhaps 3 per month and sometimes more.
Simply said,
is there a way to put an overlay of the 'shadows' that satellites (the link to see satellite shadows is on the home page) make on the earth's surface and compare these positions/shadows with migratory routes of the whales and dolphins? Then correlate the launch dates and positioning of known satellites with 'beaching' dates and locations? I will try, luck be with me.
