Nice try :-)
Unfortunately, it doesn't explain the show running on my tv now. It has

been

bounced off a satellite which weighs significantly more than 1 kg.
Surely you're not saying that there are no satellites?
The dish wouldn't work unless the satellite was in the exact direction

the

dish is pointing.
That's empirical evidence of space travel right there.



Silly Laura. There are tens of thousands of AWACS flying
racetrack patterns all over the world. The television you are
seeing isn't being bounced off a satellite, it is beamed directly
from the AWACS to 'satellite' receivers. Of course, cable
television never receives any transmissions from space; those big
dishes you see at the cable offices are just for show. The real
signal comes on land-lines.

I thought everyone knew this.


Of course I realize you're pulling my leg, but if you weren't, I'd point out
that satellites are observable through a telescope.


Laura,

Have you done so? If so, how did you know it was a satellite,
and not a silver-colored Blackbird flying on the same trajectory?
If not, then how do you know that everyone with a telescope is
not in a giant conspiracy to perpetuate the lie of satellites.

I can keep this up all day, Laura; I've read enough kook
conspiracy theories to know that they are seamless, and all data
can be bent to fit any given theory.

Now try to imagine the earth-bound technology that could produce
Iridium flashes. Breathtaking science, and breathtaking
scientific conspiracy.
