Post by: Denspressure on October 16, 2016, 02:53:28 PM: What kind of airplane is it?

The highest altitude an airplane has ever flown was 112,010 meter, approx 69 miles, SpaceShipOne.

So the sun is 69 miles up now? Oh no wait... SpaceShipOne is a fake of course.

Then we have the X-15 at 107,700 meter. But that project was discontinued a long time ago. No working X-15s exist and I doubt they can get the bombers used to launch the thing up and running again for a task that dangerous.
And its made by NASA so... fake.

Bell X-2 at 38,491 meter has the same problems as X-15.

That leaves the MiG-25 has a possible one, a lot were build, some are on display. Their altitude record is 38,491 m. So I guess this must mean the sun is 24 miles up?

Oh now wait... we have hobby rockets that can go higher.

Post by: Kami on October 16, 2016, 03:07:03 PM: So there is a (very low-quality, shaky) video of an airplane flying in front of the sun and vanishing behind clouds.
I have no idea why this, in any way, counts as proof.

Post by: IonSpen on October 16, 2016, 03:21:06 PM: Why do you post these stupid videos? Do you just want the attention? Or the traffic? I'm not watching it. You're starting to look like the flat earth scientist who kept posting his ridiculous videos.
An airplane going into the sun? Are you serious??

Please, oh please summarise your salient points, if you have any, so we can decide whether it's worth spending the time watching your videos.
The important points could be covered in a 2 minute video. Most of the time is trying to impress us with you "expertise".

2:38 Airplane flies INTO the sun, NO, airplane flies TOWARDS the sun - there is a big difference!
3:09 Maybe alien UFOs - but I though that FEers denied the possibility of UFOs.
3:20 Holographic UFOs - any EVIDENCE - no that would be IMPOSSIBLE!
3:34 Where is the plane? Maybe hidden in the glare of the sun? Ever thought of simple rational explanations? No not the ::) ::) "impossiblechannel" ::) ::) that would be too mundane!
3:41 Alien ;D ;D orbs ;D ;D ????

Rubbish, rubbish until

6:23 What are those tracks in the clouds? I don't know, maybe the paths of a jet-stream?
8:31 Lots of ISS footage - but all other flat earther claim that the ISS is a fake.

More complete and utter waste or time.

Are you a complete idiot - how could an airplane fly INTO the sun. Even in Flat Earth theory, the "near sun" sun is about 3,000 miles up.
;D ;D So you are claiming that there are planes flying 3,000 miles high! ;D ;D
Please explain how a sun 30,000 ft high could illuminate half the earth!

Surely this is another candidate for "Complete Nonsense", or maybe the Society should start a "Science Fantasy" forum!

4:53 Plane can be seen traveling from behind the cloud to behind the tree and continuing on it's way.

The certainly did:

Icarus didn't fly into the sun, just too high.

His dad had more sense.

I found the radio transcript of the incident...

PILOT: Uhhhhhhh, requesting permission to turn 180º
ATC: Negative
PILOT: Uhhh, Roger.

PILOT: (cabin PA) Uhhhhhhhhhhh, Free drinks, everyone!

Yes, they knew it was a Globe, even though Plato simply thought spheres looked nice. Aristotle and Eratosthenes had more sold grounds.

Post by: Luke 22:35-38 on October 19, 2016, 03:30:16 PM: Fighter pilots use this technique to attack the enemy without them knowing it. No, the plane is not going into the sun, its flying toward it.

Post by: origamiscienceguy on October 20, 2016, 01:01:52 PM: I love the ambiguity of his proof.

100% PROOF THAT THE SUN might possibly be slightly more local than people believe, it might not, BUT STILL 100% PROOF!

No plane in existence can fly 3000 miles high.

So how high is it now... 69 miles?

Post by: RocksEverywhere on October 21, 2016, 01:55:11 AM: The sun is actually very local.

As you can see, it's stuck in this tree. Someone get it out of there please.

Post by: Brouwer on October 21, 2016, 11:57:40 PM: Be careful, or you're convince more poeple that the perspective does actually work for solar rays regardless of how far the sun is.

Also, love the logic of this thread:
Sun may be local. Not IS local. But whatever, still counts as a proof of (insert anything).
