A US Air Force veteran has reportedly confirmed his involvement in retrieving 'alien' technology.
We've heard a lot of rumors of secretive UFO retrieval programs in recent years and now according to reports, Jake Barber - a US Air Force veteran who was contracted as a helicopter pilot - has claimed that he was personally involved in retrieving such objects on behalf of the US government.

Speaking to NewsNation's Ross Coulthart, he described one particular incident in which he was tasked with retrieving a white, egg-shaped craft that he believed was definitely not of human origin.

"Just visually looking at the object on the ground, you could tell that it was extraordinary and anomalous," he said. "It was not human."

"It's inconsistent with anything I'd ever seen before. I can also tell you that the reaction by my team, we all knew we were dealing with something extraordinary."

"Over the last couple years, it's been confirmed to me by ranking members of the UAP task force that what we were working with that night was, in fact, NHI (nonhuman intelligence) and it was not a unique experience."
After the interview, NewsNation actually reached out to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) - the Pentagon's official UFO investigation branch - to ask them about what he'd said.

"[AARO] has not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently," Department of Defense spokesperson Sue Gough replied.

The story doesn't end there, however, as NewsNation later obtained and published a remarkable video clip that shows a white, egg-shaped object - just like that described by Barber - dangling in a sling beneath a helicopter during what is thought to be a UFO retrieval operation.

Could this be evidence confirming that what Barber said is true ?
