Evidence for Electromagnetic Acceleration
There are several pieces of evidence that light is bending.
High Altitude Horizon
JTolan has provided interesting videos where a camera with an infrared filter is taken up on a plane and he is able to see much further than the Round Earth Theory should allow. In his Gulf of Mexico video an analysis is performed showing that, although he can see various bodies much further than should be seen in his videos, the horizon is not where it should be on either a Flat Earth or a Round Earth prediction. According to a Flat Earth prediction the horizon should be at 0 degrees eye level. According to a Round Earth prediction, the horizon should be at 3.2 degrees below eye level.

"Globe Horizon" is the prediction for the globe. "Globe Horizon (4/3R)" is the globe earth + standard refraction theory.
If the above analysis is accurate it would suggest that either:
- The earth is round and massive downwards bending of light is occurring
- The earth is flat and massive upwards bending of light is occurring
- Light is traveling in straight lines and the earth is something else (ie. a globe much larger than claimed, other)
If the earth is flat, JTolan's work would suggest that light is bending upwards on a large scale.
Analysis
Location
According to the author, he is 33,000 feet in altitude. His GPS and flight path shows that he is is 71 miles from the start of Joseph Bay and 79 miles from the far end of it.
Degrees Below Eye Level Scale
On a flat earth with traditional perspective theory and an eye level horizon, an object in the distance must be at an altitude of 30,000 feet in order to be at eye level with an observer who is at an altitude of 33,000 feet.
Knowing that the St. Joseph Bay is 71 miles, or 374,880 feet, from the observer, we may use an angular diameter calculator to find that 33,000 feet at a distance of 374,880 feet away makes up a space of 5.04 degrees. Therefore the start of St. Joseph Bay is 5.04 degrees below eye level. Performing the same for the end of St. Joseph Bay, 33,000 feet at a distance of 79 miles, or 417,120 feet, makes up a space of 4.531 degrees.
Subtracting the two, an equidistant scale may be created upon the image with the space between the start and end of St. Joseph Bay representing 0.509 degrees, which is reflected in JTolan's scale above.
