Avi Loeb’s New UAP Council Raises Transparency Questions as UFO Data Flows Through AARO’s Expanding Bureaucracy

“The UAP Governing Board…. will assist in the timely coordination of declassification of UAP-related information, in accordance with Executive Order 13526, Classified National Security Information.”

-Prof. Avi Loeb, Medium

For critics of government secrecy, that process resembles a filtration system rather than a transparency initiative.

Those concerns are amplified by AARO's own history.

Since its creation, AARO has faced criticism from whistleblowers, lawmakers, researchers, and portions of the disclosure community who argue that the office has been overly dismissive of extraordinary claims while failing to provide meaningful public access to underlying evidence. The agency's conclusions have frequently generated controversy, particularly when they appeared to contradict testimony from military witnesses and intelligence officials.

The question now facing disclosure advocates is whether Loeb's involvement changes that dynamic—or merely lends scientific credibility to an existing process.

Ironically, Loeb himself became one of the most outspoken voices in recent months regarding 3I/ATLAS, an unusual interstellar object that captured global attention. During the object's flyby, Loeb publicly identified numerous anomalies and advocated for serious scientific examination.

Yet despite highlighting those unusual characteristics, Loeb never elevated 3I/ATLAS beyond a Level 4 on what has become known as the "Loeb Scale," his framework for assessing the likelihood that an object may represent extraterrestrial technology.

For some observers, that demonstrated scientific restraint.

For others, it highlighted a recurring tension: the difference between discussing anomalies and drawing bold conclusions from them.

That same tension may ultimately define the future of the UAP Science Advisory Council.

Loeb emphasizes that scientists have a civic duty to assist government investigations and follow evidence wherever it leads. His supporters argue that serious science requires caution, discipline, and rigorous analysis rather than speculation.

Critics counter that the public has already spent decades waiting for studies, committees, task forces, investigations, and reports while fundamental questions remain unanswered.

The creation of another council inevitably raises concerns about whether genuine disclosure is moving forward—or merely being processed through another administrative layer.

The stakes are significant.

If the council becomes an independent scientific body willing to challenge assumptions and push for maximum public access to evidence, it could become one of the most important developments in the history of UFO research.

If it instead functions as another intermediary that interprets government-approved data while withholding underlying evidence, many disclosure advocates will likely view it as one more checkpoint in a system that has long frustrated public efforts to understand the UAP phenomenon.

Loeb ended his announcement with an optimistic promise.

"The best is yet to come."

For a public that has spent generations waiting for answers about UFOs, the question is no longer whether more experts will study the mystery.

The question is whether the public will finally be allowed to see the evidence for itself.
