About Mikey Smith

Mikey Smith is the greatest flat earther of all time. One might say he's the G.O.A.T. of flat earth. Based in Saskatchewan near Regina, Mikey has become Canada's most famous flat earther. When he is not suing the Canadian Space Agency, he can often be found doing flat earth activism from his car adorned with signs and messages about flat earth. Being an avid astronomer, Mikey bought CA $500.00 binoculars which he uses to take pictures of the night sky, revealing the firmament and flat earth below. Even globies like MCToon keep their channel afloat only because everyone wants to see Mikey. Mikey's firmament photographs will be showcased in a museum--as soon as a gallery leaps at the opportunity to make room for Mikey's artwork, that is.

Lawsuit Against Canadian Space Agency

On October 6, 2025, Mikey submitted paperwork to sue the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) for CA$ 80,000,000. The CSA responded and requested that it be thrown out and that Mikey get charged CA$ 1,260 for court costs. On November 24, 2025, the The Honourable Madam Justice Christine Pallotta made a final ruling against Mikey Smith, reducing the fine to CA$ 700.

For comparison, most lawsuits in Canada last between one to three years. Having the judge make a ruling in about six weeks implies that Mikey brought forth a weak case with little chance of success.

On November 26, Mikey was doing a livestream and was asked about the ruling in the case. Instead of answering, he deleted the messages. He then called the chat asking about the lawsuit the r-word. ^[1]

Eventual Response To Losing Original Lawsuit

After almost two weeks of silence, Mikey made a live stream video on December 10, 2025. He repeatedly asked people to talk to him about the lawsuit instead of going to other sources. He said this without a hint of iroony after deleting questions about the lawsuit in his last live stream and ignoring subsequent phone calls. He then kicked non-flat earthers from the chat in the current live stream for saying hello.

He claims the lawsuit is still going strong despite the judge giving her final verdict. He further claims that he talked to his lawyer on Monday and is going to appeal. An appeal would be part new case, new court file, and a new docket number; so why Mikey thinks the lawsuit is still ongoing is a mystery. He also said he is sending pictures and videos of sirius to the judge by the end of Monday despite the fact that appeals go to a different judge, and said appellate judge would not be interested in additional evidence from the lawsuit.

He called the Honourable Justice Pallotta a "moron."

Analysis of Lawsuit

Mikey sued for 80 million dollars because he claimed the Canadian Space Agency faking space caused him mental anguish. There is no rule nor regulation stating a Canadian agency can't lie about space, and there would be no way to show the agency knew ahead of time that their lies would specifically target Mikey thirty years later after the agency was founded. So even if Mikey could convince the court that the Canadian Space Agency was faking space, the agency would still not be liable to pay Mikey any money.

Regardless, Mikey's claim lacked any specifics about who in the agency was faking space, how it was being done, and for what reason. This would have made discovery almost impossible. It would be a bit like suing becuase someone you don't like did a bad thing, somewhere, at some time, but not knowing any details over that.

In addition, the 80 million dollars set by Mikey appears to have been a made-up number without any real world basis as to why Mikey should have been afforded that amount of money. Mikey begs for gas money on YouTube--there's no way he personally paid 80 million in taxes to the Canadian Space Agency alone.

Analysis of Appeal

Based on Mikey's statement of sending pictures of sirius to the court instead of attempting to show a fault in procedure, Mikey has an almost zero chance of winning an appeal. Even if Mikey were to appeal correctly, he would still have a slim chance of winning. Since Mikey, indeed, could never supply an amendment that would create a valid legal claim, an appeals court would throw out Mikey's appeal. The court will then likely increase the costs placed upon Mikey to between CA $1,500 and CA $3,000, and he would potentially be warned about filing vexatious proceedings.

Allegation of Sexual Assault

There is an allegation that Mikey Smith was once arrested for groping a 16- or 17-year-old, but received no conviction or sentencing.^[2] It might be speculated that the lack of consequences was because of diminished responsibility due to mental illness.

Landlord Harassment

In October of 2021, Mikey rented a unit in Pense, Saskatchewan. According to the landlord, Mikey developed "unreciprocated feelings" for her. He sexually harassed her by entering her bedroom several times, uninvited. Eventually, he became hostile and abusive towards the landlord. Mikey then made YouTube videos where he gave the name and address of the landlord. In at least one video, he said the landlord should be hit with a sledgehammer. The landlord reported the activities of Mikey to the police.^[3]

Laser Safety Hazard

Mikey owns a seven watt, blue laser. The device is a class IV laser capable of causing eye damage by peering directly at the beam or looking at the laser dot off of a surface. He does not use standard laser protection equipment. He states on several streams that he shines his laser into the sky--in particular towards the moon at night. He does not appear to check for ADS-B traffic to ensure no air traffic is overhead. In one video, Mikey turns on the laser indoors without eye protection with his cat in the room. ^[4]

Stealing Credit for Discovering Moon Worms From Ryan S

In November of 2025, Ryan S participatied in a livestream with Roger Ledwell discussing Ryan's discovery of moon worms. In the stream, Ryan lamented that Mikey never gave him credit for discovering moon worms and further claimed Mikey was a "dumbass" for not noticing the moon worms in the first place. On November 9th, 2025, Mikey Smith did a livestream where he attempted to steal credit for the discovery of moon worms from Ryan S.^[5] Mikey later created a shorter video attempting to steal credit from Ryan S again.^[6]

Ryan S responded in the comments to Mikey's shorter video: "Mikey, I love you.... but c'mon bro.... I'm only trying wake you up... Just calm down dude... bashing you? No... I'm not the first, only or the last..."

If you wish to see Ryan’s moon worms yourself, the video is on Mikey’s YouTube feed. The video is titled “what the F is that at 104 sec PART - 2.” Some claim it’s not a worm but a point-like light source such as satellite. Others might point out that the video is using a long exposure so a satellite would leave a streak on the frame. And furthermore, doubters might also point out that the up and down wiggles coincide directly with the shaky camera work. However, if you relax your critical thinking faculties, maybe it could be moon worms.

Attempt To Measure The Temperature of the Sun With an Infrared Thermometer

In 2022, Mikey attempted to measure the temperature of the sun by pointing an infrared thermometer at the it.^[7] More specifically, he pointed a 35 dollar Titan 51408 high temperature infrared thermometer, held by hand, and took a reading.^[8] The thermometer appeared to be peaking at about 200 degrees celcius. The instruction manual states that the device is rated for temperatures up to 315 degrees celcius while the Sun's corona exceeds over a million degrees celsius. The manual further states that the distance-to-spot ratio is set at 8:1. ^[9]

The distance-to-spot ratio means that an area read by the device at an 800 meter distance will have a diameter of 100 meters. With the sun's distance being aproximately 150 gigameters away from Earth, Mikey would have been attempting to read the temperature of an object with the diameter of 18.75 gigameters. The diameter of the sun is only 1.39 gigameters. So, Mikey attempted to measure an object in the sky with a diameter 13.5 times larger than the sun, making the measurement physically meaningless.

Of course, Mikey will claim that the Sun is much closer, but the distance doesn't matter. The average angular size of the sun is about 0.53 degrees. The formula for determining the diameter of an object based on its distance and angular size is D = θ x d.

D = Diameter of spherical object.
θ = Angular size in radians of the object.
d = Distance to the spherical object.

0.53 degrees is 0.00925 radians, so the equation for the Sun becomes D = 0.00925 x d. Therefore the Sun will always have a distance-to-diameter ratio of about 108:1 regardless of how far away someone thinks it is.

Astronomy

Mikey Smith thinks he is one of the greatest astronomers of all time, believes he has taken images of the firmament, and claims he has shot the first "true" images of stars. He believes he is clever for using binoculars instead of a telescope and taking pictures of the night sky using his phone's camera. It should be noted that retailers often sell binoculars designed for astronomy and they sell phone attachment accesories for said binoculars. Yet, somehow, Mikey thinks he's the first to discover this.

Mikey Digitally Manipulates His Images While Demanding Others Do Not

Mikey Smith demands raw, unedited images from others while only presenting edited images himself; this is likely due to profound ignorance rather than deception. Mikey takes his astronomy photos with his phone using the default camera application. The default camera application does heavy processing on the image before saving it.^[10]

The basic Android imaging pipeline includes:

Detection and correction of hot pixels.
Debayering the sensor data to produce color values.
Noise reduction--often involving stacking multiple images, applying a convolution matrix, and/or machine learning algorithms AKA AI.
Vignetting and lens shading reduction.
Geometric correction to correct for lens distortion.
Color and white balance correction.
Tone curve adjustment to match colors to the device's color output profile.
Edge enhancement to sharpen the image.
Conversion into JPEG which is a lossy format which introduces compression artifacts into the image.

Smartphone manufacturers may introduce additional features into the image processing pipeline. One common algorithm commonly added to smartphones is to combine multiple exposures to create HDR images. ^[11] Some features have even been known to completely fake astronomical objects such as Samsung's AI Moon enhancement. ^[12]

The Flerfmobile

Mikey drives a silver 2016 Subaru Outback which he adorns with magnetic decals, led lights, and large signage claiming Earth is flat. ^[13]

The Chicken Squack Assault

On the evening of June 28, 2025, Mikey was harassing people from his car about flat earth. A stranger which Mikey insulted then assaulted Michael in his car. The stranger walked up to Mikey's open window and threw punches towards his face. None landed, and Mikey was not hurt. During the incident, Mikey squacked the rubber chicken he was holding multiple times. The stranger then walked away back to his own car. The assaulter came back to appologize to Mikey, but Mikey rebuffed the appology. Mikey then reported the incident to the police. ^[14] The incident has been forever immortalized in the song, Squack That Chicken, Mikey Smith.

Astrophotography Analysis

Mikey's Photos
Photo	Analysis
	About: This is Mikey's claim to fame. He tried to have it placed in a museum. The text in the image says, "Your life has meaning, SIRIUS." Taken literally, it reads as someone giving SIRIUS a pep talk. It's obviously an out-of-focus star--presumably Sirius--where the lenses and coating thereof are creating a rainbow effect. Origin: Downloaded from the True Earth Wiki. The filename was Screenshot 20240818 173956 Gallery.jpg. Metadata Strings: Android UP1A.231005.007.S906WVLS6EXF8 2024:08:18 17:39:56 313f75c1-fc26-4dc1-9f69-5af1b7c85b8b Samsung_Capture_InfoScreenshot Captured_App_InfoeyJjb21wIjoiY29tLnNlYy5hbmRyb2lkLmdhbGxlcnkzZFwvY29t LnNhbXN1bmcuYW5kcm9pZC5nYWxsZXJ5LmFwcC5hY3Rpdml0eS5HYWxsZXJ5QWN0aXZpdHk ifQ==SEFHk SEFT {"comp":"com.sec.android.gallery3d\/com.samsung.android.gallery.app.activity.GalleryActivity"} Signs of Manual Post-processing: Not only has Mikey manually altered the image to add the text, the out-of-focus star itself was digitally cropped out and placed onto a pure black background. This can be verified by stretching the levels of the image to the extreme. If this were a real photograph, the background noise would pop. Instead, we clearly see the outline Mikey used to extract the image of Sirius and that the background is pure black.
	About: This Mikey's second claim to fame. Like many of Mikey's photos, it's a slightly out-of-focus star with the camera lenses refracting the light to create a rainbow effect. The caption says "The star Capella" which taken literally means there are many Capellas, but this one is the star. The "wwwtiktok.com231975" text on the bottom is Mikey's user account name on TikTok. Origin: Downloaded from the True Earth Wiki. The filename was 5a44f967f2244287b94e86ade58b5cc9 0.jpg. Metadata: All Metadata has been stripped from the image. Signs of Manual Post-processing: Performing a principal component analysis of the image shows a lack of noise outside of the star. The background was replaced with a nearly full black background. The RGB value of the background in hex is 010001. There is no deviation. This is on top of adding the text, of course.
	About: This is titled "Star Sirius." One assumes this is the star Sirius as seen through a pair of binoculars and captured on a cell phone. The lenses and their coating create a rainbow effect around the overexposed and out-of-focus star. Origin: Downloaded from the True Earth Wiki. The filename was Screenshot 20240608 152619 Gallery.jpg. Metadata Strings: Android UP1A.231005.007.S906WVLS4DXB1 2024:06:08 15:26:19 2b85fef0-6cd9-45f6-bcb3-0ae56b52b97d Samsung_Capture_InfoScreenshotSEFHk SEFT Signs of Manual Post-processing: Performing a noise analysis, it is clear the author digitally removed the top and bottom of the image and replaced it with pure black bars.
	About: The description given to this photo is Polaris.^[15] Though, the description also refers to it as "star sirius"^[16] It's another out-of-focus star with rainbow effects from the optics. Origin: Downloaded from the True Earth Wiki. The filename was Sirius IMG 20240226 172935.jpg. Metadata: All Metadata has been stripped from the image. Signs of Manual Post-processing: The Android video player user interface is visible in the photo. If the filename wasn't a big enough give away, the UI elements show that this is a screenshot. A side effect of the photo being a screenshot of a video is that the compression artifacts within the video itself will be present regardless of the quality of the jpeg.
	About: Uploaded to Mikey's TikTok account and titled "Firmament 100%", this photo seems to show blurry, out-of-focus stars from beneath a dimly lit sky. Mikey describes the photo as follows: "Firmament revealed taken with 20x80 binoculars night mode on Samsung." Target: A patch of the Milky Way in the Cygnus constellation. Right Ascension: 19h 59m 36.525s Declination: +30° 46' 08.341" Origin: Downloaded from TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wwwtiktok.com231975/photo/7459095434762505477 The original upload date is January 12, 2025. Metadata: All Metadata has been stripped from the image. Night Mode: Samsung describes Night Mode as a process by which machine learning algorithms combine 30 images into a single shot in addition to using other heavy post-processing techniques.^[17] Light in Sky: Boosting the saturation of the image shows clear red and green hues. Green is the most common color of auroras and occurs due to ionized oxygen between 100 and 240 km in altitude. Red lights are due to ionized oxygen above 240 km. Dim auroras can often look like light pollution without color boosting. Signs of Post-processing: Mikey states that he took the photo in Night Mode which applies heavy post processing to the image. In addition, dark circles surround stars which indicates the use of an edge-sharpening post-processing filter.
	About: This untitled photo is descibed by Mikey as being taken on 20x80 binoculars, using night mode, then manually light balanced. He claims this is proof the firmament is real and that space is fake. Target: An image of The Double Cluster in Persius. Right Ascension: 02h 19m 19.058s Declination: +57° 12' 07.172" Origin: Downloaded from TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wwwtiktok.com231975/photo/7427216319738645766 . The original upload date is October 18, 2024. Metadata: All Metadata has been stripped from the image. Night Mode: Samsung describes Night Mode as a process by which machine learning algorithms combine 30 images into a single shot in addition to using other heavy post-processing techniques. Light Pollution: Increasing the saturation of the image brings out the slight green tint of the light pollution indicating that Mikey also photographed a dim Aurora in addition to the stars. Signs of Post-processing: Mikey states he used Night Mode to take this image and that he further adjusted the light balance. Dark circles around stars indicate edge-sharpening occured.
