Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb said the White House UAP Science Advisory Council held a private meeting on August 31 at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Space.com published the interview on September 14. Loeb declined to disclose the meeting's contents but said the government was approaching the subject through scientific data collection.
The council was established in June in coordination with AARO, ODNI and the FBI. Loeb said its role is advisory: it is expected to recommend methods for resolving reports rather than conduct a parallel public investigation or pronounce on extraterrestrial origin.
No minutes, membership roster or new observational data accompanied the interview. Loeb's description provides a limited update on the council's activity, while the substance of its deliberations and any future recommendations remain unavailable for independent review.
