Strange UFOs seen over Montana, Canada, and Croatia, psychics behaving badly, and a forthcoming reality show featuring Flat Earthers were among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this past week.
Suggesting that this may truly be the golden age of television, it was announced this past week that a new online streaming service is creating a reality show wherein Flat Earthers are challenged to convince a panel of experts that the controversial conspiracy theory is correct. Produced by the ad-supported platform The Network, the program will chronicle the lives of five families who believe that the planet is not round and, amazingly, they will be provided $50,000 in resources to prove it. At the culmination of the show, titled Flat Earthers, each group will make their case to a panel consisting of a scientist, a theologian, and a cartographer in the hopes of swaying their opinion and taking home a cash prize.

This past week saw multiple intriguing instances of odd UFOs caught on film. First, in Montana, a witness with a military-grade night vision camera captured a curious cylindrical object cruising through the sky. Then, a Canadian couple filmed an odd cluster of fiery UFOs that appeared over a river in the province of Manitoba. Later in the week, an individual in the Croatian city of Rijeka spotted a particularly puzzling anomaly that appeared to be a blue triangular-shaped craft. Remarkably, the strange UFO was also picked up by a trio of timelapse webcams watching over the community, though the additional perspectives only made the object all the more mystifying.

Self-proclaimed psychics behaving badly made the news this past week by way of two unfortunate stories. In the first troubling tale, a Canadian woman revealed that she was duped into giving a staggering $46,000 to a fortune teller who claimed that evil spirits had attached themselves to her, but these sinister entities could 'fortunately' be removed provided she forked over a hefty fee. Even more unsettling was an incident in Florida where a psychic mysteriously showed up at the home of a woman and offered her a reading. While she passed on the odd offer, her mother-in-law took the clairvoyant up on the opportunity, which led to the family being robbed at gunpoint once they had let their guard down.
