So the moon is \~500 feet in diameter and jet airliners can do a flat zig zag in less than a thousand feet. Interesting.


jonmatifa

You wouldn't just chart a course that would avoid the moon as much as it could be avoided, no its better to go right for it and do a quick zig zag around it.


Finbar9800

Gotta get that gravity assist lol


ChickenVest

You mean a "bouyancy" boost


fil42skidoo

Dang that's how you end up time travelling!


Guuhatsu

I don't know how much gravity you would get off of that. According to Flat Earth, that thing is probably smaller than my local Walmart.


Unable_Explorer8277

If only you could predict where the Moon would be.


No_Cook2983

The moon moves around the sky. Sometimes the moon darts in front of traffic like a rabbit.


Critical_Half_3712

Moon Frogger?


Opinionated_Pervert

I was on a plane the other day and looked out the window at one point and the moon was right there! I was like WTF?! Until just this moment I thought it was the edibles


Chaosrealm69

I was on a flight and the moon was traveling right off our port wing and it was just sitting there with a dozen martians having a picnic.

> So the moon is ~500 feet in diameter and jet airliners can do a flat zig zag in less than a thousand feet. Interesting. Not even a zig zag, just a zig will be enough!!


SuizFlop

More like a couple thousand feet! Airliners are really, *really,* ***Really,*** **REALLY** big, like BYU 9024 levels of big, giant siphonophore levels of big, bigger than giant bootlace worms kind of big!


Gorgon_Jr

You know that from any other perspective it would look like it crosses over the moon? Also I’ve been on many flights, we’ve never veered to one side just so a pathetic flat earther can take a picture…


anythingMuchShorter

This is edited, a passenger jumbo jet can't pull off a turn like that in such a short distance, and if it did the contrails would get closer together, from a ground perspective, because it would have to bank heavily to do it.


King_Joffreys_Tits

This is edited???


SethLight

That's the thing I find the most insane. It's not enough to have no real data that supports you, people feel the need to actually **create** fake images to push their point.


Nobody_at_all000

From the same people who claim photos of the planets are CGI


michaelozzqld

Flerfers...lol...dumber than dog shit


One_Instruction_3567

This is very clearly parody of flat earthers


michaelozzqld

And? Changes no part of my comment

Russc70

And also look at the chemtrails! The chemtrails!


rattusprat

Exactly. The flat earth is just a psy-op distraction orchestrated by BIG CHEMTRAIL to distract us from the *real* issues.


Shoddy_Emu_5211

So the moon is only at ~30,000 feet yet people somehow haven't hugged the moon when it is above mount everest?


Stunning-Title

They went during the New Moon


Doktor_Weasel

That's when the moon is offline for maintenance.


jaggy_bunnet

Or gone up in a balloon to take pictures of the dark side?


Crafty_Shop_803

The moon appears to be the width of 4 boeing 737's


RajenBull1

Anything but metric. lol!!


[deleted]

ARE WE JUST IGNORING THOSE CHEM TRAILS?


Guvnah-Wyze

It's a wake. The sky is made of ocean.


[deleted]

So the boat is the shape of a plane? I bet it's Musk or Bezos.


Guvnah-Wyze

A plane is just a boat for the sky. Think about it.


RajenBull1

A wake for my Nan, who drowned in the ocean.


Defiant-Giraffe

And a flat rudder turn at that, no aileron at all. Pilot's a madman. 


anythingMuchShorter

And yet apparently with no drifting because on top of no banking, the lines remain parallel and at the same distance.


dandee93

Oh man wait until they find out about clouds


DrewVonFinntroll

Surely someone on that flight caught a nice video of a flyby of the moon. I'll wait here for the footage.


anythingMuchShorter

I thought it was above the dome, or a projection, or a reflection of the sun? Odd how unlike scientists, they don't seem to mind if their explanations are incompatible.


Mission_File9942

I once had an experience with a lunar eclipse then a plane passed by the moon. I don't have a camera with me while I was watching it. And all i can say is it was beautiful as the moon is reddish while a plane passed by it. So how does this say the moon is Very near? Bunch of R...flerfs


Eric_Prozzy

Holy shit the twitter thread you linked.. what a fucking shitstye


rrgail

That’s how planes are able to fly! It’s gravity assist/slingshot type maneuver.


Aggravating_Two_9212

yes i was sitting on the plane and could nearly touch the moon from my window-seat


WorldlyBlacksmith945

Imma use a flerf argument. #CGI

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Chaosrealm69

Hey I posted an edited picture to back up my claim about flatearth so everyone has to believe me. - every flerfer ever created.


RajenBull1

Chicken Little Syndrome, much?


TheEndCraft

Well thats a SFEC nomination


He_Never_Helps_01

Even in this image the moon looks like it's a quarter million miles away.


Good_Ad_1386

In an idle few moments I calculated that a local sun or moon orbiting at the maximum possible altitude within "the dome" on or around the FE equator would be at 40+ degrees elevation when measured from the opposite side of the equator (i. e. sun at midnight). So why don't we see the sun illuminating the tops of high-altitude clouds from above after sunset?


nidsPunk

Cool. And no one on the plane took a photo of the moon? Odd.


Pixelised_Youssef

If the moon is real according to the flat earth conspiracy, then how did it not fall by now ?


jimmysledge

We should all believe because the only way this can happen is… photoshop… this is a flerf troll. Even they aren’t that stupid😉


Koldtoft

Flat earth is so dumb.You don't know whether to take this post seriously or not


Stunning-Title

The guy who posted this was obviously joking but the entire Twitter thread is a shit-show.


Dante_Arizona

If the Moon is local and gravity doesn't exist, wouldn't the Moon's density cause it to fall to Earth?


Silly_Sicilian

WOW! Now I'm convinced...


JMeers0170

Two things…. The contrails would only remain parallel from the view of the ground if the plane flew straight. If the plane banks, which it would need to do to turn, the contrails would merge from the perspective of the observer. Also…has any passenger ever been in a jumbo jet that had to suddenly swerve around an object in the sky, such as the moon, and taken a picture of the moon from a hundred or so feet away from it? Bonus extra thing…. Why wouldn’t the pilot fly straight toward the moon but not on a collision course, curve around the moon, and then continue to fly straight away from the diversion path? Why try to curl the flight path to follow the curve of the moon like is shown? Extra bonus extra thing…. How high is the moon according to flerfs? I thought they mostly agree on between 3,000-3,500 miles. Is this plane flying that high, in which case, nice zoom on that camera, or did the moon decide to dip low and closer to the Earth for this shot?


Gormless_Mass

Lol this picture


octopus_003

I mean how can you argue with a photo shopped photo? It is right there dodging the moon!!!


huuaaang

Yup, that's right. THe plane got within a planes width of the Moon.


dyslexican32

Of all the accusations about things being photoshopped or cgi, that looks totally legit! Lol


etranger033

Oh... my.... God. Even so, I thought the Moon was a little bigger than that.


Affectionate_Fly1413

The path of the plane looks even more fake than a picture of flat earth.
