Summary
odni, the FBI, and the department-of-war have established a permanent UAP Governance Board, an interagency body to coordinate UAP investigations, data collection, and declassification under Trump’s UAP transparency directive. The board’s charter authorizes it to bring together military, law enforcement, the Intelligence Community, and civilian agencies to address national-security threats posed by UAP. It held its first meeting on June 15, 2026. The GB supports aaro directly and is the parent body to which external advisory groups — including avi-loeb’s uap-science-advisory-council — report. Declassification is coordinated under Executive Order 13526.
