Jake Barber, a veteran and former helicopter pilot contracted by the US government, has come forward with allegations that he was directly involved in the recovery of non-human technology.
Speaking to NewsNation’s Ross Coulthart, Barber shared details of a specific mission that appears to defy conventional explanations.
Barber told of an operation in which he recovered a peculiar white, egg-shaped vessel. “Just visually looking at the object on the ground, you could see that it was extraordinary and abnormal,” he said. “It wasn’t human.”
“It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. I can also tell you that from my team’s response, we all knew we were dealing with something extraordinary.”
Barber claimed that senior members of the UAP Task Force later confirmed to him that the device was associated with “NHI (non-human intelligence)” and that such incidents were not unique.
NewsNation sought clarification from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), the Pentagon’s official UFO investigation arm. However, their response cast doubt on Barber’s claims.
“[AARO] has discovered no verifiable information to substantiate claims that programs involving the possession or reverse engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or currently exist,” said Department of Defense spokesperson Sue Gough.
Does this official denial mean that Barber’s story is false? Or is this another example of embezzlement?
The plot became even more complicated when NewsNation released a video clip that allegedly showed a white, egg-shaped object — remarkably similar to Barber’s description — dangling beneath a helicopter during what appeared to be a retrieval operation.
The video, while intriguing, could easily depict an everyday object or operation. But why would Barber risk his credibility by coming forward if there was nothing more to it?
