Research mandate (July 2026)
A July 2 2026 Scientific American profile (src-sciam-uap-science-council-2026-07) details her council role for the first time: studying how people who report UAP interactions are psychologically affected and how they are treated by clinicians and the military. She estimates only about 5% of people who see something actually report it, due to stigma: “We know that only about 5 percent of people are actually reporting what they are actually seeing, because they’re afraid of stigma.”
