There are many, many videos which depict this exact same occurrence.
Just as you were able to see the ship sink below the horizon with your unaided eye, once binoculars were used the ship appeared again and eventually seemed to ...[text shortened]... u likely were able to see a much shorter ship many miles out to sea without even a foot of loss.
That is one REALLY stupid argument. If there was a REAL flat Earth we would not be limited to seeing only a few miles or 100 miles, we could see with telescopes 1000 miles easy.

Show me THAT if you think you can.

At some point the density of the air will cause a haze which obscures the visibility of distant objects.
How far?
Depends on the density and the weather.
In the case of the video, one could imagine being able to distinguish that island from a few hundred more miles away under those conditions.

Well then, get yourself a good telescope and prove it. Shouldn't be hard for you since you KNOW Earth to be flat. We should be able to see Denver from Topeka, easy.

So many easy questions you refuse to answer. Why are there sunrises and sunsets? Why do we have time zones? If the answer is the sun is a few miles across and whatever, 1000 miles up going in a circle around the planet, there would never be a sunset much less a sunrise since the sun would be visible all over the planet at the same time.

Explain THAT one away flatasser.

Countless? I just gave you one example from personal experience, so I guess you think I am lying.

BTW, if your sun is close to Earth somehow going in a circle above Earth, why are there sunrises and sunsets? You should see the sun 24/7 since it would ALWAYS be above the horizon. Bit of a problem for you flatasssers.

Also there would never be seasons, ...[text shortened]... ht, you need to chastise this idiot so you aren't more of a laughing stock than you already are.
Everyone knows the moon is much closer than 240000 miles away.

It is also hollow and shape shifting reptiles live inside.

There are plenty of videos on youtube of them popping up out of craters.

I guess NASA is totally wrong then with that laser that shoots photons to the retroreflector set in place by Apollo astronauts. Since we know the speed of light very well we can meaure the distance to the moon within an inch or centimeter and can see exactly how far away it drifts each year, about an inch and a half per year consitently.

I guess they are just making all that crap up so they can keep their money flowing in.

But I know you are just being facitious, being the freak's buddy and all, you have to be seen to be sucking up to him.

Likewise, I'm sure.
Why is it so hard for you to answer a question which is readily verifiable?

Yeah, I think they were not looking at Ohau or kawai whichever other one they were 'looking' at. For instance, I didn't see a compass saying what direction the camera was facing and I have no idea what the island would look like even from 10 miles out much less 100.

I know we see Santa Catelina from Venice Beach where I also used to live but that is only ...[text shortened]... he beach or anything under about 1000 feet or so.
So why do we have sunsets in your mythology?

Well, let's do a little investigating then, shall we?
On the island of Kaui, there are three airports: HI01, Lihue and Port Allen.
Working clockwise from the most northern part of the island, HI01 is first, followed by Lihue to the eastern side and then Port Allen which is on the southern part of the island west of HI01.
Directly west of Kaui is one of the smallest of the islands, Ni'ihau.
A private island owned by the Robinson family since 1864, it has no airports or any retail establishments.

In the video, the observer is clearly looking east to the sunrise.
There is also part of the recording from an airport which necessarily must be on the eastern side of an island, as it also records looking in that direction.
We know from the direction of the rising sun that the observer cannot be on O'ahu, as its two airports, HIA and Kalaeloa are far too south and positioned too far inland from the rising sun in order to have it seen from the water.
This leaves only one island and one airport from which the observer could possibly be recording: O'ahu at the Lihue Airport.
The remaining islands all fall too far south of one another in order to provide the shot we clearly see in this video, in addition to either having no airport at all or none situated as pictured.

So there goes that theory, huh.

Try looking at the NAshole ISS videos.

I am asking you to verify it, as my conclusions are based upon the commonly agreed upon formulas for the rate of curvature.

I am asking you to produce the formula used to calculate the curvature of the earth based upon the text book dimensions given to the earth's circumference.
