Re: how to prove to anyone earth is flat in 5 minutes
What really struck me was the sheer logic of plane travel..
If it takes around 4hrs from east coast to west coast, and the earth is spinning, then a trip west to east should only take less than half that time.
That along with the multitude of other solid facts convinced me, its flat.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 50311197


My ex-husband was a military pilot in the Army almost 22 years and his brother flew Apaches. Years ago and at separate times, both mentioned that every military pilot they'd ever known or flew with questioned the "earth is round" theory based on the view from way up, the horizon, and the fact that the travel time from country to country never added up. Something like that. They also made sure to mention that no one really talks about it to higher ups in the military - just to each other...taboo topic. Back then, I was still asleep about life and I was hardly interested. Now, of course, I wished I'd paid more attention to those conversations.

Then, just recently, I brought up the globe vs. flat controversy to my son (who flies Cessnas) for the first time and he surprised me by saying that he'd always questioned it as well based on the horizon in flight and how things looked in the simulator. When I mentioned what his dad and uncle (the pilots) told me, he said his dad told him the earth was flat when he was just five after he took him up flying for the first time in a helicopter. He also said his dad made him swear to keep it a secret no matter what he was taught in school - and he sure did because that was 21 years ago and he hasn't said a word untill now.

So, that's what I base my suspicions on.

BTW....travel time from coast to coast is a little over six hours direct.
 Quoting: thepatrioticgirl

I read what you are saying in another thread by a pilot. He also said they just didnt speak of it.
He went into some technical detail about it.
Lol, thanx for the tip on travel time, havent flown since i was a kid.

Re: how to prove to anyone earth is flat in 5 minutes
I can't believe I became a flat earther,
But how can anyone debunk what I just saw?

My friend did simple math with me, with a map and calculator using specs of earth.
And we agreed that if the earth is as big and round as its supposed to be, we would not be able to see an island off the coast, or even close.

So we got binoculars and saw the coast.
Our math was correct.

We should not be able to see even 2/3 there....

How can this be?

The earth is not flat.

The earth is at the center of the universe.

It does not move.

The universe moves around it.

So is there a dome around the flat earth? If so then how do meteors come through and hit the earth?

Re: how to prove to anyone earth is flat in 5 minutes
I always think about weather forecasting and the way fronts move or don't.
Or hurricanes taking four days to arrive across the Atlantic when the Earth is allegedly constantly rotating.

It would make forecasting virtually impossible.
Say there is a storm front in Texas and they think it will take 3 days to move to the East Coast.
How? When supposedly the Earth is rotating very swiftly?
How does the weather attach itself to a revolving Earth underneath? If I explained the dilemma properly.

cool2Ask someone living at the edge of the "flat earth" they would know. No one lives at the edge because there isn't an edge. It's a psyop they're trying to make us look imbecilic to the rest of the world. Sure there are anomalies in space and dimension, but that does not imply that the earth is flat, just ask a commercial pilot ( not a small craft or helicopter pilot)if he thinks the earth is flat

This is an absolute load of horseshit. I have family members that are both civilian and military pilots and they contradict your claim. None of them have ever met or even HEARD of a pilot of ANY craft that is as stupid as you're claiming your husband and brother in law are. Total excrement.
