Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb named head of the new White House Council on UFOs.

A Harvard cosmologist, Avi Loeb, has been appointed to lead a new White House advisory body investigating the origins of mysterious spherical objects reported by US military personnel. The initiative is part of President Donald Trump’s effort to declassify more information on this topic. Loeb, known for his search for evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence, has faced criticism from some academics for sensational claims lacking sufficient evidence. Critics like Steve Desch and Sean Kirkpatrick argue that Loeb lacks experience in national security and uses flawed methods. Loeb rejects conspiracy theories and asserts he will start with the assumption that UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) have human origins, requesting over 50 videos and documents from the Pentagon.

Bias read (Left): The article frames Avi Loeb's appointment as a significant step toward transparency and scientific inquiry, emphasizing his academic credentials and his openness to unconventional explanations. While it acknowledges criticism from experts, it does so in a balanced manner but leans toward supporting洛

Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 65): Factuality is high as the article accurately reports Loeb's appointment and the initiative's goals, aligning with cross-source consensus. Objectivity is lower due to emotionally charged language like 'senzacionalne tvrdnje' and biased quotes from critics, which present a one-sided view.
