Proof the Sun may be local

Footage of airplane going into the sun!!

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.

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.

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??

Flat earth scientist at least participated in the discussion. OP is very clearly just promoting his YouTube channel here.

This is one of those instances where a mod could use their authority and put a stop to this nonsense.

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  orbs  ?

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.
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.

Icarus flew into the sun as well. Say what you want about the Greeks, but they knew the shape of things. If you get my meaning.

rabinoz, thank you for watching these videos so we don't have to!

The certainly did:

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

His dad had more sense.

I agree.

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!

I'm confused as to why this stupid thread and others like it are allowed in the uppers now.

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

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.

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?

The sun is actually very local.




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

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).
