@cryptogee,

Listen, mister smarty-pants ... there's no need to be sarcastic.

There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for your observation. The sun, of course, was not underneath you. It was, in fact, above you - as logic would dictate.

The plane ... was flying upside down.

I'm surprised you didn't notice.

Of course! In some weird, elaborate plot to make me think the world is round!

Here, this is what happened. You were flying in the plane (in the picture you are silver surfer beacause i dont know how to draw a plane) and you were on the high ground of the flat earth near the north pole, so the sun seems to be below you.
I want my nobel prize now. (I draw this to my friend, that is why it is in spanish, but i think you undestand it anyways)

Hahahaaha, very good!! Give this man his prize now!! Muy bueno mi amigo!! LOL

gracias amigo, do you know Riquelme?

No, I did wonder about that, I just thought he was meant to be you?

Cg

He is a very loved football player, he played in barcelona but is from argentina.

Ah of course! That Riquelme :-), Yes I know of him :-)

Cg

Yeah, I used to do that...there was a water storage near our home and it was around 50 ft high...Sometimes I would sneak there(my mom had forbidden us going there, or obvious reasons) to watch the kites...(and the second sunset :) )

Really fun flight of fancy this series has been, thanks for the entertainment! And yes you've given me plenty of ammunition for any flat-earthers I might meet. I've met none so far, and I consider this a blessing!

Thanks, I've enjoyed writing it; I've only ever met them online, however when you see the size of some of their conventions, and the amount of retweets that idiot, flat-earther celebrities get, you realise that it's only a matter of time . . .

wow, freaky. reminds me of the my feeling after the 2016 election..."who ARE these people???"

I know, it is totally mental, they are growing in number, and it scares me, it really scares me.

I wonder why the flat earthers haven't been smart enough to buy a weather balloon, attach a GoPro to it and launch it up into the air to find out for themselves. You can buy a professional grade weather balloon, that will make it up into space, on Amazon for $22 with free shipping, attach a GoPro Hero 5 (you don't want to go all out and get the 6 just in case an alien steals it) for another $199 on Amazon with free shipping. A SPOT GEN3 GPS locator for another $149.95, so you can find your GoPro before the weirdos with their metal detectors find it. A small styrofoam capsule to put everything in, make sure it is light but sturdy. You can get two on amazon for $21. Cut a whole so the camera can see out of it and mount the camera in there good. Some handwarmers, 10 for $5, to throw in the container to keep the camera from getting too cold and reducing the battery life. You don't want to get up in space and have the battery die. It is a long flight. A parachute so your project doesn't plummet to the earth and take out some old lady on her way to get groceries. An 8ft wide parachute runs you about $70. You will need a radar reflector, $25.73 on Amazon, mounted on your project so that airplanes can see it and you aren't responsible for taking out a Boeing 777 full of passengers on their way to see grammy and grampy. You will also need duct tape, lots of duct tape.

Now slap it all together. Fill the balloon up with helium and let it go. Oh and don't forget to turn the GoPro on.

I think the flat earthers don't do this because easy experiment because if they did then they wouldn't have anything to post about in their mom's basement anymore.

Very good point!!! In fact any flat-earther who refuses to arrange this experiment on some level, is clearly just a troll. Nice one :-)

I think most of the flat earthers are just a bunch of people that don't really understand any of the nonsense they are spewing. They are just regurgitating the same thing they have heard from all the other flat earthers with no true understanding of what they are saying, while they are attempting to sound smart. They are just too dumb to truly understand how gravity and the world works so they come up with stuff like this:

Hahaha, great post with alot of humour and information. Amazing video to bring it all together!

I'm sure the Flat Earthers would claim it's all to do with smoke (or clouds in this case) and mirrors.

The Milky Way is one of the most powerful manifestations that exist, we believe that we are approaching when in reality we are very far from it. We believe that all planets are close to each other when in fact they are many kilometers away. Our universe is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
If you like, you can visit my profile and if you prefer, vote .. Thank you.

We believe that all planets are close to each other when in fact they are many kilometers away.

We do know that, the outer planets' distances can be measured in light hours.

Well let me tell you! That here in Venezuela when you climb "Ávila mountain" (2144 masl) you can see the same phenomenon! I have seen it a couple times but never ask me why does this happened?

It is kind of interesting the information you just gave us! And yeah is really difficult to understand, maybe sometimes we just need to enjoy the show and not ask to much! But it is really important the information gave
Thanks for sharig

And yeah is really difficult to understand,

It isn't, it is very easy to understand if you accept reality. Because the world is round and spinning on its axis, we see the illusion of the sun setting. Which is my point, this phenomenon is impossible to explain in the flat earth model. :-)

Been a lot of fun reading the series!

I see you are in London: are you going to the London Cryptocurrency Show on the 14th? There are a lot of Steem Projects being showcased.
