In the 1988 report Derivation and Definition of a Linear Aircraft Model, one of the reports mentioned in the viral video, the authors write, “This report details the development of the linear model of a rigid aircraft of constant mass flying over a flat, non-rotating earth." "Similarly, in pictures from space we can plainly see a noticeably curved Earth." "The Earth’s rotation can be seen by the naked eye while observing sunrises, sunsets and the position of the moon in the night sky," Margetta said in an email to USA TODAY. The reports in the post are real and use the term "flat, non-rotating earth." They are not, however, evidence NASA believes in the flat Earth theory, said Robert Margetta, a NASA public affairs officer. NASA has consistently said the Earth is a round, rotating globe, and the documents referenced here don't prove otherwise. The "flat, non-rotating earth" model is a common technique used to generalize mathematic equations, experts said.
