A UAP Science Advisory Council to the U.S. Government: Keeping Our Eyes on the Orbs, Not the Audience!
Medium ^ | Avi Loeb

Posted on 06/15/2026 4:08:05 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

The latest UAP file release includes a new report (accessible here) dated June 5, 2026, signed by Dr. Jon Kosloski, the director of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in the Pentagon, which mentions that during two days in October 2023 law enforcement officials notices anomalous phenomena including an orange “mother” orb launching smaller red orbs. The report explains that 40% of the reported phenomena lack a reasonable explanation and remain unresolved.

The three UAP file releases thus far attracted more than a billion views and a lot of chatter on social media. However, to paraphrase the wisdom of basketball players: “we must keep our eyes on the orbs, not the audience!”

What could be a better way of doing that than the establishment of a new “UAP Science Advisory Council” by the White House, AARO, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the FBI, and all Intelligence Community members. This is not wishful thinking but a reality now. Over the past week, I was tasked by the above organizations to create a research team of young scientists who will serve on this council.

...

All Council members look forward to assisting the U.S. government agencies in figuring out the nature of UAPs. Our time will not be wasted because at the very least — we will promote national security.

Best I can tell, this is just an Advisory Council, not a government agency. It has no regulatory authority, no enforcement power, no independent budget, and no formal legal standing as a government body in the traditional sense.

What it appears to be, based strictly on what’s confirmed, is a privately organized scientific advisory group whose members have been tasked–through channels that remain officially unconfirmed by the White House–to advise government agencies on UAP science.

The movie that always pops in my head
“Fire in the Sky” about Travis Walton always disturbed me.
Travis experienced a Visitation without Any Physical evidence but was mentally affected by it. Some Labled it a Hoax.

The bad news—they will prove nothing and disclose nothing of importance.

You heard it here first.

And you are certain of this? How do you know this with certainty?

Are you not at least slightly open to being wrong?

A mind made up is a mind closed to new evidence.

It is a mind foreclosed to the search for truth...it seeks only confirmation of what it has decided.

A closed mind is not a mind. A closed mind is a mind given away to an ideology. it is a machine.

A closed mind is in a vault behind a lock and key.

Where is your key?

Why imprison your mind and those you listen to you.

Have you no conscience? Do you bear no guilt on the lives you affect?

You are smarter than that. Stop spouting crap and start engaging this stuff analytically.

It might be BS or psyop.

But stop giving your opinions and start presenting your heart-felt arguments.

Use your mind. Speak from your heart if you have one.

As you know I have followed this stuff for decades.

Decades.

I own hundreds of UFO related books, have seen hundreds of videos, even attended a couple of UFO conferences.

My heart was wide open.

My mind was wide open.

And—I got nothing but promises promises promises.

So—I am done.

They played me.

I get it.

They get my middle finger now.

People who are waiting for a singular dramatic disclosure moment are waiting for the wrong thing. A president at a podium. A craft on the White House lawn. A press conference that ends all ambiguity. That's the disclosure template Hollywood and decades of UFO culture have conditioned people to expect.

What's actually happening looks nothing like that–and precisely because it looks nothing like that, people are missing it.

What disclosure actually looks like in reality is the war.gov/ufo website quietly releasing increasingly specific documents. It looks like credentialed whistleblowers testifying under oath before Congress with no serious institutional pushback. It looks like a sitting VP floating theological categories for NHI. It looks like the president, the VP, the Secretary of State, the DNI, the Director of the CIA all saying "Something non-human is here. Now" It looks like exorcists saying "Maybe it's demons." It looks like pastors being briefed by so-called intel-connected "operators." It looks like Avi Loeb forming a scientific council. It looks like Fox News and NewsNation running UAP segments as routine news rather than fringe content.

None of those individual data points is "the moment." But the accumulation is undeniable if you're watching the whole board.

At the rate they are going almost all posters here will be long dead before anything “real” happens.

You are wishcasting.

Yes. I guess having a positive attitude would look like "wishcasting" to a negative person.

You are familiar with the concept of confirmation bias, aren't you?

If you are negative (you are), you will find confirmation of your negativity.

If you are positive (I am), you will find confirmation of your positivity.

What you and I must do (against our natures) is seek the truth, wherever it leads.

I have a very positive attitude about people that prove themselves with real accomplishments in the real world.

As for the folks that talk talk talk talk and do wishing and hoping for decades—I point and laugh.

No. You have gotten angry and closed your mind to the possibility that you might be wrong.

I don't point and laugh at you because that would be cruel.

Should I be angry when people lie to me?

That was my initial reaction—now I am at the pointing and laughing stage—and I am glad they are with us as court jesters to keep us amused.
