Nah. If there's alterations of the video, experts would be able to pick that out even from the time-lapse.
Clearly? That's how they have all those straight lines on the craft and curvature of the Earth??? Try again.
So if I jump up for 1 second while the Earth is spinning, my momentum doesn't keep me in relative position and I'll come down 1466 feet away? That's your logic here.
Wide angle lenses do not curve things that are close to the camera - only things that a far away. You should learn how Camera lenses work first before you assume more crazy theories.
The point about jumping is that if the earth is spinning and the air is spinning as well, if you jump with enough force to overcome this gravity and are free of it for a second, why don't you land further to the east? It is because the earth is not spinning and there is no gravity - only weight. Once your momentum energy is used up, you simply fall back to the earth because you are heavier than the air. What you are suggesting is that no amount of force can overcome the effects of gravity, and that is simply not true.
