This is Scientifically impossible
That's a nice graphic to illustrate how absolutely ridiculous it is.
Gravity glues water to the ball with such force that it remains relatively still and calm while moving at 1000MPH (if you don't count the millions of MPH it's moving through space), and yet a butterfly can effortlessly lift off and then fly in either direction with equal ease.
So if a hot air balloon goes up, the reason it doesn't go 1000MPH against the rotation of the earth is because it's held to the earth by gravity, as if the latter were an iron rod, and yet it can effortlessly overcome this massive force with a tiny blast of air and head off in the direction contrary to the drag of this massive force. There was a video put out by an engineer who said that if a plane were moving West-East and then turned to the North-South direction to land, the violence of making that turn against these massive forces would rip the plane to pieces, and yet it's done all the time, effortlessly, and without a second thought.
Sound waves move at about 761 MPH. So if you were moving at 1000MPH West to East at the equator, if you spoke to someone to the East of you, they'd never hear you, because they'd be moving to the East faster than the sound waves could move to get to them. And, no, it's not gravity, as sound waves are not subject to gravity and therefore do not get dragged along by the earth's rotation.
Anyone who believes this stuff is insane.
