Flat Earth Investigations / Re: The ole' shadow of a mountain...

The main logical flaw in the reflection theory is that if it was actually causing the lighting under the clouds, and the shadow of the mountain, the shadow cast would appear close to the mountain.  As time goes by and the sun moves further from the mountain, the shadow would get farther from the peak.  The exact opposite occurs.  The sun casts the mountain's shadow to the ground and as the sun sets the shadow rises and eventually as the sun gets low enough is cast upward to the clouds.  That shadow then gets closer and closer to the peak as the sun sets beyond the horizon.

Flat Earth Investigations / The ole' shadow of a mountain...

    I recently had a first-hand experience regarding the "shadow of a mountain" cast onto the underside of clouds.  As the sun was "setting" there were large clouds near the "horizon" that began to cast shadows onto flat cloud cover the was directly overhead.  I've really only come across light reflection as the explanation for this and was curious how one could further defend this or present a more solid theory as my observance of the phenomenon doesn't really support reflection as a viable solution.

In regards to the Concorde, and atmospheric pressure in general, 90% of the atmosphere is within the first 10% of its altitude.  You can not simply compare the service altitude of the Concorde to the theoretical altitude of space in the manner that you did when discussing pressure.
