A Harvard astronomer, known for his provocative theories regarding extraterrestrial visits, has been selected by the White House to spearhead a team of external scientists. Their mission: to investigate the national security implications posed by unidentified flying objects.
Avi Loeb, a distinguished cosmologist who previously led Harvard’s astronomy department until 2020 and conducted extensive research on black holes, was recently appointed to chair a new scientific advisory council. This council is tasked with probing the origins of mysterious orbs and other phenomena reported by military personnel in recent years, an initiative stemming from President Donald Trump's push to declassify more information on the subject.
