DefenseScoop: New Science Advisory Council Forms to Help US Government Resolve the UAP Mystery

2 min read

Summary

DefenseScoop’s Brandi Vincent provides authoritative institutional detail on the uap-science-advisory-council and, for the first time in a major defense outlet, officially confirms the existence of the UAP Governance Board via an ODNI spokesperson. An ODNI official confirms the board — co-established by ODNI, FBI, and DOW — held its first meeting “yesterday” (June 16, 2026 per this article’s June 17 date). The science council, led by avi-loeb, reports to and advises the Governance Board; all data shared with council members will be unclassified. The article also adds Ben Lamm (oceanography and biology) to the council roster not previously appearing in vault records, and confirms tim-gallaudet’s participation with on-record statements on mission goals.

Key Claims

  • An ODNI official confirmed ODNI, FBI, and DOD established the uap-governance-board to provide interagency guidance and coordination; first meeting June 16, 2026. (ODNI official; note: Liberation Times src-uap-governance-board-2026-06 places first meeting June 15)
  • The board’s mission includes integrating and optimizing interagency UAP investigation processes to more effectively support aaro. (ODNI official)
  • The uap-science-advisory-council reports to the Governance Board; Loeb confirmed all council data will be unclassified. (Loeb)
  • Council member Ben Lamm (oceanography and biology) appears here but not in earlier vault sources — possible roster discrepancy.
  • avi-loeb frames the “down-to-earth” national-security interpretation: if orbs are adversarial tech, U.S. defense is compromised — citing the 2023 Chinese spy balloon as precedent.
  • jon-kosloski’s June 5, 2026 AARO report describes an October 2023 orange “mother” orb launching red orbs witnessed by law enforcement; ~40% of reported phenomena remain unresolved.
  • Three pursue release tranches: May 8, May 22, June 12, 2026.
