What am I seeing when I look up?

There is a small mass above the Earth pulling things upwards.

And why is this pull greater than that of the Earth?  Can you enumerate it? 

So the fact that you would be closer to the stars, which have mass, means nothing?

In RE, yes.
In FE... well... you gotta tell me. FE is your theory after all.

Note, I don't care. I think the holes in FE are easier to find than having to rely on general relativity to show the difference. But... just thought I'd give you a straight answer, robosteve.

EDIT: now the I read the rest of the thread... also the decreasing pull of gravity due to 1/r² is an issue, but seeing how FE'ers seem to let us RE'ers only do experiments at the altitude that planes fly, I'm not sure we can run an experiment that's sensitive enough to show the 1/r² difference at airplane height. But again, I think poking holes in FE is easier than this.
