A leading businessman who set out to disprove the idea that the Earth is flat actually became convinced by the conspiracy theory – and now claims that there is more land beyond the “ice wall” of the Antarctic that’s populated by extraterrestrials.

American conspiracy theorist David Weiss started out believing – as around 90% of others in the country do – that the Earth is a globe.

But over the course of his exploration into the community, he instead became an outspoken advocate of the Flat Earth theory.

He explained: “I was doing really well and I'm looking into this Flat Earth thing and I said ‘oh it's so stupid, of course we know the Earth is not flat. I mean how could it be flat?’ this is crazy what about all the other planets?

“But then I uh tried to disprove Flat Earth. I’m gonna prove all you Flat Earthers to be dum-dums and I'm just gonna be done with it, and that's how you become a flat earther."

One of the biggest turning points for David came when he found a map – allegedly made in Tibet tens of thousands of years ago – that shows the familiar continents we know today surrounded by a ring of ice.

Beyond that are a number of new lands, with names such as Hapis, Pitatia, and Thoth The Moving Island.

“All those extra continents, what’s going on out there?" David said.

“If there are people that live out there and they came to visit us, you might consider them an extraterrestrial from outer space”.

UFOs, he claims, are clearly from a base in these secret countries rather than some distant planet.

“If we're lucky enough to have a UFO coming from the closest star, which is magnitudes closer than any others and they come here through 25 trillion miles and then they crash in Roswell, all of that is nonsense.

“Space travel is nonsense because space doesn't exist – but if they're coming from the outer lands they're right here”.

He told podcaster James English that these secret countries are the answer to the question that Flat Earthers are most frequently asked – why would anyone try to hide the true shape of the planet?

“It's to control the human race,” David explained.

“Your thoughts create the world that you're in – and if they can limit your thoughts they can put you in the Matrix. The heliocentric system, the globe, is a matrix. It's a matrix for your mind and it limits your thoughts”.

He added that he finds it impossible to accept that the Earth is orbiting the Sun at 66,000 mph. The sun is not a huge incandescent ball of gas in space, he suggests, but actually a living entity.

The sun, moon, and other planets, “are alive,” he claims.

"I think they're sentient. I think they're part of this entire living system that we're in”.

Which explains why David is also doubtful that the Moon landings took place.

“I don’t see how anybody could possibly believe it, “ he said.

"There’s so many issues."

He maintains that we shouldn’t believe any of the footage from the Apollo missions because cameras "wouldn’t even work on the Moon”.

The Moon landings, like the scientific research that demonstrates the fact that the Earth is a spherical object, are a ploy “to keep you believing the lie,” David said.

“It’s to keep you believing that the government is your god”.
