Harvard Astronomer Tapped to Lead UFO Council Says US Government 'Baffled' By Sightings

Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb has been appointed to lead a UFO advisory council in the White House, and he claims that federal officials are 'baffled' by the many unidentifiable aerial phenomena (UAP) they have encountered. As the new head of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), Loeb will work to develop strategies for detecting and mitigating the risks associated with UAPs. The task force's existence was confirmed by the Pentagon last year, but details about its activities and goals were previously classified.
