Near Space Weather Balloon Shows Earth Curve 

Screenshots from the following video have been used dishonestly by Flat Earthers to claim that it proves the horizon is Flat when seen from high altitude. Original video: "Near Space Weather Balloon Launch With Gopro to 109 000 Feet!" by Rotaflight Short clip: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-95NDkABAsSk.html Full video (4 hours): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9dfVtaZbuIQ.html As we will see, the horizon is curved when the horizon is in the center of the frame. At all other times, the horizon is distorted by the Fish-Eye lens FAIR USE STATEMENT This video may contain copyrighted material the use of which has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

0:20 and 0:38 vs 0:22 and 1:00 In the first time stamps camera is pointing downward and the curve is very prominent, in the second set the camera points upward and the curve levels out and becomes nearly convex as it goes upward. Disregard the camera lens argument, what’s the explanation of the different curve prominence within just a few seconds in between a shot?

In before people say, "But all lenses are curved".

If the footage is from near the top of that flight (109,000 ft = 33.2 km), the curvature will be the same as when looking towards the edge of a 2-metre-wide circle from 10 cm above its centre.

Yep,Earth Is a huge sphere compared to our perception of reality....flerfoholics thinks the ball Earth is small enough to detect curvature no matter where you look...lol

They're going to claim they're using a fish eye camera or this is CGI or some kind of made-up complex optical illusion, there's no point arguing with these people.

Can’t have it both ways guys. At that altitude the horizon should be a few degrees below eye level right? So catching it in the center of the frame means the camera is pointing down.... what happens when you point a fisheye lens down? How about this..... let’s try with no fisheye? Lol

How large is your ball? 🤔

Funny is that an hypothetical "pizza Earth" if see from the height will show curved borders - after all a disk has curved borders. So how "flath'ards" expect seem a straight horizon in this kind of video?

The description of this and the original video don't say anything about the location, but the annotations at 0:54 reveal that this is above Trøndelag in central Norway, and we are looking more or less to the west. My best guess is that the balloon was launched from somewhere close to Stjørdal, about 25 km east of Trondheim.

Why there are never records or pictures of the moon, when there send weather baloons in the Atmosphäre? Always we se only the sun. Why?

They'll just say your line was bent!!

Anyone one who says flat instead of curved cannot possibly oversee the implications that their statement has on industries, science, and all other aspects that work perfectly with the globe model!

Oh, wow. 🍿

Gotta lie to flerth.

Very nicely and accurately earth curve proven ,,, again. It'll never sink in with these creatures, sad for them but hilarious for us.

Nice work, Dazza, Goodonyamate! I'm going to go out on a limb here, and hazard a guess that we've just observed what some would call a curved horizon. What do you think, flerfs? Could it be that far edge of the flat frittata world you imagine, but have never, in the history of photography, ever documented? Could it be atmospheric gases interacting with the aetherband? Could it be atmospheric lensing, even though there is no such thing as it's a wives tale? Could it be foreshortening of the distal aspects of the periferalary extents? Could NASA have infiltrated the Go-Pro company and preprogrammed all their cameras to depict any pictures of horizons as curved? Could it be high ride? Hmmm...🤔

Dazza, I'm sure if you gave the measure of the frame from side to side in miles and then the degree of the curve that you show in each frame and then run the numbers, it will come out to a perfect 360* - but even that won't make a flat head round 😁

But GoPro's famously have fish eye lenses, and our eyeballs are round, so somehow magically that makes everything we look at round too! To really see the flat earth you must pluck your eyes out and have someone stand on them. THEN you will see the curvature just fades away!

How can any of you watch this and not see the the curve bending around as the camera raises and lowers? What's wrong with you?

It would always be curved on a ball or on a flat plane. Thats how cameras work idk how people on both sides are too stupid to understand this

Ok...ok. I get it. The earth IS flat. LOL! Just kidding.

0:28 : flat of course the fish eyes camera on the ballon is pointed down ... not straight how it could pass to round to flat and flat to round ? only a fish eye can do that :) have a good day

They will tell you it’s a fisheye lens.

Any SpaceX video should be enough proof, or so I thought..

No curve لا انحناء لايوجد انحناء

Wriggle & squirm incoming. :)

Completely off mark dude.. You conveniently stop the video when the go pro camera show a slight curve but not the other way.. How can you justify a curve with a go pro lense.. You are waisting my time..
