Donald Trump's new UAP Science Advisory Council has given Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb a central role, putting a scientist who has floated the idea of an interstellar 'mothership' releasing alien spy probes at the heart of the administration's latest push on unexplained aerial phenomena.
The council met for the first time last Tuesday under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, with the White House saying it was created to support the president's drive for greater UAP transparency.
