Harvard astrophysicist and frequent Newsmax contributor Avi Loeb will lead a new UAP Science Advisory Council assembled at the request of the White House, the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI, and the broader intelligence community, the scientific arm of President Trump’s push to declassify federal files on unidentified anomalous phenomena.

The council will report to a higher-level UAP Governance Board that met for the first time the week of June 15. An ODNI official said the agency established the board with the FBI and Defense Department “to provide guidance, recommendations, and coordination at the interagency level, bringing together military, law enforcement, the intelligence community, and other civilian agencies.”

The program carries no budget and will work only with declassified material.

Loeb’s mandate is to advise the government on how to resolve the nature of UAP.

The roster spans physics, oceanography, AI, statistics, biology, anthropology, and psychology, and includes retired Rear Adm. Tim Gallaudet, the former acting NOAA administrator; Stanford immunologist Garry Nolan; SUNY Albany physicists Kevin Knuth and Matthew Szydagis; and skeptic Michael Shermer, founder of Skeptic magazine, whose inclusion has drawn pushback from some disclosure advocates.

“I am very pleased and not surprised as I have been calling on the Executive branch to prioritize UAP for years,” Gallaudet said.
