USAF soldier ‘recovered egg-shaped UFO’ for government as bizarre video emerges

Is this our first close-up look at a spacecraft from another world? Leading UFO pundit Ross Coulthart claims he has obtained secret footage from inside the Pentagon’s UAP crash retrieval program

An extraordinary video supposedly showed a crashed alien craft being recovered by a US Air Force helicopter has been released by a whistleblower.

The clip, which leading UAP pundit Ross Coulthart claims was secretly recorded by a member of the Pentagon’s secret UFO crash retrieval team, shows a 20-foot “egg-shaped” object suspended in a sling, apparently beneath a helicopter.

The footage chimes with a description given to Coulthart by former US Air Force mechanic Jacob Barber, who claims to have taken part in the retrieval of a similar craft. Barber says that he left the Air Force shortly after September 11, 2001, and established a “cover” identity as a civilian contractor.

Barber told Coulthart: “A lot of the work we did was on what I call ‘The Range,’ where the US government and its private partners used to test all kinds of things — weapon systems and resilience to weapon systems of certain craft — and so you see a lot of exciting things.”

But, although he witnessed tests of numerous advanced military aircraft prototypes, nothing could prepare him for his encounter with an anomalous craft that seemed to have no wings, windows, or propulsion system. “Just visually looking at the object on the ground, you could tell that it was extraordinary and anomalous. It was not human,” he said.

Barber says he was tasked with the retrieval of this strange object, and deployed a sling from his helicopter on the end of a 150-foot “long line” to carry it. His description of what he recovered that day sounds like no known type of aircraft.

“I saw an egg, a white egg,” he said. “There was no engine. There was no thermal signature. I was operating at night when I finally came in to pick it up. So, I’m working under night vision goggles at the time, and it was quite clear. I flipped them up, flipped them down and looked at it a couple of different ways.”

Following his experience, Barber says that it was confirmed to him by his superiors that the mysterious white “egg” was a craft built by “NHI,” (nonhuman intelligence). He went on to encounter several other apparently alien craft during his service with the USAF.

He continued: “There was another object. One was the egg, the other is what I called an ‘eightgon.’ The eightgon was essentially a flying disc with what looked like eight delineated sections when looking down.”

He says that he only ever saw the object from above, because his task was solely to pick them up from ‘The Range’ and deliver them top a secret USAF research facility. He has no concrete information on what the USAF was doing with these objects, but describes seeing “trans-medium” craft that appeared to be able to fly through the air but also to pass through solid matter.

Barber went on to say that some USAF personnel had been trained in a form of telepathy that enabled them to control these aircraft. “In the program, there was certainly a desire to explore the idea that perhaps UAP could be summoned, could be communicated with, could be controlled and could be persuaded to land, all by deploying people with psionic abilities to interface and communicate with the UAP,” he claimed.

These “psionic” phenomena around the UFOs affected Barber directly. On one occasion, he says, he had a quasi-religious experience while en route to pick up another one of the strange craft: “I felt like something connected with me,” he said.

“I felt like something had tuned in to me and my soul and was providing me some sense of guidance on what to do and how profound what I was doing was. It was so overwhelming that I began to cry.”

He adds that he began to fear for his life after seeing just how far Pentagon officials would go to maintain the cover-up of their contact with extraterrestrials. Asa result, he says, he has met with US senator Marco Rubio – Donald Trump’s incoming secretary of state – to share what he knows in hope of getting some protection.

The footage itself, shown by Coulthart in a News Nation special over the weekend, has divided viewers. Some suggested that the “egg-shaped object” was simply an egg, and that the entire clip was an elaborate hoax.

With Donald Trump promising to lift the lid on other long-running conspiracy theories, such as the truth about the 1963 Kennedy assassination, the truth about Barber’s experiences could very soon be revealed.
