According to Relativity, considering Lorentz Contraction...

For cosmic ray protons, for example, moving at 99.9999999999991% of speed of light, the Earth only appears 17 meters thick, essentially flat

I make the point in this blog:

So it’s all relative. ;)

But if the cosmic ray were to perform the experiment from all angles, it would conclude that the results are isotropic and that the earth is indeed spherical but with a diameter of 17 meters.
