OK fellow Ancient Astronaut theorists....smoke a fatty and ask your self why the "mythical" supernatural being with legendary power and strength from a time long past--is/was named "thunderbird".
Think about it, thunder--what noise sounds like thunder, especially in a time when the best way to get from here to there was: walk or ride on the back of a beast. There were no "engines" or "motors".
Can you name another object that, during the days of antiquity, flew in the sky (like a bird) that possessed great power and strength--and made a sound like "thunder"?
Now read what wiki says about t-birds (better have that fatty lit)--
In Algonquian mythology, the thunderbird controls the upper world while the underworld is controlled by the underwater panther or Great Horned Serpent. The thunderbird throws lightning at the underwater creatures and creates thunder by flapping its wings.[1] Thunderbirds in this tradition are commonly depicted as having an X-shaped appearance. This varies between a simple X to recognizable birds.[1] The X-shaped thunderbird is often used to depict the thunderbird with its wings alongside its body and the head facing forwards instead of in profile.[2]
The Menominee of Northern Wisconsin tell of a great mountain that floats in the western sky on which dwell the thunderbirds. They control the rain and hail and delight in fighting and deeds of greatness. They are the enemies of the great horned snakes - the Misikinubik - and have prevented these from overrunning the earth and devouring mankind. They are messengers of the Great Sun himself.[3]
The Ojibwe version of the myth states that the thunderbirds were created by Nanabozho for the purpose of fighting the underwater spirits. They were also used to punish humans who broke moral rules. The thunderbirds lived in the four directions and arrived with the other birds in the springtime. In the fall they migrated south after the ending of the underwater spirits' most dangerous season.[4]
