An Air Force veteran has made shocking claims about UFOs and alien retrieval programs long-rumored to be operated by the US government.
Jake Barber said he was working for the government to assist downed craft when one night, the ‘communication process and procedure was modified’ and he witnessed something that he believes was of extraterrestrial origin.
He was told to fly a helicopter to a specific area when came 150 feet from an ‘egg-shaped’ object with no engine or thermal signals.
‘I saw an egg, a white egg,’ the pilot explained. ‘It’s inconsistent with anything I’d ever seen before,’ Barber told NewsNation.
His next order was to retrieve it from the ground, which he said was when he knew for sure the craft was not of this world.
‘I can also tell you that the reaction by my team, we all knew we were dealing with something extraordinary,’ the pilot said.
‘Over the last couple of years, it’s been confirmed to me by ranking members of the UAP task force that what we were working with that night was, in fact, NHI [non-human intelligence] and it was not a unique experience,’ he said.
UAP stands for ‘unidentified anomalous phenomena’ and is a term used by the Department of Defense to describe mysterious objects in the sky.
Three high-level military veterans are said to corroborate Barber’s story, according to NewsNation.
Jake Barber, now a chief helicopter pilot in California, said he has witnessed alien craft while working for a secret UFO retrieval program
He spoke with NewsNation special network correspondent Ross Coulthart in his first whistleblower interview.
When asked exactly how he knew the ‘egg’ was of alien origin, Barber said: ‘Just visually looking at the object on the ground, you could tell that it was extraordinary and anomalous. It was it was not human.
Barber’s LinkedIn profile states he is a ‘disabled veteran,’ but the account does not list his years in the Air Force.
The page shows that he is from California where he works as a chief pilot at San Joaquin Helicopters & Coastal Helicopters.
The full interview with Barber, titled ‘Hunting UFOs: The Crash Retrieval Whistleblower,’ is set to air on Saturday, January 18th at 8pm ET.
Barber’s description matched another witness report from 1957 when two Civil Aeronautics Administration controllers in the tower at New Mexico’s Kirtland Air Force Base saw ‘an egg-shaped object.’
M. Kaser and E. G. Brink claimed they witnessed a white light traveling eastwards across the runway, left, then crossed other runways and areas of the airfield.
They claimed the mysterious object did not have wings, a tail or a fuselage, and was elongated vertically.
Many military personnel claimed to have witnessed UFOs. This image, obtained April 28, 2020, was taken by Navy pilots in 2017. Navy Cmdr David Fravor, who saw it, testified under oath in a hearing where he discussed the experience
And it appeared to be 12 to 20 feet tall, according to a report in UFO Evidence.
The men reported the object was about the size of an automobile standing on its nose, and had a single white light at its base.
‘When the object was about 3000 feet ENE of the tower, it stopped completely and hovered for about a minute,’ reads the case report.
‘Then it began moving again, slowly at first, but then suddenly climbing at an extremely rapid rate of speed until it disappeared into the overcast sky.
‘The object was in clear view at all time, with no intervening obstructions, according to the two men.’
They requested the radar control team track the object as it moved east, with radar showing it turning south at very high speeds ‘until it reached the vicinity of the Albuquerque Low-Frequency Range Station, where it circled for several minutes.’
The object was then said to circle back to the Air Force base and follow behind a plane that had just taken off if to avoid detection.
