bullshit. pix or it didn't happen.
Understood. Since it takes a telescope/camera combo, it would be shot through a telescope and the origin would be unverifiable. So, seeing for one's self would be the only true way to know, unless it was videotaped. Even then, image manipulation is near indistinguishable.

A great example? Ever been to Antwerp, Belgium? I have. I grew up in Brussels. So tell us, from what distance can you see the steeple of the Notre Dame there? Or is this 'great example' of yours nonsense whispers?

Go to Belgium, take pics, and report back. Anything less is redundant.
You would likely need to be in a crow's nest with a looking glass or telescope.

That wouldn't help. Go to Belgium, climb to the top of the Atomium in Brussels, and look in all directions with or without a telescope. If you can see as far as Antwerp, I'm a talking monkey.

So absurd, and can only be suggested by someone who has never been to Belgium.

That is a completely different set of circumstances.

Of course it is.

Going there to disprove your theory is too inconvenient. Better to make silly assumptions based on conjecture and supposition.
More like, better to go off on a tangent then to face the facts. Can anyone say, Strawman argument.

You suggested the Notre Dame in Antwerp can be seen from France, not me.

I'm telling you that is isn't even possible to see it from Brussels (within the same country).

Where do you get your 'facts'?
You misunderstood. Ship captains have reported seeing the spire from 150 miles out at sea.

Have you seen it, or are you satisfied with reporting other people's observations?

Get on a boat, approach the Belgian coastline towards Ostend, and when you you see the Notre Dame in Antwerp, record your GPS coordinates.

First though, you would have to be genuinely interested in facts rather than hearsay.
