Hi all, hope you're all well.
Let me start by saying that I'm a convinced flat earther. Nothing anyone can say will convince me that we live on some 'magic spinning ball' lol ;D
But I want to know flat earther's views on the moving dots in the sky. Where I live in Essex I see them every night and have done so all my life. My 'sky guide' app tells me they're rocket parts in orbit at around 12 metres in length. Yeah right. Anyone know what they really are?

If you got and put here some photos or videos on them then we can say our ideas about them.

I'll try and get a video tonight if it clears up. You just have seen them, they look like stars but move in a steady and straight motion across the sky. Not planes. When I was RE I thought they were satellites. Now my SKY APP says they're rocket parts which I don't believe. I put them down to surveillance drones, I've tried getting them in a telescope but they're too fast at that magnification. Have a look on a clear night. Take 10-20mins to look at the sky and I'll be amazed if you don't see what I'm talking about. I'll try and get a video on my phone but don't know if they'll be visible enough. I will try tho because I've looked for a while now on here and just on google in general and can't see them mentioned here or mainstream. Very strange

Johnny, if you want to put that telescope to good use, I recommend the Transit Finder website (http://transit-finder.com/). You input your location and it will tell you when the ISS will transit near or directly in front of the moon or the sun, so you can point your scope at one or the other and capture the transit on video or still photo. And you're right about moving fast, here's a twelve second clip of the ISS transiting in front of the Moon, and the ISS is in frame for less than four seconds:

PLEASE TAKE PROPER PRECAUTIONS FOR SUN OBSERVATION

Considering you're a convinced flat earther it seems you're in the wrong part of the forum.
Flat earthers already have any number of "facts" about what the moving dots in the sky are so I'm not sure what you want to debate.

Isn't that stance a bit flawed considering you have questions about things that are easily explained in every part of the scientific genre, let alone the facts of round earth? Sounds almost like a religious stance.
