On January 20, 2025, a whistleblower released extraordinary footage showing a 20-foot "egg-shaped" UFO being retrieved by a US Air Force helicopter. The video, claimed to be filmed by a member of the Pentagon's secret UAP crash retrieval team, has sparked significant debate.
Former US Air Force mechanic Jacob Barber, who participated in similar recoveries, described the object as having no visible means of propulsion or thermal signature. He stated, "Just visually looking at the object on the ground, you could tell that it was extraordinary and anomalous. It was not human." Barber described the UFO as a "white egg" and recounted his experience of retrieving it at night using night vision goggles.
Barber revealed that his superiors confirmed the object was built by "nonhuman intelligence" (NHI) and shared his experiences of encountering other alien craft, including a disc-shaped vehicle he called an "eightgon." He noted that some USAF personnel were trained in telepathy to communicate with these crafts.
The footage's release has drawn mixed reactions, with 94% of viewers in a poll expressing disappointment. Critics have mocked the video's quality, suggesting it resembles a home video rather than a significant revelation.
As public interest in UFOs grows, especially with political figures like Donald Trump promising to unveil more truths, the implications of Barber's claims and the authenticity of the footage remain a hot topic.
