### UAP Science Advisory Council, 2026
*[[The Harvard Crimson]]* reported on July 11, 2026 that a week before the government's latest release of declassified files a representative of the [[Director of National Intelligence|Office of the Director of National Intelligence]] visited Loeb at his home with a request, and that Loeb then formed a UAP Science Advisory Council "in support of [[Donald Trump|President Trump]]'s directive on UAP transparency"; of its 18 publicly named members, 12 had ties to Harvard and four were Galileo Project research affiliates. Members include the [[Skeptic Society|Skeptic]] magazine founder [[Michael Shermer]], a Galileo affiliate, and the billionaire [[Ben Lamm]], whose company Colossal Biosciences "helps fund the [[Wyss Institute]] at Harvard." Loeb said the council has no budget and communicates through him and a parallel [[UAP Governing Board]] whose membership is not public, and that the council has asked the Pentagon to declassify 50 items without a response.[^18]

A search of the Federal Register on October 3, 2026 returned no document naming the council, and no ODNI, AARO or White House release establishing it was located.[^19]
