That UFO Podcast · Avi Loeb on the New U.S. UAP Advisory Board | Disclosure, Data & What's Next · 22 Jun 2026 podcast

Hi everyone and welcome back to That UFO Podcast.

Today I'm once again joined by Professor Avi Loeb and this time it's a timely one because just this week we've learned more about the new UEP governance structure being put together in the United States which includes, among others, a science advisory council that Avi has been asked to establish.

there's a lot to unpack here what is this board actually going to do who is involved what sort of data will they be looking at and crucially if the work is limited to unclassified material can it really move the conversation in any kind of meaningful way we're going to get into the role of skeptics within the council the inclusion of Michael Shermer the relationship between his work and the Galileo project

and whether new findings could still end up classified and where Avi draws the line between open-minded science and healthy skepticism.

I do also talk to him about Dr. Beatrice Villareal's work on pre-Sputnik transients because that's been a real talking point and a lot of you wanted me to ask him about that especially around how scientists should approach unusual data points without either dismissing it too quickly or jumping too far ahead.

So as a conversation about science, transparency, government involvement, and whether this new advisory structure has the potential to make real progress, or whether it risks becoming just another layer of process in a field that we have seen plenty of that already.

As always, listen carefully, make up your own mind, and let me know what you think.

Here is my conversation with Professor Avi Loeb.

And welcome back to the podcast, Avi Loeb.

Yeah, for all of us, but for you particularly, out of nowhere, Avi, we got news three or four days ago now that there was going to be, it was a little confusing for folks at first because we thought there was a new UAP science group and then we heard it was going to be a part of a larger board that the US government was setting up.

You were heading up the science wing of that.

So can you take us there first off and let us know exactly from the horse's mouth what's happening, what's the group and what's your role?

So let me just preface.

I know some people will be upset when they hear you say it doesn't matter about individuals and bureaucrats who may have covered this up.

Or something bigger.

Yeah, no, that's fair.

And I agree with that sentiment.
