10 Birds That Sound Like Aliens 

In 2012, a NASA spacecraft made the clearest record yet of choruses of noise in the Earth’s magnetosphere. The chirps and whoops were captured by one of NASA’s two launched Radiation Belt Storm Probes, whose mission was to understand space weather to a greater extent. Sometime after, Craig Kletzing, the experiment principal investigator, joked that his wife calls it alien birds. Thanks for the video idea craig’s wife! No but seriously, after hearing those eerie, birdlike sounds, I began to wonder what birds of our world actually sound like aliens. I narrowed the list down to 10 birds. If there’s any birds that didn’t make the list that you think should have, make sure to say so in the comments below.
