Why does nobody talk about the time it takes to fact-check a single 'flat earth' video?
I got into a debate online about the whole flat earth thing and decided to properly debunk one of their 'proof' videos from 2019. It took me over four hours just to find the original satellite images they mislabeled and track down the actual flight paths they claimed were impossible. How do people have the energy to make this stuff up when it takes a normal person half a day to unpick one claim?

That 2019 video was debunked by a pilot friend in like twenty minutes.

Pilot friends aren't the final word on everything. That video showed some wild maneuvers that don't match any known aircraft. The way it moved, instant acceleration, no visible propulsion. A twenty minute debunk from one guy doesn't explain all the weird details. Sometimes the simplest answer is that we just don't know what it was.
