Original excerpt
A snapshot from a UAP video sighting in the northeastern United States in July 2025, which was detailed in files released by the Pentagon and originally obtained by the FBI. (Image credit: DOW/FBI). Today, I received an interesting new preprint (available here ) from Professor John Birks with the following accompanying message: “Dear Prof. Loeb, I greatly appreciate your recent work on Unidentifi…
Key claims
Avi Loeb discusses a new preprint from Professor John Birks examining whether UAP orbs observed in a July 2025 northeastern US sighting could be explained as meteoritic dust clouds. The analysis is based on Pentagon-released files originally obtained by the FBI.
Alternative explanation
The analysis proposes a mundane explanation for UAP orbs as meteoritic dust clouds rather than anomalous craft.

A Naval Postgraduate School journal reports that Ukrainian Armed Forces have detected UAP/UFO objects during conflict with Russia exhibiting high speeds, instantaneous acceleration, and anomalous light effects that remain unidentified.
Avi Loeb analyzes a declassified UAP object (DOW-UAP-PR043) from a government disclosure, proposing it is likely a missile based on terrain matching analysis.
SETI researchers are expanding their search for extraterrestrial intelligence beyond the traditional radio frequency band known as the 'water hole,' broadening the scope of detection methods.
Avi Loeb proposes that the Nimitz Tic Tac objects observed in 2015 may have been megafilaments of laser-produced plasma rather than unknown craft, based on analysis of CO2 laser propagation behavior in air.
Avi Loeb discusses triangulation methodology using three Galileo Project observatories in Las Vegas to measure the distance to a UAP, demonstrating how multi-site observations can constrain object properties.
Avi Loeb analyzes a UAP orb encounter reported near the Gulf of Oman in 2021, where a U.S. AC-130 Gunship detected multiple unidentified objects during live fire training exercises. The analysis examines whether these orbs could represent adversary drone technology.
Avi Loeb discusses the hypothetical policy question of how military and civilian personnel should respond to UAP encounters, particularly near sensitive national security sites.
Avi Loeb argues that publicly available UAP data is insufficient to attribute sightings to alien technology, with most UAP likely being natural phenomena or human-made objects.
Avi Loeb reports on materials allegedly recovered from downed orbs near White Sands that could test the hypothesis of extraterrestrial technology, citing investigative journalist Ross Coulthard's claims about Department of War covert operations.
