Representative Luna visits Avi Loeb at Harvard College Observatory
Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, chair of the House Oversight Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, travelled to Cambridge, Massachusetts on 17 April 2026 to meet astrophysicist Avi Loeb at the Harvard College Observatory. The visit foregrounded the Galileo Project's instrument programme and Loeb's standing call for a peer-reviewed scientific review of any UAP video material released under Trump's 19 February disclosure directive. Loeb documented the visit in a Medium post the same week. The meeting establishes a direct working line between the Oversight Task Force chair leading the public push for the Pentagon's 46 disputed UAP videos and the senior academic voice arguing that any release should pass through scientific peer review before it can carry evidentiary weight. Luna's visit followed her 31 March letter to Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and preceded her early-May public statements on the missed 14 April video deadline.
