The UFO, as described in the 51:00 video transcript, was a white, egg-shaped object observed during a nighttime retrieval operation. The craft lacked any visible propulsion system, engine, or thermal signature, making it highly anomalous.
Jake Barber, the helicopter pilot conducting the retrieval, approached within 150 feet of the object while operating with night vision goggles. He was able to get a clear view of the craft both with and without the goggles.
The object’s design was sufficiently unusual that Barber and his team immediately believed it to be of non-human origin. Its appearance was described as “ridiculously looking” and entirely inconsistent with anything Barber had encountered before. Notably, Barber is allegedly part of a “recovery team” with prior experience recovering both known and unknown craft.
BTW, the size of the egg-shaped UFO was hinted at in the video transcript. Jake Barber, the helicopter pilot, mentioned that he operated with 150- to 200-foot-long lines during the retrieval and got within 150 feet of the object. While he did not explicitly state the object’s size, this proximity suggests it was substantial enough to warrant the use of long lines for transportation, implying it was likely not small. However, no specific dimensions were directly provided.
The egg shape is the same shape as the 1945 Trinity claimed crash retrieval discussion in this book:

But did Robin Williams pop out and greet him with, “Nanu, nanu”?
