**Just In** Avi Loeb on Beatriz Villarroel's groundbreaking transient studies: "Most likely cosmic rays or pre-Sputnik secret US satellites." This is an outrageous attack on Beatriz work from Avi Loeb who has recently been appointed head of the UAP Science Advisory Council for The White House. Avi Loeb also spent 6 months trying to tell us the 3I/ATLAS comet was an interstellar space craft coming to take over planet earth whilst also asking Congress for $1 billion to investigate UAP's. Beatriz Villarroel's peer-reviewed papers in Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific and Scientific Reports stand strong. Analyzing digitized Palomar Sky Survey plates from 1949-1957, before any human satellites, her VASCO team identified over 100,000 brief star like transients. Many vanish in Earth's shadow, consistent with solar glints off flat, highly reflective artificial objects in high orbit, and show statistically significant correlations (>3σ) with 1950s UAP reports and nuclear tests. These aligned multiple transients passed rigorous scrutiny ruling out plate defects and cosmic rays, with independent validations confirming real optical signals through telescope distortions. Beatriz's careful, data-driven work deserves full scientific follow-up, not premature dismissal. Extraordinary observations in pre-satellite skies invite deeper investigation into what was really orbiting Earth.

Foreign Affairs Minister Helen McEntee says imposing travel bans on Israeli ministers does not go far enough. Speaking in Strasbourg, McEntee said the “credibility of the EU” is now at stake in terms of its response to the actions of the Israel. jrnl.ie/7071149

🚨 Anthropic just updated its privacy policy. Claude Free, Pro, and Max users may soon be asked for age or identity checks. Verification data can include government ID, face photos/videos, and facial geometry templates. Individual developers are the first group in scope for verification.

So, @michaelshermer, a guy who just compared David Grusch to the late Heaven's-Gate cult leader, Marshall Applewhite, is part of this new UAP council? Fuck Shermer. If that was @ProfAviLoeb's idea, then Loeb needs to get his head out of his ass and remove Shermer ASAP. Find a decent skeptic who hasn't libeled one of the most prominent UAP/UFO whistleblowers in history (in Grusch), which shows a bias. And...one who wasn't accused of sexual misconduct by three women, including one who claimed she was sexually assaulted by Shermer. At the very least, I think Shermer is a creep and should stay far away from the UAP/UFO topic. "...a new UAP Science Advisory Council. The council includes Prof. Carol Cleland: anomaly identification; Dr. Richard Cloete: data analysis and AI tools; Dr. Omer Eldadi: data management, AI, and human psychology; Dr. @GallaudetTim : oceanography; Ross Howard: communication; Dr. Devesh Nandal: numerical analysis and astrophysics; Prof. @GarryPNolan: molecular biology and materials science; Dr. Regina Sarmiento: data analysis and AI-assisted data management; Dr. Michael Shermer: the study of anomalies; Prof. Peter Skafish (@heterology): anthropology; Prof. Matthew Szydagis: instrumentation and data collection; and Dr. @JenniceVilhauer: quantitative psychology. This constitutes an amazing A-team of exceptional scientists."

New update on Fable 5: and it's less about jailbreaks than anyone initially thought. Via Axios The Axios story that just dropped today reframes the whole thing: Anthropic hired a cybersecurity expert to review Amazon's findings and push back on the government's narrative. The administration viewed her as a "radical Democrat." She was then publicly celebrated by Chris Krebs, the official Trump just fired. That didn't help. Behind the scenes, officials describe a company that simply doesn't know how to talk to this administration. "It's like they just speak different languages," one source said. "Everybody said Anthropic was a bad actor. Some of us said it was time to give them a chance. Now those people are questioning that. They screwed us." Today: Anthropic staffers meet with Commerce, the CIA, and White House science advisor Michael Kratsios to work through compliance with the cyber executive order. The technical question - can Fable 5 be jailbroken - is almost secondary now. This is a story about a company that keeps losing the room. Ill keep you updated.

A 19-year-old college student quietly turns down a job interview, stupidly telling the company it's because he doesn't want to work for a Jew. Within two days: -- The billionaire founder of one of the world's most powerful corporations (Palantir) demands that the company release his the student's to the world. The company instantly complies. -- National media trumpet the incident and spread the student's name and face all over the place. -- A senior Trump DOJ official repeatedly urges the public to notify him if that student is ever hired anywhere in the future, promising to use his office to keep the student permanently unemployable. Adults with large, influential platforms -- pundits, media types, even elected officials -- right here on X routinely say things as bad as, and often much worse than, pretty much every other group you can think of without facing a single consequence let alone a completely unhinged coordinated campaign of very powerful people to run their lives forever:

🚨 JUST IN - The White House’s UAP Science Advisory Council members have been announced: Dr. Avi Loeb — Harvard theoretical physicist, founder of the Galileo Project, former chair of Harvard's astronomy department, and bestselling author of Extraterrestrial, tapped to lead the new UAP Science Advisory Council appointed by the White House, AARO, and ODNI. Dr. Regina Sarmiento — Galileo Project researcher whose work focuses on AI-assisted data analysis and management, joining the council to apply machine-learning techniques to UAP data. Prof. Garry Nolan — Stanford pathology professor and molecular biologist, co-founder of the Sol Foundation, bringing expertise in molecular biology and materials science to anomaly investigations. Dr. Tim Gallaudet — oceanographer and former Acting NOAA Administrator and Rear Admiral, contributing oceanographic expertise to the council's analysis of maritime UAP encounters. Dr. Jennice Vilhauer — Los Angeles psychologist, developer of Future Directed Therapy and author of Think Forward to Thrive, joining to study the psychological impact of potential disclosure on the public. Prof. Matthew Szydagis — physicist specializing in instrumentation and detector technology, appointed to lead instrumentation and data-collection methods for the council. Dr. Devesh Nandal — researcher in numerical analysis and astrophysics, recruited to apply computational modeling techniques to UAP phenomena. Prof. Peter Skafish — cultural anthropologist and co-founder of the Sol Foundation with a PhD from UC Berkeley, author of Rough Metaphysics, bringing an anthropological lens to how humans might interpret nonhuman intelligence. Dr. Michael Shermer — founder and publisher of Skeptic magazine, longtime science communicator known for applying critical-thinking and anomaly-investigation methods, including a public wager with Loeb over alien-technology disclosure. Dr. Richard Cloete — Galileo Project postdoctoral fellow trained at the University of Cambridge, specializing in AI-driven data analysis tools, appointed to the council to lead data analysis and AI methodology. Dr. Omer (Eldadi) — specialist combining data management, AI, and human psychology, appointed to handle the council's data infrastructure and the human-factors side of UAP reporting.

Because #UAP are observed in the #ocean, Avi Loeb asked the White House if they would consider adding an oceanographer like me to the new U.S. UAP Science Advisory Council, and they agreed!

Important Announcement: I Will Be Leading A UAP Science Advisory Council to the U.S. Government

BREAKING: White House tasks Dr. Avi Loeb to create a UAP Science Advisory Council with astrophysicists, AI experts, and human psychologists The Council will assist U.S. Government agencies to include ODNI, FBI, and AARO in determining the nature of UAPs. avi-loeb.medium.com/a-uap-sc…

Disclosure Day was amazing. Fuck the haters

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy. One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what?? The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you. Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!
