Robert Sheaffer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Sheaffer is a freelance writer and a leading investigator of unidentified flying objects, Christianity, feminism, and many other subjects. He is a strong skeptic and critic of the above topics, and has written numerous critiques of feminist beliefs and ideas, Christian beliefs regarding the divinity of Jesus Christ, and the theory that UFOs may be alien spacecraft or some other unknown phenomena and not simply hoaxes or misindentifications of natural phenomena.
Sheaffer has written articles for Scientific American, Astronomy magazine, The Skeptical Inquirer, Fate Magazine, and Spaceflight. He was a founding member (with Philip J. Klass and James Oberg) of the UFO Subcommittee of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (formerly CSICOP), and is a fellow of that organization. He wrote the book The UFO Verdict: Examining the evidence and an updated version entitled UFO Sightings: The Evidence.
