(NewsNation) — In October 2024, an chartless antheral stepped retired of the shadows, arriving successful our nation’s superior to present an important connection astir what the nationalist calls "UFOs" and what the authorities calls "UAPs," oregon unidentified aerial phenomena.
His sanction is Jacob Barber, and helium says for the past 30 years, he’s worked successful some an authoritative and unofficial capableness for the United States authorities and its partners successful the quality community.
What helium knows, and what he’s present to archer Congress, could alteration the world.
"We're successful this uncommon accidental successful quality past wherever it's precise wide that we cognize that determination are things flying successful the entity that are unexplained and un-understood, and that's different 1 of the things that I'm uniquely providing accusation on,” Barber said.
Others person alleged there’s a concealed authorities UAP retrieval programme that’s been going connected for decades. People similar David Grusch and Lue Elizondo. They accidental they’ve been told astir it, they judge it exists, but they weren’t a portion of it themselves.
Barber, however, is different. He says helium was portion of that covert programme that worked with alien spacecraft for years.
NewsNation checked Barber's records and confirmed that helium was an airman successful the U.S. Air Force who worked arsenic an aerospace mechanic successful the precocious 1990s. He was besides recruited into Air Force Special Operations, known arsenic “combat control.” He would yet spell connected to enactment successful a nonofficial capableness for the Defense Department and the quality community.
Barber was a highly talented airplane mechanic who was deployed connected a fig of statesmanlike enactment missions.
But Barber was nary mean mechanic. Being recruited into the Air Force’s Elite Combat Control portion meant helium had a résumé that reads similar thing retired of an enactment thriller: chopper pilot, freefall parachutist, adept marksman and the recipient of a NATO top-secret information clearance — a bequest of his work successful Bosnia, for which helium won an grant for heroism.
In summation to reviewing his authoritative documentation, NewsNation spoke with 3 erstwhile peculiar operations soldiers who corroborated Barber’s credentials.
One of his astir fervent supporters is Col. John Blitch, a Renaissance warrior who besides holds a doctorate successful psychology, was a Delta Force sniper and is 1 of the fewer men to clasp doomsday successful his hands portion commanding a atomic weapons battalion.
Blitch says helium believes Barber’s assertion wholeheartedly and that the U.S. has “absolutely” recovered UAPs.
For Barber, helium says “everything changed” for him astir Sept. 11, 2001.
“I near the Air Force and was sent retired to California astatine that clip to statesman establishing my screen ground arsenic an autarkic contractor truthful that I tin serve. What was coming down the enactment adjacent for maine was the way which led to the UAP subject,” said Barber.
He says helium was contracted arsenic a chopper aviator and was portion of a squad assigned to retrieve crashed craft astatine an undisclosed investigating installation successful the desert.
“A batch of the enactment we did was connected what I telephone ‘the range,’ wherever the U.S. authorities and its backstage partners utilized to trial each kinds of things — limb systems and resilience to limb systems of definite trade — and truthful you spot a batch of breathtaking things,” said Barber.
That’s wherever Barber said helium began to spot unusual things.
“It's ever absorbing retired there,” helium said. “Things travel successful and retired of sight. Things vanish for a infinitesimal and reappear. Things look to determination precise quickly. Things alteration color. They alteration shape.”
Barber said his squad recovered “things that were exotic successful nature."
“We cognize they were classified craft,” helium said. “And we recovered them and took them backmost to wherever they go.”
Barber’s archetypal brushwood with nonhuman intelligence
“Just visually looking astatine the entity connected the ground, you could archer that it was bonzer and anomalous. It was not human,” helium said.
Barber said helium got his archetypal glimpse of “not human” beauteous quickly.
“I was a chopper pilot, and I run with a 150-to-200-foot-long line. So, I got wrong 150 feet of this object,” helium said.
That’s erstwhile helium saw it.
“I saw an egg, a achromatic egg,” helium said. “There was nary engine. There was nary thermal signature. I was operating astatine nighttime erstwhile I yet came successful to prime it up. So, I'm moving nether nighttime imaginativeness goggles astatine the time, and it was rather clear. I flipped them up, flipped them down and looked astatine it a mates of antithetic ways.”
Barber said the “metallic, pearly white” entity was astir the size of an SUV.
“I tin archer you that the absorption by my squad … we each knew we were dealing with thing extraordinary,” helium said.
While Barber said helium was ne'er told the trade wasn’t human, he’s certain.
“I'll archer you that due to the fact that of the absorption of my enactment operation and due to the fact that of my acquisition moving successful that capacity, everyone progressive was convinced that what we were seeing and dealing with was, successful fact, exotic successful its origin,” said Barber. “I volition besides archer you that during this process, implicit the past mates of years, it's been confirmed to maine by ranking members of the UAP Task Force that what we were moving with that nighttime was, successful fact, NHI (nonhuman intelligence), and it was not a unsocial experience.”
Barber said helium inactive doesn’t cognize what precisely the entity was oregon wherever it whitethorn beryllium housed now.
“It would beryllium taken to a unafraid facility. But my relation stops erstwhile I present it,” helium said.
That wasn’t Barber’s lone brushwood with the unexplained.
“There was different object. One was the egg, the different is what I called an ‘eightgon.’ The eightgon was fundamentally a flying disc with what looked similar 8 delineated sections erstwhile looking down,” said Barber. “And I tin archer you what it looked similar from looking down due to the fact that that's chiefly however I saw it. Because I'm a chopper pilot. We did recoveries with the eightgons. There was much than 1 that made its mode to the crushed connected this peculiar operation.”
Barber said what happened adjacent would beryllium 1 of the astir “profound” experiences he’s had successful his life.
“As I get person to this site, I commencement feeling odd, I commencement feeling highly emotional, and the person I get, the much the emotion starts to overwhelm me,” helium said. “I consciousness this aggravated hybrid of sadness and happiness and quality and song, and it was precise disruptive to maine due to the fact that I had a precise applicable work astatine the clip to run a chopper successful the mountains astatine night. And I began wondering, ‘What was incorrect with me?’”
Barber said it didn’t consciousness similar an affectional breakdown but alternatively thing wholly different.
“I felt similar thing connected with me,” helium said. “I felt similar thing had tuned successful to maine and my psyche and was providing maine immoderate consciousness of guidance connected what to bash and however profound what I was doing was. It was truthful overwhelming that I began to cry.”
Barber said helium had ne'er experienced a feeling similar that before.
“It was a precise feminine energy. I'll archer you that it felt similar the tone of God, but not successful immoderate masculine sense. And it wasn't similar a soul; it was similar a frequence that I was connected with. And immoderate that unit was since that night, it has stayed with me. And arsenic brainsick arsenic this sounds, it's what's guiding maine now, and it's what's providing extortion for me.”
Psionics
Barber said his ngo that nighttime came from nary accidental crash. He claims the UAP was summoned by a peculiar squad with peculiar abilities: the "Psionics."
Psionics, according to Barber, are radical with a “predisposition for extratemporal abilities and sensitivities,” much commonly referred to arsenic radical with alleged psychic powers.
“In the program, determination was surely a tendency to research the thought that possibly UAP could beryllium summoned, could beryllium communicated with, could beryllium controlled and could beryllium persuaded to land, each by deploying radical with psionic abilities to interface and pass with the UAP,” said Barber.
It’s thing Barber said helium has witnessed firsthand — and it looks a batch similar meditation. He firmly believes psionics are susceptible of making a intelligence and spiritual transportation to technology.
It’s thing different decorated Special Forces relation and workfellow of Barber says helium has witnessed too.
“I've had the pleasance of gathering aggregate psionic assets,” said Don Paul Bales. “I've seen them function. I cognize that they're susceptible of doing what they're doing.”
It’s an established information that the Pentagon has had an involvement successful psychic abilities — what it calls “remote viewing” — for subject purposes. The famed Project Stargate spent years studying the taxable and contempt the CIA’s authoritative presumption that specified studies yielded nothing.
Despite the wonderment of it all, Barber claims that helium and his squad person suffered superior injuries.
Are UAPs atrocious for your health?
Barber tells NewsNation that these encounters could travel with a staggering outgo to his health.
“We transported what we called ‘mystery boxes’ each the time,” helium said. “I person nary thought … it could person been empty. It astir apt wasn't empty, but we don't cognize what was wrong the boxes.”
Barber and his team, however, were authorized to usage “lethal force” to support their shipments should idiosyncratic effort to prehend them.
“After this peculiar mission, I and everyone connected my squad got highly sick, similar physically ill, successful the hospital,” helium said. “Within weeks aft this, I mislaid each hairsbreadth connected my body, which they telephone alopecia. I besides mislaid the tegument connected my arms, truthful the skin's really falling disconnected your body. I ended up processing a terrible bosom murmur that I'd ne'er had before.”
Last year, NewsNation’s Ross Coulthart introduced Barber to Stanford University immunology prof Dr. Garry Nolan. He’s been studying anomalous injuries among U.S. subject unit for years astatine the behest of the CIA. He agreed to reappraisal decades of Barber’s aesculapian records.
“The acute injuries were evidently severe,” said Nolan. “I mean, the study reads similar a spot of a fearfulness show, to beryllium rather honest. To me, the archetypal happening that came to caput was (Barber) was exposed to immoderate benignant of radiation.”
To this day, Barber is tense that helium whitethorn person immoderate signifier of cancer.
Assuming Barber and his squad were exposed to radiation emanating from the mysterious container they transported, could it person travel from 1 of the galore radioactive materials utilized regularly by the military?
Barber doesn’t judge so.
“Can I enactment connected my speculative chapeau for a minute? Okay, truthful if the Air Force, let's say, knew that what we were moving with that nighttime had immoderate benignant of radiological signature, there's a full acceptable of processes that we're trained successful connected however to woody with that from a hazmat position and a containment perspective,” said Barber.
“And the information that nary of that was evident that nighttime tells maine they didn't cognize what was successful the box, and it got turned connected oregon turned off. It leads maine to believe, successful hindsight each these years, that it whitethorn person been thing of nonhuman root oregon exotic. Let's conscionable accidental exotic. It whitethorn person been thing exotic that activated oregon inactive had immoderate fallout.”
Barber remains nether Nolan’s attraction and is receiving due valuation and treatment.
Stolen hard drives?
It wasn’t conscionable the U.S. authorities funny successful utilizing Barber’s expertise successful UAPs and psionics; his skills were besides needed by backstage companies progressive successful the program. His assignments soon took a crook from recovering UAPs to thing much sinister.
“We were deployed connected a peculiar task to retrieve what we telephone HVTs, oregon 'high-value targets.' Those high-value targets were Panasonic Toughbooks — the delicate worldly that is connected these Toughbooks has to bash with sensor data, video that was illegally captured during immoderate of these operations, immoderate of which whitethorn beryllium incriminating oregon classified now,” said Barber.
Those laptops allegedly contained illegally obtained sensor information from the UAP betterment missions — sensor information that was illegally recorded during UAP betterment missions successful usurpation of top-secret protocols. Barber said the institution contracting him was determined to screen up the laptops’ existence.
“We recovered our archetypal 2 Toughbooks. We got backmost to our basal determination and past went done them and took photographs. Then we discovered that the hard drives were missing,” helium said.
Barber said the adjacent portion of quality that came done led them to a water wherever they recovered the hard drives successful a sealed alloy instrumentality 25 feet underwater.
“Yeah, truthful someone's going done a batch of effort successful bid to fell these things,” helium said.
What began arsenic a straightforward betterment ngo proved to beryllium thing but simple, and Barber says things soon took a nefarious turn.
‘Things got unusual for me’
“The precise adjacent clip we went out, things got unusual for me. My spidey senses, my intuition, was connected precocious alert due to the fact that our intel interaction changed; the bushed and benignant of our intel changed. As we got person to the time successful which we were going to deploy, quality kept changing. That raised my concern, but we ended up going anyway. When we got there, the HVTs were gone, and it was wide that shots had been fired,” said Barber.
Barber was disquieted helium was successful important information and perchance being acceptable up.
“We were being prepared for the 1 happening that we've ever offered employers, and that is plausible deniability and that we were possibly going to beryllium the hidden manus that gets severed,” helium said.
Bales, a Special Forces seasoned who was moving connected Barber’s squad astatine the time, said helium was acrophobic astir a imaginable setup.
“Yes, setup is simply a mild term,” Bales said. "The information that radical person mislaid their lives progressive successful this benignant of enactment — and the links to which radical person gone to suppress politically uncomfortable truths — is specified that determination is hazard involved.”
Barber was convinced his erstwhile employer, oregon idiosyncratic pretending to beryllium them, was determined to termination him.
Barber was past connected the hunt, utilizing his skills and immense web of contacts to find who was down this shadiness warfare fought implicit those missing hard drives. He says the way led him close to the top.
Last spring, Barber and his squad were successful Washington, D.C., conducting surveillance — and yet confronting — 1 of their premier suspects.
“I reached retired to the manager of information for the peculiar enactment and a sister enactment and acceptable up a gathering with them due to the fact that determination were lone 2 truths successful my mind: Either they were complicit, oregon they were compromised,” helium said.
Barber said helium got successful interaction with the caput of information of his erstwhile backstage aerospace institution and was fundamentally told to “forget it.”
“If helium had immoderate cognition astatine all, it was wide helium was trying to region himself from it,” said Barber. “He didn't privation to get involved. But helium did supply immoderate proposal connected wherever we should go.”
Barber was nary person to uncovering retired who wanted him dead, but helium knew that helium was nary longer doing the ngo helium signed up for erstwhile helium archetypal enlisted.
To marque it stop, helium would request much than his handpicked team: He would request Congress, helium would request funding, and helium would request to spell public.
Startling UAP footage
Barber says helium has been recruiting individuals from wrong the programme and forming a caller squad successful coordination with authorities agencies. Barber would not sanction the assorted agencies he’s recruiting from but hopes to “very soon.”
His Skywatcher Team has already deployed connected behalf of the U.S. authorities to analyse past year’s drone sightings connected the East Coast. But earlier that, they were connected the hunt for thing adjacent much elusive.
In August of 2024, Barber and the Skywatcher Team conducted their ain operation, with a psionic asset, to spot if they could summon a UAP themselves. The squad hoped to softly stitchery grounds for Skywatcher but alternatively recovered themselves successful information erstwhile more.
According to the team, Barber says a UAP psychic dogfight erupted successful the entity supra them. He believes the trade summoned by the squad was warring with a rogue UAP piloted by an chartless entity attempting to intercept Skywatcher’s operation.
“And past things got a small weird,” said Barber. “I'd say, 4 oregon 5 minutes into the operation, (the psionic) goes, ‘Something's going on, something's wrong. Get maine retired of here.’ And close astir that time, our overwatch, Fred, looked up to the entity and saw a disc, a classical lenticular-shape disk.”
What Fred Baker and the remainder of the squad saw was an oval ovum — precisely similar the 1 Barber had a erstwhile brushwood with.
NewsNation has independently obtained video recorded during 1 of those UAP retrieval operations. The bonzer footage shows a presumption from the belly of a chopper retrieving 1 of those mysterious eggs.
The ovum resembles a UAP encountered by U.S. Navy fighters disconnected the East Coast successful 2015, suggesting a imaginable transportation betwixt these anomalous objects.
Aside from releasing information and footage similar this to the public, the Skywatcher Team feels it besides has to propulsion the national authorities to disclose what it knows astir the UAP programme — and immoderate transgression enactment that whitethorn person been perpetrated implicit the years to support it secret.
NewsNation has confirmed that past fall, Barber met with staffers for U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, present Donald Trump’s prime for caput of state.
“I consciousness I was capable to capable successful gaps that person been determination for a agelong clip that nary different whistleblower has been capable to do,” Barber said of the meeting.
