Flat Earth BOMBSHELL: Australia is 'FAKE' country invented to cover up mass murder

AN OUTRAGEOUS new “flat Earth” theory suggests that Australia is actually just one big hoax.

The latest bonkers conspiracy theory doing the rounds suggests Brit officials dreamed up Oz to cover up a brutal atrocity.

According to one flat-Earther, the land down under is all just smoke and mirrors, and a ruse we thought responsible for greats like Kylie Minogue and Hugh Jackman.

“Australia is not real,” they wrote in a viral Facebook post.

“It’s a hoax, made for us to believe that Britain moved over their criminals to someplace.

CONSPIRACY: Flat Earthers are claiming Australia is not real

“It’s a cover up for one of the greatest mass murders in history.”

The post – which has been shared 50,000 times – goes on to claim that anyone who thinks they’ve visited Australia is “terribly wrong”.

Australia, a member of the British Commonwealth, is home to more than 24 million people.

The “Australia is fake” theory surfaced last year but has its roots in a Flat Earth Society forum thread from 2006.

Moreover, the post reckons all Australians are nothing more than computer generated personas and if you've ever been Down Under yourself: "you're terribly wrong".

The pilots are also apparently all in on it – and have just been flying you to parts of South America all these years.

Those who believe the Flat Earth theory claim our planet is shaped like a flat disc instead of a sphere.

The leading theory suggests Earth is a disc with the Arctic Circle in the centre and Antarctica, a 150-foot-tall wall of ice, around the rim.

Nasa has proved that the Earth is round using satellites, GPS and images from space, but “Flat Earthers” believe the space agency is lying.

Theorists claim that satellite images and evidence pointing to a spherical Earth are part of a “round Earth conspiracy” orchestrated by Nasa and other government agencies.

Proponents of the bizarre theory also claim the Earth is stationary in space rather than orbiting the sun.

A number of high-profile celebrities have made the shock revelation that they believe in the Flat Earth conspiracy.

Former England cricketer Freddie Flintoff revealed last year he couldn't stop listening to a podcast called “Flat Earthers” and was beginning to believe their theories.

Thousands of Flat Earth believers gathered in Birmingham this weekend at the UK’s first ever conference.

The convention, which took place over three days, saw nine speakers take to the stage to explain their theory as to why the Earth is flat.

One speaker even claimed he has proven gravity doesn't exist.
