Observations/Firmament

Firmament

The firmament, as defined, is the celestial arch or vault separating the earthly domain from what lies beyond. Dictionaries describe it as the sky's arch or vault. In the Bible, it is called the "firmamentum" in the Vulgate, translated from Hebrew as " raki'a " or "raqia, " meaning "expansion.". The biblical language depicts it as a solid expanse above us, dividing the waters above from those below.

It is plain that it was used to denote solidity and expansion. It formed a division between the waters above and the waters below (Genesis 1:7). The raki'a supported the upper reservoir (Psalms 148:4). It was the support also of the heavenly bodies (Genesis 1:14) and is spoken of as having "windows" and "doors" (Genesis 7:11; Isaiah 24:18; Malachi 3:10) through which the rain and snow might descend.

Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven..."
-Genesis 1:6-8.

Proofs of the Firmament?

CIA Documents describe measuring the firmament

In a declassified CIA document, various methods and apparatuses for measuring the firmament are described. Some of the formulas for determining the brightness of the sky describe that these were based on the assumption of a flat earth.

See "PDF: CIA declassified document CIA-RDP86-00513R001343720008-3" ^[1].

Antarctica is Off Limits

The Antarctic Treaty (1959) is created and agreed upon by 12 countries (Today that number is 53). This treaty makes it illegal for everyday citizens to travel to Antarctica, sure some cruises will take to you to certain areas, but you will not be able to go exploring on your own.

In fact, people have been arrested and vanished for unauthorized sailing in the arctic waters, Jarle Andhoy is one such person who was detained after he went searching for the missing Berserk vessel. Not only is sailing or trekking across Antarctica illegal but you can’t even fly a plane over it.

Something interesting to note, no one has ever flown over the South Pole, you would think someone with enough money would want the title of being the first person to achieve such a feat. But as you and I know it’s impossible to fly over the South Pole, as some of the pilots found out with Admiral Byrd.

Something must have been found in Antarctica, most likely the edge of the dome. With the Antarctic Treaty (1959), the area is shut down and kept by various countries around the world; the treaty of which has never been violated.

Operation Fishbowl

The next event to occur is “operation fishbowl project Dominic” (1962), translated it reads fishbowl of the Lord, a very peculiar name wouldn’t you say? During this operation, both the United States and the Soviet Union launch nuke after nuke straight up into the sky. Why? Many others in the truth community believe they were testing the boundaries of the firmament. Here’s a quote from Dr. John Mack, Dept. of Defense during operation fishbowl, “Nothing has or ever will penetrate the glass dome”.

All the nukes the US government launched into our atmosphere back in the fifties couldn’t even penetrate it. ^[2]

Rockets hitting the firmament?

The first ever amateur non-government rocket launch into “space,” called the "go fast rocket" was accomplished in 2014 by the Civilian Space Exploration Team, and provides some of the best Flat Earth video documentation ever. There’s a few things that I want you to notice while viewing it: ^[3]

The earth is FLAT. Flat as a pancake.
Look for the moon. Eerily, it’s up there, and so close to earth. The rocket was launched at 7:33am PST in the morning of July 14, 2014, in Black Rock Desert, Nevada, and if you take the time to do your own research, you’ll find that the moon was over Australia during flight. And so close to earth. If the earth is truly a spinning globe, then the moon would have been completely out of visibility from either North America or the sun. Again, don’t take my word for it. Please research this on your own.
Notice how the moon is lit too, despite being out of the suns range, but I digress.
Look for the white protrusion just beyond Australia’s horizon. Many suspect that to be Antarctica, while critics claim its a big-ass cloud well beyond the moon, exactly where Antarctica would be.
The rocket reaches an altitude of 73 miles, roughly so high as most Flat Earthers believe that anyone in NASA has ever flown. And then it smacks into something. We’re dealing with rocket propulsion and it doesn’t even slow to a drift. It just stops with a terrible crashing thud.

SpaceX launched a rocket that appeared to drag across the firmament for a while, leaving ripples like a boat traveling across water, before exploding.

The rocket accelerated higher and higher above the flat earth and toward the sun and moon a mere 3,000 miles away before suddenly bouncing off the glass-like dome containing the earth.

NASA footage showed the rocket staying on course for several minutes before suddenly "plunking" into a mysterious barrier covering the atmosphere and plummeting back down to earth.

There's been several cases where this has occurred. Take a look at the video called "7 Rockets Hitting The Dome or Firmament" ^[4]

Lasers

If there was no Firmament, these lasers would continue into space, making an X shape rather than bouncing back.

Sprites and ELVES

Sprites are a mysterious form of lightning that dances near the edge of "space". They are reddish bursts of electricity at altitudes of about 50 miles (80 kilometers) that last less than a second but are bright enough to see in daylight. These enigmas are often shaped like jellyfish, starting as balls of light that rapidly stream downward.

ELVES (“Emission of Light and Very Low Frequency perturbations due to Electromagnetic Pulse Sources”) are reddish, ultra-fast bursts of electricity bright enough to see during the daytime high in the Earth's atmosphere. But elves are ring-shaped halos that can spread to more than 185 miles (300 kilometers) wide that appear to spread across the surface of the firmament. ^[5]
