天体物理学家阿维·勒布解读美国政府对不明空中现象的保密行为
天体物理学家阿维·勒布是特朗普政府新成立的不明空中现象治理委员会的首席顾问，他解读了美国政府此前为何对不明空中现象保密。勒布解释称，有些物体无法被识别，且可能构成来自敌对国家的国家安全风险。他倡导透明度，并指出其领导的委员会旨在收集非机密数据，以更好地了解这些不明空中现象，或许还能取得突破性发现。

上个月被白宫任命领导不明飞行物咨询委员会的哈佛天文学家阿维·勒布表示，他之所以获此任命，是因为联邦官员对美军过去数十年间捕获的大量不明物体“感到困惑”。
勒布因曾提出外星航天器可能已经抵达地球的观点而闻名。他表示，自己新组建的由十余名科学家组成的团队正在梳理特朗普政府近几个月来公开的四批次不明飞行物目击报告。
他的任务始于6月初，当时美国国家情报总监办公室的一名官员到访他家中，邀请他组建专家小组，对如今美国政府所称的“不明异常现象”（UAP）进行研究。这一统称涵盖了在水下和太空中被观测到的物体。
“美国政府一联系我，我就明白了他们的意图，”勒布在周六接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示，“在我看来，他们主动联络像我这样的科学家，表明他们对所见之物感到困惑，并且认为这些物体可能并非人类制造。”
NASA局长证实该局存有无法解释的不明飞行物影像：“我们不知道那是什么”
勒布领导的委员会将向不明异常现象治理委员会提交研究结果，该委员会是由美国国家情报总监办公室指导下新近成立的机构。
根据该委员会官网信息，勒布及其同事仅会审查已解密的不明异常现象相关材料。
但勒布告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他已向五角大楼及其他机构索要50段与已知不明异常现象事件相关的视频、图像和其他文件。这些材料尚未移交给他，相关保管机构以涉及国家安全为由拒绝提供。
“问题并不主要在于目标本身，而是在于所使用的传感器是用于国家安全目的的。美国政府不想向敌对国家透露正在使用的传感器类型。这是目前的主要障碍，”勒布说道。
尼尔·德格拉斯·泰森敦促政府“干脆展示外星人”，披露热潮持续升温
勒布的目标是弄清楚美军捕获的不明异常现象究竟源自其他国家，还是完全非人类起源。
“如果是后一种情况，即并非人类制造，那这将是科学史上最重大的发现，而美国政府将有幸开启人类意识到‘有邻居来访’的新纪元，”勒布说。
勒布试图降温公众期待，称他们研究的许多现象最终可能只是寻常事物。他表示，人们在天空中看到的怪异物体通常不过是太空垃圾或报废卫星。
“除非它们以无法用引力解释的方式机动，否则你应该认为它们就是太空垃圾，”勒布说。
2014年和2015年，美国海军飞行员在训练演习中多次报告目击不明飞行物。
解密的阿波罗任务不明飞行物文件挑战长期流传的登月阴谋论
尽管如此，他还是赞扬了白宫在该问题上推动透明度的举措。今年2月，唐纳德·特朗普总统下令五角大楼及其他机构解密与外星人和不明空中现象相关的文件，理由是“公众对此抱有极大兴趣”。
勒布领导的委员会的最重要目标之一，是建议部署更先进的传感器，以便未来政府能够更有把握地捕获不明异常现象。
“如果我们面对的是中国使用的某种性能特殊的无人机，那么美国拥有更先进的传感器来识别它们将是有益的。目前，它们被报告为光球。它们可能不是无人机，但我想说，至少我们将有助于维护国家安全，”勒布说。
勒布发表此番言论之前，美国战争部于周五向公众发布了第四批也是最新一批不明异常现象相关材料。勒布对第一批披露材料中最引人关注的内容发表了评论，其中包括1969年阿波罗12号登月任务拍摄的照片。
其中一张照片显示了五个“不明现象”，但勒布表示，联邦当局现已正式得出结论，这些蓝色闪光很可能是宇宙射线。

勒布曾于2020年之前担任哈佛大学天文学系主任，期间研究黑洞、宇宙中首批恒星的形成以及地外生命。
2017年，当科学家在太阳系中发现一颗类似冥王星的天体残骸时，勒布对这一发现提出质疑，认为该天体可能是外星文明的光帆。
这一主张让他在不明飞行物群体中赢得广泛认可，之后勒布在哈佛大学创立了伽利略项目，旨在搜寻外星文明的人工制品。

Harvard astronomer tapped to lead White House UFO council says US government ‘baffled by what they are seeing’
July 11, 2026 12:44pm EDT / Fox News
Astrophysicist Avi Loeb explains government secrecy on UAPs
Astrophysicist Avi Loeb, lead advisor to the new Trump-era UAP Governance Board, discusses why the government previously maintained secrecy regarding unidentified aerial phenomena. Loeb explains that some objects are unidentified and could pose national security risks from adversarial nations. He advocates for transparency, noting his council seeks to collect unclassified data to better understand these UAPs and potentially make groundbreaking discoveries.

Avi Loeb, the Harvard astronomer who was chosen last month by the White House to lead a UFO advisory council, believes he was brought on because federal officials are “baffled” by the many unidentified objects the U.S. military has captured over the past several decades.
Loeb, known for arguing that alien spacecraft may have already reached Earth, said his newly-formed team of more than a dozen scientists is combing through four batches of public UFO sighting disclosures released by the Trump administration in recent months.
His mission began in early June when an official from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) visited his home and asked him to form a group of experts to make sense of UFOs — now referred to by the U.S. government as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). This is an umbrella term that accounts for objects seen zipping underwater and in space.
“The U.S. government had me at hello,” Loeb told Fox News Digital in an interview on Saturday. “The fact that they are reaching out to scientists like myself indicates, in my mind, that they are baffled by what they are seeing, and they think that maybe it’s not human-made.”

Loeb’s council will report its findings to the UAP Governing Board, a recently-established body under the direction of ODNI.
According to the council’s website, Loeb and his colleagues will only be reviewing already-declassified materials on UAPs.
However, Loeb told Fox News Digital that he has asked the Pentagon and other agencies for 50 videos, images and other documents related to known UAP incidents. Those materials haven’t been given to him yet, with the custodian agencies citing national security concerns.
“It’s not so much the targets that are the issue. It’s that the sensors that were used were for national security purposes. The U.S. government doesn’t want to reveal to adversarial nations the kind of sensors being used. So that’s the main obstacle right now,” Loeb said.

Loeb’s goal is to figure out whether UAPs that have been captured by the U.S. military originate from other nations or if they don’t come from humans at all.
“In the second case, if it’s not human-made, then that’s the biggest discovery ever made by science, and the U.S. government has the privilege of ushering in this new realization that we have a neighbor visiting us,” Loeb said.
Loeb sought to temper expectations, saying that many of the phenomena they are studying could turn out to be mundane. Often, he said, the strange-looking objects people see in the sky are merely space junk or broken satellites.
“Unless they maneuver in ways that cannot be explained by gravity, you should assume that they are space junk,” Loeb said.
In 2014 and 2015, pilots with the U.S. Navy reported multiple UFO sightings during training maneuvers.

Nonetheless, he praised the White House for its push for transparency on this issue. In February, President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon and other agencies to declassify files related to aliens and UAPs because of “tremendous interest.”
One of the most important aims of Loeb’s council is to recommend better sensors so that the government can capture UAPs with more confidence in the future.
“If we are dealing with drones of some unusual qualities that the Chinese are using, it’s good for the U.S. to have better sensors that can help it identify those. Right now, they are reported as orbs. They may not be drones, but I’m saying that at the very least, we will help national security,” Loeb said.
Loeb’s remarks come after the Department of War on Friday released the fourth and latest batch of UAP materials to the public. Loeb commented on one of the most sensational releases from the first batch, which were photos from the Apollo 12 mission on the Moon in 1969.
One of the photos have five “unidentified phenomena,” but Loeb said federal authorities have now officially concluded that those blue flashes are most likely cosmic rays.

Until 2020, Loeb headed up Harvard University’s astronomy department, where he studied black holes, the formation of the universe’s first stars and extraterrestrial life.
In 2017, when scientists discovered a remnant of a Pluto-like world in the Solar System, Loeb disputed those findings, arguing that the object was possibly a light sail from an alien civilization.
After this claim earned him widespread respect in the UFO community, Loeb founded the Galileo Project at Harvard to search for artifacts from extraterrestrial civilizations.
