Avi Loeb calls for material evidence and digital data on UAP rather than relying solely on verbal testimony. The piece references a Fox News interview with former UAP Task Force Director Jay Stratton, who stated the government possesses nonhuman craft and that he has personally witnessed nonhuman beings and craft. Loeb argues that the scientific community needs concrete, verifiable evidence to move the UAP discussion beyond anecdotal accounts. Stratton's claims represent a significant public statement by a former government official, though the full context of his remarks and any supporting documentation remain to be fully disclosed.
Avi Loeb analyzed the fifth tranche of UAP data released by the U.S. government on August 7, 2026. Unlike previous releases emphasizing video and imagery, this batch featured verbal testimonies as the most remarkable anomalies. Loeb reviewed the most significant testimony accounts in the dataset.
Avi Loeb discusses the establishment of a UAP Science Advisory Council and references a June 12, 2026 government disclosure event coinciding with a Spielberg film release, though the excerpt is fragmentary and lacks substantive detail.
Avi Loeb reports that the third batch of UAP files released on June 12, 2026 is the most intriguing disclosure to date. The release includes a June 5, 2026 report by Dr. Jon Kosloski, director of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, and Loeb discussed the significance on CBS News.
Avi Loeb provides preliminary assessment of the second batch of declassified UAP files released by the U.S. Department of War, highlighting a spherical object (DOW-UAP-PR067) seen passing through clouds and discussing whether observed objects are real or misidentifications.
Avi Loeb proposes an extension to the Loeb Classification Scale designed to assess anomalous objects for signs of extraterrestrial artificial intelligence (SETAI). The extended framework adds a preliminary step to determine whether observational data can support inferences about object control, then applies the existing Loeb Scale, and finally evaluates which control architectures are compatible with the recorded data, using three exclusion tests (T1–T3).
Avi Loeb participated in a panel discussion at the Virginia Theatre in Champaign on October 16–17, 2026, attended by nearly 1,500 people, examining factual and fictional aspects of alien spacecraft alongside panelists Sarah Edwards, Bill Odenkirk, and Ahmed Best.
Avi Loeb analyzes declassified infrared sensor videos from the PURSUE collection, identifying that over 8% of analyzed footage may depict birds rather than genuine UAPs, including analysis of wingbeat frequency patterns observed in a 2020 Middle East recording.
Avi Loeb is participating in a hybrid theatrical event called "We Interrupt This Program" at the Virginia Theatre in Champaign, Illinois, which uses a satirical play format to examine UAP storytelling versus factual reality.
