I wrote and tried publishing a short story about a species like that.

where only occasionally people on top of mountains see stars, and they chuck it as a consequence of low pressure. eventually they invented flight, and assume pilots going high enough to see stars are having cognitive issues due to lack of air.

They asked pilots to draw the stars they see, and they get different drawings (they sent pilots at different times of the year because they couldn’t ever expect stars to shift) and assume its proof that thise stars are a cognitive artifact.

Eventually a pilot swears they are real and can actually use then to navigate, skepticism, he proves it. brand new research field emerges.

Although the story focuses more on deep DEEP time an omniengineering. (A term I just made up because mega engineering is a concept way too small compared to the one in the story).

If you want I don’t mind putting that story in the conversation.
