Air Force Veteran Reveals Shocking Involvement in Secret UFO Retrieval Program
Air Force veteran Jake Barber has come forward with groundbreaking claims about his involvement in a secret UFO retrieval program. Speaking with investigative journalist Ross Coulthart on NewsNation, Barber recounted his experiences as a helicopter pilot tasked with recovering highly classified crash debris. During one specific operation, he witnessed a white, egg-shaped object on the ground. He described his initial realization as striking, noting that the object was unlike any conventional craft or technology he had encountered. “It became very clear the first time,” Barber stated, referring to the anomaly, “our communication process was modified,” indicating an abrupt shift in protocol to handle the unique situation. He observed the object up close, operating at a distance of about 150 feet with a longline helicopter attachment. Despite extensive experience in aviation, Barber was struck by the object’s lack of visible propulsion systems, engines, or any conventional mechanisms for flight. Even under night-vision goggles, the craft emitted no detectable energy signature. “It was clearly something extraordinary and anomalous,” Barber emphasized, adding that the nature of the object left no doubt in his mind—or in the minds of his team—that it was not of human origin.
Barber’s account is bolstered by corroboration from three other military veterans who have gone on the record to support his claims. He further revealed that members of a government UAP task force later confirmed to him that the object he retrieved was, in fact, extraterrestrial in origin. Barber described this confirmation as a pivotal moment in his understanding of the incident, stating, “It’s been confirmed to me by ranking members of the UAP task force that what we were working with that night was an HIV (High-Value Item).” His interactions with the task force, combined with his firsthand observations, strengthened his conviction that this was not an isolated event. Barber also disclosed that he had met with senior Senate staff to share details about his experiences and the broader implications of such retrieval operations, suggesting an ongoing effort to address these revelations at the highest levels of government.
Wait, so are they actually going to show the retrieval footage? 😮

NewsNation’s special report, Hunting UFOs: The Crash Retrieval Whistleblower, set to air on January 18 at 8 p.m. ET, promises to get deeper into Barber’s story and provide exclusive footage of one of these retrieval operations. The program will also feature additional evidence, interviews, and unseen visuals that highlight the gravity of Barber’s claims. With lawmakers and the public already captivated by his account, the special is expected to shed further light on what could be one of the most significant UFO disclosures to date.
Previously, in a recent episode of “Triggered with Donald Trump Jr.,” significant revelations emerged regarding a covert government program dedicated to retrieving alien aircraft. The episode, titled “Out of this World: Breaking News Investigation on Secret Alien Aircrafts,” featured investigative journalist Ross Coulthart and former U.S. government official Lue Elizondo, who discussed encounters with non-human technology and the systemic secrecy surrounding these operations.
Donald Trump Jr.’s involvement in breaking the story about secret alien aircraft retrieval programs is particularly significant given the timing. His father, Donald Trump, is set to be sworn in as the 47th (and 45th) President of the United States on January 20, 2025, marking his second term in office. This connection lends added weight to the revelation, as the incoming administration will play a pivotal role in shaping UAP disclosure policies and addressing public demands for transparency.
Previously on December 16, 2024, referred to as “Official Disclosure Day by Donald Trump,” significant updates emerged about UFO activity. Donald Trump shared concerns over UFO sightings near Bedminster, speculating on non-hostile origins while questioning governmental secrecy. Throughout late 2024, UFO sightings increased globally, involving advanced behaviors like electromagnetic interference. Reports included an UFO morphing into a plane, raising debates over cloaking technology. Calls for transparency intensified, with whistleblowers leaking immaculate constellation images and high-profile advocates pushing for disclosure. This day underscored growing public and political pressure to unveil the truth about UFOs and non-human intelligence.
