If there were things stuck on this dome, I'd lose signal when the sun moves in front, because according to these people, the sun is within this dome.
When I was a kid, dad bought one of those massive satellite dishes that used to pick up pirated signals. Those moved from side to side, up and down, to hone in on the satellites in space. If the box wasn't programmed properly, there was no way to get a signal at all. Even those guys who were selling "stolen" signals knew where the satellites were. I have trouble believing they'd be in on a conspiracy as well.
