Date of sighting: April 3, 2026Location of sighting: Winterhaven, California, USASource: NUFORC #196922Guys check this out. A fleet of orb UFOs were glowing powerfully near the freeway in California causing drivers to feel panic and awe. The UFOs are in a fleet flying in formation and one by one they disappear. They never leave formation, just disappear from view. It’s one of the best UFO videos I’ve seen this year. Just like in the MJ12 reports and CIA files, they disappear one by one. They are 100% real.Scott C. Waring – UFO Sightings Daily Eyewitness states: Lights on object, Aura or haze…

While there have been hundreds of one-off or occasional writers for CSICOP/CSI whose work is important and valued, Skeptical Inquirer columnists have shown a special dedication to skepticism and the organization. They repeatedly contribute unique insight and information, often by deadline. In my capacity as an editor at SI, I’ve had the privilege of editing and working with some of the best and brightest skeptics in the world. From an editorial standpoint, while articles typically require much more lead time between submission and publication—sometimes a year or more—columns are (usually) shorter, timelier, and often more personal and idiosyncratic. Columnists have…

The author at a Bigfoot museum Like many skeptics, I’m fascinated by things people believe in—ghosts, psychics, astrology, reiki—but I’m even more intrigued by why they believe in them. In my experience, everyone believes (or has believed) something that’s a little “out there.” So, when my husband and I learned about a nearby Bigfoot museum on a recent road trip, I had to go. Our GPS led us on quite the adventure through farms and woods and onto increasingly remote gravel roads. We finally found a driveway and discovered the “museum” was in someone’s house. After knocking to no avail,…

Data center backlash. It appears likely that Maine will temporarily ban data centers. State legislators gave a thumbs up to bill text that would prohibit new construction on data centers in the state until November 2027. The bill is set to pass in the next few days.   Not surprisingly, tech companies and the local business community oppose the measure—and with good reason. “Things are going so fast. There’s a race against other countries,” Glenn Adams, who has built data centers in multiple states, told CNBC. “If Maine says ‘no,’ we’re saying no to all these companies, to potential developers and…

In one of the scariest moments in modern history, we’re doing our best at ScheerPost to pierce the fog of lies that conceal it but we need some help to pay our writers and staff.

Maybe the way out of California’s homelessness crisis is to prevent it in the first place,  rather than focusing only on people who have already lost their housing.  That’s the thinking behind a program in Santa Clara County — and others like it around…

For anyone who has been paying attention to the metastasizing national debt and the fiscal recklessness that has defined Washington for the past two decades, the latest proposal from the Trump administration can be met only by a mixture of disgust and grim predictability. Indeed, at a time of record debt and deficits the White House has floated a $1.5 trillion military budget for fiscal year 2027—a proposal more likely than not to find its way into the next National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). It is a prospect that should terrify every American taxpayer. For context, the most recent NDAA…

Canada Lynx stalking prey. Photo: Erwin and Peggy Bauer, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed Canada lynx as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act in 1999. Federal designation of “Lynx Critical Habitat” was intended to not only recover lynx but also recover the ecosystems upon which lynx depend for survival. Canada lynx are comparable to the bobcat in size and particularly distinguished by its long legs and large paws, which make it well-adapted to hunting in deep snow. It is highly dependent on snow-covered acres due to its specialized predator-prey relationship with snowshoe hares,…

Is any subgenre of journalism more debased and alienating than the student-loan sob story? If paying for college with heavily subsidized, federally backed loans was in fact the cause of the new, universal serfdom we hear so much about, you’d think that places like The New York Times would be able to scare up highly sympathetic young adults who tug at readers’ heartstrings like orphans in a Dickens novel. Instead, in stories like last week’s “Student Debt Burdened Them, So They Moved Abroad and Stopped Paying,” you get characters like 37-year-old Amanda Lynn Tully, who “graduated in 2017 with a master’s…
