SIGN THE PETITION NOW<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the eve of the U.S. Government hitting a record $40 trillion in public debt, Avi Loeb \u2013 a Harvard professor who has reportedly become isolated from mainstream science<\/a><\/u><\/strong> due to his repeated, controversial suggestions that astronomical objects may represent alien spaceships \u2013 announced he had been designated<\/u><\/strong><\/a> by the U.S. Government to form a \u201cUAP Science Advisory Council\u201d to provide outside advice to the government about UFOs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following that announcement, those appointed to this body began referring to the occurrence of unannounced meetings, and describing the adoption of formal, collective resolutions (see, for example<\/u><\/strong><\/a>). Loeb, himself, has repeatedly characterized the body as formed at the direction or instigation of the U.S. Government and operating in cooperation with it.\u2071<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA; 5 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 1001\u20131014<\/strong><\/a>) is clear: if the U.S. Government establishes or utilizes an outside group of experts for purposes of giving collective advice or recommendations it must file a charter, adhere to open-meeting and public access requirements, announce its meetings via the Federal Register <\/em>at least 15 days prior to each, and have a Designated Federal Official responsible for it, among other requirements. Important among those other requirements for present purposes is viewpoint balance; however, in respect of the alleged council, The Guardian <\/em>described it<\/strong><\/a> as principally formed of persons \u201cwith apparently similar minds\u201d to Loeb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite Loeb\u2019s repeated characterizations, it is unclear if this is actually a U.S. Government-authorized or solicited body. To date:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
