David, don't be paranoid about the flat earthers, they're honestly not there to cause you trouble, they sincerely believe in the theory, and you have an audience (and they're thinking you might be open-minded about it), so they're 'approaching' you.
Since you're not interested in it they'll probably go away. Just saying, don't get all worked up and paranoid about them, they're harmless.
Edit: Also, I'm sure you understand people's disappointment that it wasn't a bigger fish, everybody's getting impatient. Tell your informant to give you something really good, if you want to maintain people's trust.
There are real flat earthers and fake shill ones. Certainly it could be either contacting him. Flat earth is used to discredit other investigations by shills. I do know some are real believers as well, just saying they aren't all real.
The dude who jumped out of the Red Bull thing a couple years back had a pretty good viewpoint. Earth was round. This "theory" actually makes me chuckle.
And I'm a completely red pilled open minded person.
I know we are deviating from Pgate. But since this issue was raised here and that Flat earth has been given a bad name by a number of poorly constructed arguments one must be open to this. If you truly enter this rabbit hole while discarding disinfo shills, you will realize that NASA has been lying to us very very cleverly. We have been subjected to a huge brainwashing campaign. The buck doesnt stop at P'gate. P'gate is just another window into the alternate world.
Try for a moment not to depend on images from space agencies. Then consider these arguments that question whether the earth is actually rotating:
Aircrafts use directional gyros to determine their heading. In short, mechanical gyros tend to hold their orientation in space independent of earth position, gravity etc. Therefore if the base of the gyro mount is rotated, the reading should indicate how much rotation has occured. In this video, the person used a commercial directional gyro used by aircrafts and placed it on flat table in a location in the northern hemisphere (53 deg latitude) and waited for a sufficient period of time to see if the earth rotation was registered. He basically did not observe anything. This means that the base of the gyro does not rotate. Which logically implies that the table did not rotate along with the earth. How is that possible?

If you allude to Foucault's pendulum experiment to prove earth's rotation, please note:
In the 1850s repetitions of foucault's experiment were made: https://maths.ucd.ie/~plynch/Publications/PRIAC.pdf
"The pendulum experiment is often described as simple, but there are several practical difficulties. Joseph Galbraith and Samuel Haughton reported irregularities in the precession rate. Non-uniformities in the bob and wire cause anisotropy, which results in oscillations of the swing-plane that can mask the effect of the turning Earth. Small transverse motions introduce anisochrony: since the period depends on the amplitude, the transverse motions are slightly faster than the long swing of the pendulum, causing precession of the elliptical trajectory; again, this can corrupt the signal due to the spinning globe. Finally, friction at the bearing and air resistance on the wire and ball damp and distort the motion."
Museum people have also claimed giving initial bias to set the pendulum in spherical motion. Foucault's pendulum experiment appears to be confirmation bias for the earth rotation model rather than proof.
I'll be happy to look into it, but I'd be much more inclined to believe that the things we don't completely understand relate back to the spiritual realm. Kind of like the matrix, where we aren't seeing the entire picture.

This I definitely agree with!
