I’m surprised that no one noticed that at the end of the video the obvious curvature of the Earth was easily seen, as demonstrated in my screenshot. It matches, almost exactly, the simulator he used. The guy used fuzzy footage with straight lines earlier in the video to try and discredit GE.  It is understandably difficult to perceive the subtle curvature at the lower altitudes, but his downfall was the last footage he used.

I just rotated the entire picture 2.52 degrees counter-clockwise, the closest I could get it to perfectly level/horizontal using a straightedge against the side of my monitor screen.  You simply created an optical illusion where the "drop" / "curve" was due to the fact that you drew the line directly across horizontal on the picture, assuming that the craft's/camera's attitude was perfectly level/horizontal.  I'll assume that this was not deliberate deception on your part.

You are absolutely correct, I stand corrected on this point. Do you happen to know the widths in miles that were used in the simulation as opposed to the footage he used?

No, and that would be one thing to look at the entire viewing angle of the image.  You could argue for a bit of a curve on the left side there, but I think the blue beneath the line is just water, as you can judge by the amount of "haze" above the line.

I apologize for having been belligerent/hostile in my previous post.  It's just a reflex from being attack as an insane lunatic on a regular basis regarding the FE view.

But I think that his bigger point that he didn't articulate or emphasize well was that there should also be a significant drop in the eye-level horizon.  Again, that could be affected by the angle/attitude of the camera, but the image from the Red Bull jump capsule was fairly conclusive.

So the way I look at it is this.  If you were to look from one side of Kansas to another, you would have a curvature drop of 120,000 feet (according to globe curvature math).  Many amateur balloons seem to top off right around 120,000 feet.  So the drop in altitude from one end of Kansas to the other should be the same as the 120,000 feet that those balloons go up to, and there's simply no evidence of such a drop in the horizon line from "eye level".

Right now, I'm looking at a distant moon near the horizon lit up from below. How is it possible on a FE?

It isn’t possible to explain using the conventional FE model. This is exactly why I keep insisting that FE adherents need to come up with a model that actually works *before* they push their theory. What the common man can observe on a daily basis, how the sun rises and sets, lunar phases and cycles, solar and lunar eclipses, measurable distances between oceans and land masses, measurable distances between cities, etc., demands an explanation.

The globe model needs explain why there is no measurable curvature and why we can see much further than globe calculations account for.

Meh, very weak.  Perspective and reflection can both easily explain the phenomenon.  His attempt to debunk perspective had him holding up a cell phone with a light clearly above it (on a lamp pole) without the necessary perspective.  Nor does light merely reflect off of oceans, but the entire surface of the earth reflects it, causing what's known as earth shine.

Finally, when planes are flying level, they actually fly with a one to two degree nose up deck or fuselage angle.  And are the videos he's showing of planes during their ascent or descent?  That's the time you're most likely to see planes.

Extremely inconclusive.

Perhaps he can address the engineer who used CAD to demonstrate that if the sun were setting behind the curvature of the earth we should see a shadow on the bottom of the clouds as it sets, from one end of the horizon to the other ... but that never happens.

He also strawmans the FE argument about the boats disappearing over the horizon.  Eventually they will disappear whether the earth is flat or globe simply due to the convergence with the horizon, waves, atmosphere, etc.  But experiments have repeatedly proven that ships can SEEM to disappear bottom up over the horizon but then can be brought back into view by zooming in.  So the appearance of the phenomenon is largely due to the limits of our eyesight, which can be overcome with the right optics.  Again, the FEs often take precise measurements to demonstrate that these boats should be hidden by the geometric horizon but can be seen anyway.
