U.S. Establishes Interagency UAP Governance Board, According to ODNI Official
The United States has established a UAP Governance Board involving the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI, the Department of War, military and law-enforcement bodies, the Intelligence Community, and civilian agencies, according to an ODNI official quoted by Liberation Times [1]. The board reportedly held its first meeting on 15 June 2026, one day before the article was published [1]. Its charter describes a mission to coordinate investigations, improve UAP incident data collection and analysis, address national-security threats, and support the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office [1]. The charter also assigns the board a role in coordinating the declassification of UAP-related information under Executive Order 13526 [1]. Liberation Times further reports that outside advisory groups may support the board, including a proposed UAP Science Advisory Council associated with Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, but the supplied source does not provide independent documentation confirming the board’s establishment, its charter, or the council’s formation [1].
Why it matters
If independently confirmed, the board could centralize UAP-related investigative, data, and declassification processes across multiple agencies [1]. The report establishes an official’s account of the initiative, not proof of extraterrestrial activity or any particular explanation for UAP reports [1].
Source record
This brief summarizes what the linked record establishes. It does not treat an unresolved observation as proof of extraterrestrial origin.
