And why are you using an advert for Hennessy Whiskey referencing Piccard's balloon flight full of CGI imagery of a globe earth in a vain attempt to verify that Piccard saw a flat earth?In 1931, Auguste Piccard went up in a balloon to an altitude of 15781 m, not far above the cruising altitude of an airliner. At the altitude, Earth’s curvature is still very slight and difficult to see, especially through the small portholes in his chamber.
In a Popular Science interview, Piccard was reported to have said that Earth “seemed a flat disc with an upturned edge.”

I know Piccard said this, as I know a guy who has this magazine who has shown the actual print of what piccard said.

This is the nearest I could get of Piccards journey.
I can assure you he did, he's been quoted as saying 'It looked like a flat disc with upturn edges'.Not only that, Auguste Piccard always referred to the earth's shape as a globe and NEVER said that it is flat.
No, he said that's what it seemed. But he ALWAYS referred to its actual shape as a globe. He also said that if he had ruler, he would have been able to see the curve. You continue to spread misinformation.I can assure you he did, he's been quoted as saying 'It looked like a flat disc with upturn edges'.
And I repeat:I can assure you he did, he's been quoted as saying 'It looked like a flat disc with upturn edges'.
But he ALWAYS referred to its actual shape as a globe.
Show me where he has referred to this.
And I repeat:Show me where he has referred to this.

The source for this page, and indeed the whole book which is available to read, is here:
If you can find any mention of him seeing the earth as being flat with an upturned edge in the book, let me know!
You really need to investigate further than the claims of conspiracy theorists. They're always hiding something.
I also linked to Piccard's own book.I like how you've linked to Anti - Flat Earth page ..........Typical
And you link to anti - globe Earth sitesI like how you've linked to Anti - Flat Earth page ..........Typical
And you link to anti - globe Earth sites
And of course you ignore the YouTube interview as well where he states that he would have seen the curve had he had a ruler.
No, it’s you exposing your ignorance & deception
