Introduction

Dear Visitors,                                                                                                                                    April 21, 2017

Thank you for stopping at FlatEarthLunacy.com

As a scientist with college degree in Astronomy, minor in Physics and Mathematics, I was appalled to find folks telling outright falsities and presenting bad science to bolster suspicion of our known accepted reality - that the Earth is a beautiful blue globe.

This blog clearly shows scientific proofs that debunk everything that flat Earth proponents claim.  Here we also expose the comments those YouTube video channels delete, because they don't want you to see them.

The Earth is not flat.  That claim is a conspiracy theory perpetrated by ignorant people who have ulterior personal motives and agendas.

The Earth is a beautiful blue spheroid globe spinning on an axis 23.5° once each day, and orbiting the Sun every 365.25 days.

Mike Helmick - says that the August 21, 2017 solar eclipse was caused by nothing, but fails to explain how and why it happened


Dear Mike Helmick,

Fact check = You FAIL
Contrary to your understanding, spectrum analysis involves the real time splitting the Sun's light into its component rainbow colors, and recording that output. It is not done with Photoshop with standard color, or black & white images, as you contend.

It looks like this..

   This is what a small telescope Spectrograph looks like...

Eclipse shadow bands are caused by something physical moving in front of the Sun, just seconds before totality.

Shadow bands are thin, wavy lines of alternating light and dark that can be seen moving and undulating in parallel on plain-colored surfaces immediately before and after a total solar eclipse.

They are caused by the solar crescent thinning to a narrow slit, which increasingly collimates the light reaching Earth in the moments just before and after totality. 

The bands' rapid sliding motion is due to shifting air currents combined with the angular motion of the sun projecting through higher altitudes. The degree of collimation in the light gradually increases as the crescent thins, until the solar surface is completely covered and the light is extinguished.

Since diffraction shadow bands were observed and recorded as shown in the picture below - that proves a physical solid object moved between us here on the Earth, and the Sun. That object was the Moon!

PhotoForensic analysis of the following August 21, 2017 totality solar eclipse picture appears completely normal (see below).  The Moon nicely covers the radiant Sun while allowing the Sun's outer corona atmosphere to be seen.  There are no irregularites in these reverse images.

Stellarium planetary and night sky simulation software accurately shows the position of sky objects, from any place on the Earth, for any time.

The following snap shots show the sky at Hopkinsville, KY, where the eclipse was seen as Totality.  Shots are from before, during and after the eclipse, showing the positions of the Sun and Moon in the sky.  The Moon's position in the sky is depicted by a small black dot.  It shows the Moons central position, not the actual angular size if the Moon - which equals that of the Sun.   

Notice that at totality the Moon (small black dot) is positioned directly in the center of the Sun.

This series of snap shots shows conclusively that it is the Moon, approaching the Sun from the west, that blots out the Sun during total eclipse time.  

At 16:41 UT time, day before August 20th, the Moon is approaching the Sun from the west.   

The following sequence shows that the Moon moved in front of the Sun causing the solar eclipse.

   three.png


At 09:51 UT time, day of the eclipse, the Moon (black dot against the Sun) is still a bit west and north of the Sun

   five.png


At 13:20 UT time, at the time of Eclipse Totality, the Moon (black dot against the Sun) is smack dab in its center.  
This shows that the Moon is what covered / blocked out the Sun during eclipse totality.

   one.png


At 18:36 UT time, it's after the eclipse and the Moon (black dot against the Sun) has now moved off to the East.

   two.png   

At 13:02 UT time, day after August 22nd, the Moon is now further East of the Sun

   four.png



Conclusion:  
Your analysis of the eclipse is pie in the sky fantasy.  As has been forecasted many years ago, the Moon covered the Sun on August 21, 2017.  Millions of people attest to this fact.

Mike claims that his sky was filled with Chemtrails today.

Fact check = Chemtrails are a different conspiracy fantasy.  
Believing that every commercial jet airliner vapor trail is somehow laced with deadly chemicals, has never been proven and just makes no sense.   Since everyone breaths the same air, rich and poor alike, why would anyone expose themselves and their family to toxins?

The subtitles is the closed caption voice of Mike Helmick.

Mike explains next what he was expecting to see...

"What we are looking for today is maybe that Zetetic Earth glass black disc passing in from of the Sun, or maybe looking for the Moon and its angles, or you know, something besides what we did find.  Because folks, what we found passing in front of the Sun is absolutely nothing."

Fact check = You FAIL
Photoshop imaging and reverse imaging only shows whatever light is present.  Since the Moon does not give off its own light, it is not readily visible in the picture. Since the entire circular Sun is not visible, that indicates that something is blocking the Sun's light from reaching the ground camera.  IT'S THE MOON! 

   2017-08-24_16-31-26.png


The following analysis picture, TAKEN FROM YOUR VIDEO, correctly shows what light from the crescent Sun looks like...
If the Sun were not eclipsed by Moon, its entire round disk would be visible - but it's NOT.


   2017-08-24_19-34-19.png


Fact check = You FAIL
This is what the Full Sun in daylight (no eclipse) looks like, which obviously is not what you present in your video...

Depending upon where the Earth is in relation to the Moons shadow on it, determines the type of Solar Eclipse you will see:
