A prominent Flat Earther, Jeran Campanella, has publicly admitted he was wrong after visiting Antarctica to investigate claims about the Earth’s shape. Campanella, known for his appearances in Flat Earth documentaries, embarked on the trip to disprove the existence of the 24-hour sun over Antarctica, a phenomenon impossible on a flat Earth model. Funded by a skeptic, the trip left him stunned as he witnessed the midnight sun, confirming the sun’s continuous circle over the southern continent during summer.
In a YouTube video, Campanella stated, “Sometimes you’re wrong in life,” as he acknowledged the evidence. He added, “I honestly believed there was no 24-hour sun… I honestly now believe there is.” Despite his admission, Campanella remains skeptical about entirely abandoning his Flat Earth beliefs, leaving it to others to interpret what this evidence means.
The revelation has sparked debates online, with some accusing prominent Flat Earthers of seeking attention rather than genuinely pursuing truth. Reddit users humorously speculated that such stunts are attempts to secure free trips or other benefits under the guise of conspiracy.
This incident has reignited discussions about the persistence of Flat Earth theories in the face of overwhelming evidence. For many, it’s a reminder that sometimes even staunch beliefs can be upended by undeniable facts.
