Yeah, with the hill at 340ft like in your image I'm still not getting it to be visible with standard refraction, at the same time, if I use the higher observatory, then I'd expect the angles of the trees relative to the buildings to be different, but in the flickr images compared to the video...

Thanks again all for the help, I think I figured it out. Thanks to the flickr images I managed to extend the angle of the vantage point backwards to see if there were any other places where this viewing could take place, coincidentally, there was a hill on the same line, with an elevation of...

I just double checked, that's not the angle shown in the video, the playground tower is where they marked it, northwest of the shooting location.

Hmm, that does appear very similar, but it's facing a different direction from what they marked in their video. Could that potentially be the issue here?

Hmm, it's hard to know for sure, but that does look like it could be a water line, it still doesn't really look like the same angle to me though? I've brightened the start of the video which might give some more clues to where it was actually taken from:

Thanks everybody for the replies so far, it does seem as though they "mislabeled" where the photo was taken from. Looking at the street view from where they claim to have taken the photo...

Hi all, I've been linked this FE "proof" video and am having trouble debunking the visibility of the mine in the distance: Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0Lc5nBXXSY Using curvature calculators that take refraction into account, I can't seem to get the mine to be visible without...

Wondering if anybody has a more concrete explanation for the strange line outlined in the article below and attached in the image. The clouds near the North Pole make me think this is simply a stitching issue, but would love if somebody could chime in with some more professional opinions...

I was wondering if anybody had links to upper atmosphere relative humidity maps for places outside of the United States. The Instant Weather Maps link has proven indispensable in the past, but I can't find any for other countries/regions. Something like this...

I've been trying to find the scientific reason behind contrails 'breaking up' thin layers of cloud cover and so far haven't managed to find anything. It's something that I don't see too often, but attached is an example, I don't want to speculate regarding the cause, but have some ideas. If...

Thanks for the help, I will try to get the EXIF data from the person who posted it.

Taken near Palo Alto California, around 10:30PST, 14.03.2017 (unfortunately not my photo).

I see, it looks as if the storm or precipitation from the south is what is generating the cirrus that is blowing to the north? I'll try to find the weather for the region on that day.

At the beginning of the following video there is a satellite image of what appears to be tens (if not more) contrails spreading out to the east of Florida. The date that the imagery was taken was on January 28th, 2017 which is beyond what I'm able to find on Instantweathermaps.com . The...

wow, more detail than I was expecting. The P900 continues to impress, thanks for sharing.

Is it possible to 'pre-focus' the P900 to infinity to get clear shots of Venus? At certain times during it's cycle I can get clear shots of its phases with a 400mm + 1.4x extender on a Canon 5D2. From what I've seen of the P900, the zoom exceeds that, but I'm not sure if the quality is high...

One of the things that will clearly take off is that the ID of the perpetrator was once again left at or near the scene.

I agree, it almost looks as if it's tracked to the window.

Been seeing this gain some traction lately. The way the lights move with the camera movement lead me to believe that this is either CGI done through motion tracking, or that it's a reflection from the inside of the plane. Anybody with more experience care to chime in? Source...
