Alright, UFO sightings—the military can't explain them. Congressional hearings, Pentagon whistleblowers, and armadas of strange aircraft flying over, of all places, New Jersey. What does it all mean?
Since last year's groundbreaking interview with whistleblower David Grusch, NewsNation has been leading the coverage on this story. And now, we have another major exclusive. A whistleblower is coming forward, not just claiming he's heard about a secret government program to retrieve UFO crash remains—he says he's worked on it.
He claims to have video evidence, credentials, and colleagues who back him up. He’s also caught the attention of at least one senior lawmaker. NewsNation's Ross Coulthart has been working on this story for over a year and conducted the interview for a special report airing this Saturday at 8:00 PM Eastern. NewsNation correspondent Joe Khalil is here with a first look. Joe, these are pretty stunning claims.
Joe Khalil:
Yeah, they are, Elizabeth. The man in the video, Jake Barbour, is an Air Force veteran coming forward with shocking claims. He’s the first person to publicly state that he directly participated in a secret military program to retrieve UFO or alien craft.
Barbour says he was contracted as a helicopter pilot to retrieve all kinds of crashed craft. While some were top secret but explainable, he believes others were of non-human origin. And he’s not alone—three other military veterans are backing up his story, on the record and on camera. Take a listen to part of Ross Coulthart’s conversation with Barbour.
Ross Coulthart (interview):
So, tell me about the moment when you realized you were involved in a retrieval.
Jake Barbour:
It became very clear the first time our communication process was modified. And visually, just looking at the object on the ground, you could tell it was extraordinary and anomalous. It was not human.
Ross Coulthart:
How close did you get?
Jake Barbour:
Well, I was a helicopter pilot, operating with 150- to 200-foot-long lines, so I got within 150 feet of this object.
Ross Coulthart:
What did you see?
Jake Barbour:
I saw a shiny white object. There was no visible propulsion system, no engine, no signature. I was operating at night under night vision goggles, and it was quite clear. I flipped them up and down and looked at it in a couple of different ways.
Ross Coulthart:
How did you know it was of non-human origin?
Jake Barbour:
After seeing all kinds of things in my career, it was clearly something ridiculous, something inconsistent with anything I’d ever seen before. The reaction from my team confirmed it—we all knew we were dealing with something extraordinary.
Joe Khalil:
Barbour also claims that this experience has been confirmed to him by ranking members of the UAP Task Force, who told him the object was indeed a UFO. He adds that this wasn’t a unique experience.
This Saturday at 8:00 PM Eastern, you’ll see the special report, including exclusive video of one of these retrievals—footage that has never been shown before. We’ve also confirmed that Barbour has met with high-level Senate staff.
Host:
Wow, that’s a blockbuster. Alright, Joe Khalil, thanks so much. Everyone can watch the special report, *Hunting UFOs*, this weekend.
That's original.;-)
The classic Lonnie Zamora sighting was of a landed egg shaped craft, but that one was reported by the officer of having a rocket-like exhaust.
Yeah, none of these are real “whistleblowers.” They have been allowed to discuss these matters or ordered to.
Years ago a video was released in a limited way claiming to be a film of the post mortem of alien beings that crash landed in 1947 at Roswell.
Funny thing was I noticed all the Doctors and Nurses involved in this so-called “Top Secret” documentation were wearing disposable gloves, aprons, masks and head coverings...
In 1947 there were no disposable garments or gear. All they had then were washable cotton clothing for masks, head coverings and aprons.
Ha, ha, ha, yet another hoax by a charlatan. People are making money by fooling the public.
Has anybody ever seen a clear and focused image of a UFO? Why are they always blurry?
Only one thing changed in the sky from 1945-1948...the jet engine. THAT is what people could not identify back then.
Government or military retrieval policy or set of procedures is absolutely believable.
*shrug*
If a Mig35 crashes on a farm in Pennsylvannia, do you think we should just leave it their for the local yokels to play with?
What strains believability are fantastic descriptions of technology supposedly retrieved, and even more so, jumping to the conclusion that they are of other-wordly origins.
If a helicopter pilot was asked to help retrieve a B-2 Stealth bomber in 1979, he would have said it was a UFO.
Nothing wrong with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Yes. It’s the slow roll.
“No, that’s not happening.”
“We are almost sure that isn’t happening.”
“If that is happening, we don’t really understand it.”
“Well, maybe it’s happening. We’re not sure.”
“Of course it’s happening. That is old news. What difference, at this point, does it make?”
By the way....the slow roll isn’t about aliens. It’s about the advanced tech the government has been developing for the past 70 years.

And I like to see that there are still lots of fresh new videos of people claiming to have shot Kennedy.
The last time the Trumps were in the White House they were spied on and undermined by the CIA, FBI, all of the intelligence leaders and even the leaders of their own party.
I’m not convinced that Don Jr is being looked after by the deepstate and given the best information.
This kind of information doesn’t come from the deep state.
I have read a ridiculous number of UFO books and I can safely say that nobody has claimed to see a UFO that looked anything like that picture.
Lol.
“.the slow roll isn’t about aliens. It’s about the advanced tech the government has been developing for the past 70 years.”
I think it is both—but at the end of the day if the technology is as advanced as I think it is (using “impossible” physics) then it may not matter that much where it came from—the impact on all humans would be incredible.
“The UFO, as described in the 51:00 video transcript, was a white, egg-shaped object observed during a nighttime retrieval operation.”
But did Robin Williams pop out and greet him with, “Nanu, nanu”?
As the post pointed out, some people’s minds work with what they have and even with the many variables of eyesight among people, and with distance, etc and that plane does come close to many descriptions, it would look like a saucer to many and would be recognizable to none.
LOL! You just did if you think that's what people are seeing.
If you read the crash retrieval literature (link below) it is clear there is no “mis-identification” going on in those cases.

The “lights in the sky” stuff is mostly noise which either intentionally or unintentionally obscures the signal.
