Looking like it was this guy:

The discovery in 1996 of the diary that Byrd had kept on his famous flight seemed to suggest that he and Bennett may have turned back 150 miles short of the pole because of an oil leak. If so, Italian adventurer Umberto Nobile, American Lincoln Ellsworth, and Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen (who was in 1911 the first person to reach the South Pole by land) would receive the credit for their airship flight over the North Pole on May 12, 1926, three days after Fletcher and Byrds flight.


I still don't buy that its against the law to do so today, however.
None of the approved civil polar routes comes closer than about 60 nautical miles from the Pole. FYI, satellites don't fly directly over it either. You're right there's no 'body' that will punish you for breaking these routes and regulations, but then why is there not a single recorded person doing so? Admiral Byrd was a liar, and the crew you're referring to conveniently went missing just 2 years after they flew over the North Pole.

"Amundsen disappeared with five crew on 18 June 1928 while flying on a rescue mission in the Arctic. His team included Norwegian pilot Leif Dietrichson, French pilot Ren Guilbaud, and three more Frenchmen. They were seeking missing members of Nobile's crew, whose new airship Italia had crashed while returning from the North Pole."

How bizarre does that sound? One of them goes missing, then the other goes missing looking for him. And nothing since then.





Electromagnetism is intelligent design, it is unknown to us and at present the best explanation we have is attracting metals. This is true, but only in small amounts. Only intelligent design could have accumulated so much of that metal and put it into perfect balance to create the overwhelming force of the poles and the magnetic shield that protects the earth.

Op what is your take on flights like qf63/4 that would not be possible on a flat earth plane

That's weird because when my aircraft was on the ground, nothing else was distorted. Our wingman who was at elevation with us was not distorted. Only the earth? I can pretty much guarantee it was not a fish eye window or lens.

But the people in the videos telling you the earth is flat should be believed? Not my own first hand experiences? Aren't you saying to do your own research and open your mind? Yet when I give you real life examples of how I know the earth is round, you just retort with whatever sci fi videos you watched. Have you personally seen the edge of the world?

A telescope does not exist that is big enough to get a good enough view of the moon's surface to see the stuff that NASA said they left behind. It can't be proved but I have faith that it happened.

But don't go around thinking you're so great, telling people they're stupid for believing something that can't be proved or disproved.

The internet is full of conspiracy theories that people make up just for the sport of getting others to believe. The theories usually involve things that can't be fully proved or disproved.


We have moved on from the information age and onto the misinformation age.
Thats odd

People have always told me that they were able to see the US flag from their telescope...

I have always thought there is a good deal of plausibility behind a faked moon landing. Primarily being competition between the US and the Russians. But at the same time I think the Russians would have a field day if they knew that the US never pulled it off.

I also dont really pay much attention to flat earthers...but I have been very interested in the idea of simulation theory which has been gaining ground in the scientific community. The idea that the earth may not have any kind of consistent shape at all but could, instead, be some kind of virtual realm. There have been a lot of respectable scientists who have made similar allusions. I think Elon Musk talked about it too.

Either way...I dont think NASA is being straight at all with what information it has about the worlds beyond our own. I am starting to think its entire purpose is propaganda and disinformation.

This topic is hard to take serious. This is common knowledge world wide and there is no reason or purpose for any spooky secret organizations to keep the fact that the earth is in fact flat, secret from the world.

engineers and scientists base all of their calculations off of the idea that the earth is spherical. People have circumnavigated the globe in boats and planes and naturally formed disk shaped objects in space doesn't even make sense.

Watch videos of astronauts on the ISS. When they're fooling around with liquids, the default shape the liquid makes is spherical that goes for pretty much everything in the universe.

See, threads like this is why the basics of the life and physical sciences should be required to graduate from college. Its phuckin' embarrassing that this is even a discussion.

There are more in depth documentaries focusing more on certain aspects. Take a look at the ones I linked first and then do some research on your own. It will take time. I didn't accept it for a long time. I say again to you all- think!!!

do not show me youtube videos or ".com" websites. Show me peer reviewed articles (with the math to back it up) that the earth is flat.

The math doesn't lie. this is Physics-101: Projectile motion.

what gravitational phenomena would cause a planet to be flat on its ends? gravity effects the vacuum of space from all sides, at all times.

Don't be afraid. Do you not see the fear in you? Think for yourself, open your eyes!

Watch the videos and the proofs in them and then continue to research. Don't be afraid.

The only one afraid is the person in this thread going against everything that is essentially common knowledge. You're afraid because you don't believe in anything. Everything to you is false and fabricated and somehow a conspiracy. This does not concern me in the least bit because i've taken 2 years of Physics as well as a year and a half of calculus. The math trumps everything your docudramas and youtube videos can concoct.

I don't want to see documentaries with CGI imagery and kooky websites dumb down the material for me (junk science), I want to see tangible studies and raw data that can be replicated and peer reviewed articles that what you say has any basis in reality.

You are accepting what you have been told by someone who accepted what they were told and on and on...break the cycle and think for yourself for the first time in your existence. Don't be afraid. Research it. It will take time. You are hiding behind fallacies that have become "fact" for no reason but that's what you are told to believe. Stop being afraid. Good luck friend.

Yes it is flat, but there's never any point to debating it online. People have to come to it on their own.

Its not all bad (internet theories)

But most of it is horsechit

On top of unqualified people propogating their chit, they could even fake it

No i'm not. This proves how very little of the sciences you've taken. Science classes (physics classes in this case) have labs portions where you get to physically reproduce experiments and see them play out in real time.. I've literally calculated the math myself, and of all the experiments i've done there has been nothing that gave any indication or even hinted at the earth being flat in any way whatsoever.

I'll open my eyes and think outside the box when I see the math that proves otherwise....not unless you think Math (that we have been using for thousands of years) is wrong too, in which case this conversation is over because you're far too gone to be saved.

Lol there might be no edge or there might be one very far out. Ask the UN and governments of the world why you are not allowed to freely explore. Cmon dude think a little.

You are allowed to freely explore...and there would be edges all around the entire world, how could their possibly be no edge? I personally know people that have done several deep Antarctic expeditions and I live on the very most western part of Canada far off the mainland.

I also work on the ocean and have been hundreds of miles off the west coast of Canada and I know people personally that have sailed directly from Vancouver Island to Japan as well as people that have gone from the east coast to Europe.

unwilling to accept self-error + raised and told to believe something and you do unquestioningly = having an incorrect view of reality.

Watch the last documentary I posted and research those specific points after.


Edit- nothing you said disproves a flat earth. You just see as you have been told to see..only to the tip of your nose. Free your mind and see further and farthest brah.

Impossible for you to be so sure as if it's black and white. Simply impossible.

everyone else is wrong because you read some compelling stuff on the internet possibly contrived to meet an agenda.

Foolish response my dear friend. Instead of hiding behind fallacies and projecting your fear of being completely wrong how about opening your mind? Free yourself from fear, open your mind and see!

How does being able to sail in both directions not proof?

So what do you think they have armed security robots 10 miles away from the edge of the earth that kills anyone that tries to see it?

I am a big time "conspiracy theorist" but this one is too easily disproved and you can't reply to anything with a real response just filibuster and tell people to watch youtube videos.

I do believe in troll threads.....

I am a big time "conspiracy theorist" but this one is too easily disproved and you can't reply to anything with a real response just filibuster and tell people to watch youtube videos.

I do believe in troll threads.....

Typical. Why would sailing in both direction disprove a flat earth?...that's why you need to research because have absolutely no clue why it does not disprove it and can't even grasp your limited narrow view has taken away your ability see past the tip of your nose...armed robots?!?! Lol you prove my point that you are incapable of thought. Think. Start thinking. Don't deflect and hide. Go to the videos I posted and start researching. Several months from now after many hours of research you can make decision. If you are not afraid that is...

Or retreat into your fear and intellectual cowardice...I was told this is true and that's why it's true. I will only believe what I am told by what I am told is who I must believe...lol a slave

I'll open my eyes and think outside the box when I see the math that proves otherwise....not unless you think Math (that we have been using for thousands of years) is wrong too, in which case this conversation is over because you're far too gone to be saved.
