Flat Earth Debate / I have a proposal for FE people

« on: December 24, 2008, 06:38:02 AM »

Like I said in my previous post, I'm involved with weather balloons. I have one to be "launched" or rather released in march from SW ON. It is expected to reach about 95.000 feet. You're more then welcome to attend, plus if you like it can carry your own camera.(3lbs of payload atill available) At that altitude you can clearly see the curvature of earth.

who's coming?

Flat Earth Q&A / New user, needing proof

« on: November 18, 2008, 01:33:53 PM »

Hello all;

First let me say that I've come with an open mind and that I believe that earth is round so I need you to convince me otherwise. I am looking for proof a bit beyond "not known". About myself; I am a commercial pilot with both fixed and rotary wing ratings. I currently fly helicopters, but I have accumulated 1900 hours in a learjet flying at over 40000 feet. from that altitude, you can clearly (with my eyes at least) see the curvature of earth. Furthermore, I have been a part of a team sending high altitude balloons to above 100000 feet to collect air samples and take pictures. I have the pictures on my home computer and I have in cockpit videos of my experiences while flying the Lear which I'll be more than happy to post if need be but most likely they will be stamped as fakes.

what I'd like to know if FE is true;
What's causing the 4 seasons, the tides, winds just to begin with and why I need to follow a curved path while flying a 6000mile trip to avoid running out of fuel. (you'll need 50% more fuel to fly in a straight line from New-York to Moscow)
Who would benefit from a conspiracy of this scale?

this is of course for starters cause I could go on for a LONG time.
Waiting for your OWN input without referring me to the FAQ section.
