I don't know what tools were actually used, and as Mick says the cuts look rather ragged, but for what it's worth I don't see any problem in cutting through the 'bollards' quickly using cheap and easily available tools. I can't find any statement of the thickness of the bollards, but from the...

It is not widely known, but many stars can be observed in daylight with a good telescope if the observer knows their exact location. I remember reading this in an astronomy book by Sir John Herschel, and could probably dig out the reference if needed. (5 minutes later...found it): Herschel...

I noticed that someone with the moniker Rory had put a bunch of anti-flat earth videos on YouTube, so unless it is an amazing coincidence I guess that is you! I like two things about them: 1) the calm matter-of-fact presentation, and 2) they are short . I hope you manage to keep your calm...

On the question of range, I don't think it would be strictly necessary for the drone to fly all the way from the observation point to the target distance or distances. It could be carried out on a boat and then launched to rise until it reaches the crosshairs. (Radio communication between the...

Well, excuse me for commenting on the extract you showed before, and not the one you are showing now. As to the new one, the movements are in synch. I'll agree that in the main picture the hands appear to go down further than on the small screen, but the quality of the small picture is too poor...

The movements visible on the small hand-held screen (iPad or whatever) are exactly in synch with the movements in the main picture, which in itself goes a long way to disprove any suspicion that Khan has somehow been inserted into the scene (if this is what is suggested). We cannot see as much...

I'm not even sure what we are supposed to be looking at. The still capture at #30 in this thread just looks to me like a foreshortened view of Khan's bent arm, with a bulge of flesh where the forearm is compressed against the elbow joint. it may look a bit odd, but foreshortened views often...

I think we can all agree that Amir Khan's performance seems implausible. Everyday experience shows that a puff of smoke, etc, is quickly dissipated in the surrounding air. Even if a parcel of air is enclosed in a light membrane, as in a party balloon or a soap bubble, air resistance would...

I agree that it could have been done with a vortex cannon, but that is a long way from proving that it must have been. You would need to completely rule out all alternatives, and I don't think that has been done. We also need a high standard of proof before accusing people of dishonesty, which...

I came across this French video, which at first sight is one of the best general flat-earth-debunks I have seen. There are a lot of good things in it, but especially relevant to this thread are the last 5 minutes or so, where the narrator discusses the curve of the horizon, and uses the lateral...

Bear in mind it is his party trick. He has done it several times with variations. Maybe there is a knack to it that requires a lot of practice? Could it be that his punching action creates a vortex something like the vortex cannon? I note that he jerks his hand backwards almost as quickly as...

The Times (UK) today (6 October 2018) has a front page story and an inside-page 'investigative report' with the headline 'Teenagers targeted by Russian trolls'. The front page article is here but may be paywalled for non-subscribers...

According to news reports, one of the two suspects has allegedly been identified as a Colonel in the GRU: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-45656004 An investigative journalism website has published what it says is the real identity of one of the Russian intelligence officers suspected of the...

"The differences are lesser compared to the uniformity of the details." I'm not sure what point you are making. If you just mean that the two corridors have more similarities than differences, that is true, but it is not surprising. The two corridors are constructed to the same design, so of...

OK, I should have said the alleged timing of Truman's alleged comments! Did Truman make any such comments in April 1950? Nobody has yet produced any clear reference to them from before 2004, which is surprising if he did make them, as the subject is intensively, not to say obsessively, studied...

In that time, early in the Cold War, were there not suspicions that the mysterious 'flying saucers' might be secret weapons built by the USA itself, the USSR, or some other earthly power? There were rumours that Nazi Germany had developed very advanced aircraft technology, work on which...

The Russian authorities have latched onto this story (if they didn't start it in the first place). According to today's Daily Telegraph (UK), Russia is claiming that the images were doctored: … The Kremlin claimed the timestamp had been overlaid on the CCTV photographs of them arriving...

I agree the most likely explanation is simply that they are going down a long narrow corridor (or maybe two different corridors) with several near-identical fittings, as one can see in the photos themselves. I say 'near-identical' because, as others have pointed out, there are some slight...

Even if he said it, the phrase 'given that they exist', might just mean 'if they exist', or 'assuming that they exist', not an admission that they do exist. It would be a slightly odd way of saying it, but some more recent Presidents have had much odder turns of speech.

Professional airline pilot and ace flat-earth debunker Wolfie6020 has covered this topic in several videos on YouTube, with lots of shots showing undistorted horizontals through aircraft windows (cockpit or passenger windows.) I can't instantly find the best one, but I will add a link when I...
