White House taps the guy who keeps crying ‘aliens’ to run UFO group

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb will lead a new UAP Science Advisory Council created by the White House, Pentagon, ODNI, FBI, and intelligence community. The council will provide scientific reports and advice to a UAP Governing Board as officials try to determine the nature of unidentified anomalous phenomena.

The appointment signals a push to give UAP investigations more formal scientific structure, but Loeb’s reputation for high-profile alien-related claims may make the effort controversial. It reflects a broader trend of governments treating UAP research as a serious interdisciplinary problem spanning physics, intelligence, computing, and psychology.
