    Question regarding distant lighthouses

    Could you take a compass bearing? Confirming to yourself that it's accurate by doing the same for the other two points you reference? That might be a starting place: to see if you are indeed pointing at Phare de Chassiron. Nice first post. :)

    Observations of Pike's Peak

    Oops! I was completely wrong about him matching his image up to a gradient map from the opposite direction - I was just watching his first video again while making a video response of my own and I realised that he'd horizontally flipped his original image so that the orientation did actually...

    Observations of Pike's Peak

    I hear ya. And at the same time, some value has to be inputted for viewer height, and whether it's height above 5000 or 4840 or 5300 will make quite a difference (a range of 5992 to 8721 for hidden amount). Question is: how do we choose which one? Or is it always going to be a rough figure, so...

    Water Level Showing Mountain and Horizon Dip Due to Curvature

    I hear what you're saying. I guess I was going by what you said in the first post - "it probably won't work...the level will probably be sensitive to adjustments" - which is the same as saying it might work. But it seems you're actually saying "it definitely won't work" - which is cool also...

    Water Level Showing Mountain and Horizon Dip Due to Curvature

    The water won't be moving? Is "regular" the same as "intermittent"? If so, does that mean there will be a time when minor adjustments won't be being made?

    Water Level Showing Mountain and Horizon Dip Due to Curvature

    What if there aren't any accelerations at the moment the images are captured? Is that possible to find such a moment?

    Water Level Showing Mountain and Horizon Dip Due to Curvature

    Somebody should use a water level on an aeroplane - I've had a look and I don't think this has been done. I'll whip one up next time I'm due to fly.

    Unidentified "space vehicle"

    Hold on - it's moving across the sky: that ain't no star. Watch from 45 seconds onwards and you see it from about beneath the moon heading left (I could only see it in full screen). Though I do notice that the image he 'analyses' has the light much further to the right. First thought was...

    Observations of Pike's Peak

    Question to Mick about this: For these Pikes Peak shots we're using 5000 feet as the base level, since it's not a shot over water. That's approximately the lowest point - though the lowest point is actually 4840 feet. Should we be using that instead as a base level? Or should it be the...

    Unidentified "space vehicle"

    Recent flat earth hero JTolan has uploaded a video of the moon shot using an 830nm infrared filter, and happened to catch what he says "appears to be a space vehicle in orbit": Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCNlYerxPVA From 45 seconds he shows about 20 seconds of it moving across...

    Observations of Pike's Peak

    The Google Earth elevation profile tool is useful in shots like this, where there's a ridge in the way. Not only does it help locate where the ridge is, it provides a simulation of the flat Earth view: This shows that, even on a flat earth, only about 4,000 feet of the mountain would be...

    Measuring the Curvature of the Horizon with a Level

    Those could have been really nice. But without the straight edge, how can we be sure the curve isn't being caused by barrel distortion?

    Observations of Pike's Peak

    Been chatting a bit with the maker of these videos in the youtube comments. We're not quite seeing what one another are seeing, but it's an interesting dialogue. I asked him how he was measuring the visible amount of the mountains and he said: The gradient map he's referring to is this one...

    Observations of Pike's Peak

    This is a nice shot of Pikes Peak taken from a helicopter at a much closer distance: Source: https://denver.cbslocal.com/2018/10/03/pikes-peak-visitors/ While this reveals a little more of the range, even taken from the air there's still the problem of a large ridge obscuring the bases of...

    Observations of Pike's Peak

    Flat earth believer Nick Havok has uploaded a new Pikes Peak video, which shows a shot from 130 miles away: Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=09TwUYK1XLg&t=11m7s He's pretty much on the same line of sight as the video above, just a little further north, parked on the I-25 southbound onramp at...

    Debunked: 120-mile shot of San Jacinto proves flat earth

    I was struggling to find a photo of what San Jacinto actually looks like in full from that direction, but I just came across this one: Source: https://imgur.com/a/HWZZLoM The red boxed part equates to the area JTolan shows in his photo. There's no information about a location here, but it...

    Debunked: 120-mile shot of San Jacinto proves flat earth

    YouTube user JTolan Media 1 has uploaded a video which shows images of San Jacinto Peak in California taken from Malibu, 120 miles away. He believes this is proof that the Earth is flat: Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-pXWRn_wfk (start at around 9:48 - before that is preamble) His main...

    Observations of Pike's Peak

    The video in the OP got deleted. But it's been reuploaded here: Was revisiting this as there's a similar one of San Jacinto in California currently exciting some flat earthers as it was shot in infrared and things look cool in infrared. Source: https://youtu.be/mOGs2yfEqp0 (from around 12...
