A retired US Air Force veteran has revealed that it is certain that the US government has been involved in the recovery of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), a project in which he has participated for many years. His first encounter with a non-human aircraft was a egg-shaped UFO, and to this day, he still does not know what exactly that object was.
In a recent interview with “NewsNation” television channel, Jacob Barber shared his experiences with the program’s special correspondent and investigative journalist Ross Coulthart. The interview was broadcast on the channel on January 18th.
Barber stated that for the past 30 years, he has worked as an official and unofficial partner for the US government and its intelligence community. In the late 1990s, he served as an aerospace mechanic in the US Air Force and later worked for the Air Force Special Operations Command, eventually transitioning to unofficial roles within the Department of Defense and intelligence community.
“We are in a rare opportunity in human history. Clearly, we know there are things flying in the sky that are unexplainable and incomprehensible, which is another thing that I can provide information about on my own,” he said.
While former US Department of Defense intelligence officer David Grusch previously claimed that the US government has been recovering intact and damaged UFOs for years, Barber’s involvement sets him apart as someone who not only knew about the government’s secret UFO recovery program but actively participated in it over the years.
For Barber, everything changed around September 11, 2001. He left the Air Force and was sent to California, where he began serving as an independent contractor tasked with covertly recovering UFOs for the US government.
As a helicopter pilot and member of a recovery team, Barber was assigned to recover crashed aircraft at an undisclosed testing facility in the desert where the US government and its private partners conducted various tests, including weapon systems and the resilience of certain aircraft’s weapon systems, leading to encounters with extraordinary phenomena.
Barber encountered strange entities that would momentarily disappear and reappear, objects that moved swiftly, and items that changed color or shape. He distinctly recalls encountering a non-human aircraft – a pearl white, metallic object the size of a sports utility vehicle (SUV) while operating a helicopter with a 150 to 200-foot rope in the vicinity.
Though not explicitly informed that it was a non-human aircraft, Barber was certain it was not man-made based on its distinctiveness and the reactions of his team members to handling such an unusual object. Even today, he remains uncertain about what the object truly was or where it may currently be stored, speculating it could have been taken to a secure facility.
Barber mentioned that the encounters with UFOs seemed to have adverse effects on his and his team members’ health, citing a specific incident involving a mysterious box that led to severe illnesses necessitating hospital stays and unexpected health issues like hair loss and skin problems.
Most notably, Barber underwent a health assessment from Stanford University pathology professor Garry Nolan at the request of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) due to years of studying abnormal injuries among US military personnel. Nolan is currently evaluating and treating Barber based on his extensive medical records, suspecting exposure to some form of radiation as a possible cause for his acute injuries.
