Background

Atmospheric chemist John Birks proposes in a preprint that many UAP orb observations may be explained by properties of meteoritic dust. Loeb states that he read the paper during a flight and shared it with the UAP Science Advisory Council that he chairs. A verifiable original URL for the preprint or Medium original was not present in the import package.

Significance

The event is relevant because a specific scientific explanatory hypothesis for UAP orbs was taken up by prominent UAP research actors and placed before a UAP research advisory body for further review.
