Is it satire? Is it a “real” conspiracy that real people believe in?

All the countries are really very close together and the airline industry is just in on it. They’re really just flying around in circles to make it seem like the trip takes a long time. The Atlantic is only about 200 miles across, Europe is basically just over the horizon.
That’s what happened to Amelia Earhart, she found out about it and was going to tell everyone so they had to stop her.

It’s a parody conspiracy theory, in the same way as the flying spaghetti monster was a parody religion. People participated “eyes open” (aware it was parody, doing it as a joke) others adopted it “eyes closed” (believing it)
