Avi Loeb announced to lead new "UAP Science Advisory Council" for White House

[MonkeeSage]

According to Avi Loeb's Medium post from yesterday, he has been tasked with the creation of a new "UAP Science Advisory Council".

The three UAP file releases thus far attracted more than a billion views and a lot of chatter on social media. However, to paraphrase the wisdom of basketball players: "we must keep our eyes on the orbs, not the audience!"

What could be a better way of doing that than the establishment of a new "UAP Science Advisory Council" by the White House, AARO, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the FBI, and all Intelligence Community members. This is not wishful thinking but a reality now. Over the past week, I was tasked by the above organizations to create a research team of young scientists who will serve on this council. The Council under my leadership includes the following members: Dr. Richard Cloete and Dr. Regina Sarmiento with expertise in data analysis and data management with AI tools, Dr. Tim Gallaudet with expertise in oceanography, Prof. Matthew Szydagis with expertise in instrumentation and data collection, Dr. Devesh Nandal with expertise in numerical analysis and astrophysics, Prof. Peter Skafish with expertise in anthropology, Dr. Michael Shermer with expertise in studying anomalies, Dr. Jennice Vilhauer with expertise inn quantitative psychology, and Dr. Omer Eldadi with expertise in data management, AI and human psychology. This constitutes an amazing A-team of exceptional scientists.

All Council members look forward to assisting the U.S. government agencies in figuring out the nature of UAPs. Our time will not be wasted because at the very least — we will promote national security.

No further information is present in the article about the duties of the council or data it will have access to. I haven't found any official government announcement of the council yet.

No offense to Dr. Shermer, but Mick would be a better addition to the council.

The only time I've encountered Cloete's and Sarmiento's names has been on Loeb's blog in connection with his Galileo Project - so is this just Avi and his buds?

EDIT: I googled the next but one name on the list (TG's a well known entity), and this was one of the top hits: https://ufofest.com/matthew-szydagis/ - the URL says everything you need to know, but if you really demand a quote, then how about:

Professor Szydagis has patents pending on small-scale nuclear reactor technology for UAP attraction. He has also been featured in the UFO documentary A Tear in the Sky, produced and directed by Caroline Cory with UAlbany Professor Kevin Knuth

EDIT2: next guy - not just a "bud", but "my postdoc Devesh Nandal" --
