If there are aliens, what will they look like?

A few years ago a TBN member had us convinced over a period of time that he believed the world was flat. After a few weeks he said something to the effect of "Suckers!!!!"

This time I fear that there is no joke involved.

Plenty of videos of people standing at the shoreline with a Nikon P900 camera that see ships well beyond 7 miles. Basically the reason you can't see an object with your eyes beyond a certain point is due to not having enough lens power or a telescope to see that far anyway.

And if you Believe there a boat goes behind the curve where is the curve going from your left to your right (horizon)?

Fixed that for ya and forgive me for assuming you know right from left from center.

If I launch into Saginaw Bay at Linwood on the West shore I can see The Charity Islands but not the Eastern shore. If I launch at Bay Port or Caseville on the Eastern shore I can see the islands but not the West shore. When I motor out to Big Charity I can see both shores from there and it's an almost eerie sight compared to viewing from either shore for decades.

At some indistinct point on the return the far shore will disappear from view but the islands never do. Yes I've boated out to the islands from both shores (stay on the North side of both islands or risk grounding on a rock!) and the result is the same every time.

Apologies for being objective vs subjective and relying on personal experience vs some guy said.

Can't wait for the reply....

Can't wait for tangible proof of a flat Earth from a better source than looking out the window or with only 10x zoom on a camera.
btw, my pond is flat so the whole planet must be. That's enough perspective, isn't it?

Next time you are flying at 30,000 ft you will see an obvious horizon (not curvizon)

You need a better airplane...

I'll take this guy's word for it...

He Flew the SR-71

A former Blackbird pilot now volunteers at the National Air and Space Museum.

"You’re at 85,000 feet. You see the curvature of the Earth—the beautiful blue. Black sky above you. You can see up to 350 miles in any direction. It’s a magnificent sight. And at night—think of the pictures you’ve seen from NASA or the Hubble—90 percent of the stars we could see up there, we can’t see on Earth because the atmosphere is filtering them out."
