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.
