White House UFO Adviser Says Government is 'Baffled' by Sightings
The council will use scientific methods and higher-quality data to assess unexplained sightings, with a team spanning physics, philosophy and intelligence expertise.
- Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb will head the new UAP Science Advisory Council, established by the White House, Pentagon, and intelligence community to resolve the nature of unidentified anomalous phenomena .
- Focusing on data-driven scientific inquiry, the UAP Science Advisory Council aims to transition research from anecdotal observations to systematic investigation; Loeb assembled an "amazing A-team of exceptional scientists and experts."
- Members include Carol Cleland from the University of Colorado Boulder and physicist Devesh Nandal, who apply rigorous scientific principles to help "decipher the origin of UAPs" through quantitative data analysis.
- Mark Rodeghier, president of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, warned that without a clear mandate and data access, "its practical value may be quite limited," Rodeghier told Space.com.
- Despite facing criticism since at least 2015 for claims about alien technology and Oumuamua, supporters like Liberty Capito believe Loeb's council could help re-establish public trust in science.

Harvard astronomer tapped to lead White House UFO council says US government 'baffled by what they are seeing' – Democratic Accent
Avi Loeb, the Harvard astronomer who was chosen last month by the White House to lead a UFO advisory council, believes he was brought on because federal officials are “baffled” by the many unidentified objects the U.S. military has captured over the past several decades. Loeb, known for arguing that alien spacecraft may have already reached Earth, said his newly-formed team of more than a dozen scientists is combing through four batches of publi…
