Title: Deception to prove a point?
Post by: TomInAustin on May 24, 2017, 08:57:05 PM

This video claims that the plane is flying at 70,000 ft and you can't see any curvature.  However at the 3:42 mark the altimeter clearly shows 40,400

You'd probably have to ask whoever made the video.

More like educate whoever made the video.

Did anyone else notice that the plane in the video is actually a U-2, not an SR-71?

This is a badly done piece of video footage.   While I don't believe the Earth is flat - it's hard to prove with a shaky video made through god-knows-what curvature of plexiglas and god-knows-what camera lens.

There are better ways to prove that the Earth is round.

How the new moon looks from various places around the world is my current favorite - still nobody here claims an answer to that one - nor to double-tides, shadows of crater rims on the moon - clockwise rotations of stars in the southern hemisphere/hemiplane....etc, etc, etc.

These are things you can EASILY see with your own eyes...you don't have to rely on any external evidence whatever...and that's a "gold standard" level of proof.
