Just days after being appointed to lead the Science Advisory Council supporting the new U.S. government UAP governance structure, Professor Avi Loeb joins me to discuss what happens next.
What is this new board? Who is involved? What access will they have? And can meaningful progress be made if the council is limited to unclassified information?
We discuss:
🔹 Avi's appointment and role on the new U.S. UAP board
🔹 How the Science Advisory Council will operate
🔹 The latest UAP file releases
🔹 Whistleblower protections and transparency
🔹 Crash retrieval and biologics claims
🔹 Michael Shermer's role on the council
🔹 The Galileo Project and government cooperation
🔹 Whether disclosure is actually happening
🔹 Dr. Beatriz Villarroel's pre-Sputnik transient research
Avi also explains why he believes the government is showing signs of a new approach to UAP investigations and what success would look like for the council he now leads.
