Whistleblower reveals UAP retrieval program; object caught on video | NewsNation

In October 2024, an unknown man stepped out of the shadows, arriving in our nation’s capital to deliver an important message about what the public calls “UFOs” and what the government calls “UAPs,” or unidentified aerial phenomena.

His name is Jacob Barber, and he says for the past 30 years, he’s worked in both an official and unofficial capacity for the United States government and its partners in the intelligence community.

What he knows, and what he’s here to tell Congress, could change the world.

" The skies are not classified and your mind cannot be redacted." This has got to be one of the greatest quotes ever.

My deepest admiration and gratitude to these brave men who have risked their lives and careers to reveal the truth. They deserve to be protected.

Disclosure is not a single event—not a single testimony, and not a single video. It’s a process, and we’re in it. This is yet another data point that overwhelmingly supports the NHI phenomena.

Ross this is the most important topic of our lifetimes, we don’t need the dramatic music and b-roll footage of Jake looking tough standing in a park. We just want a raw unedited interview. We don’t need you to ham this up with cliffhangers. It’s cringy. For life-changing news, this will make anybody on the fence laugh.

My issue with these videos is the dramatic theatrics and editing. The tone of the narration and the background music is keeping me from taking this seriously. If this is all true, then this subject needs to be handled better and treated less like an episode of Ancient Aliens.

EDIT: Whoa, I didn't expect this many people to react to my comment. So here is my truth: I do believe in this subject and have for many years. I'm actually a....(drumroll)...journalist, and I know that in order for viewers to take information seriously, the delivery MUST be delivered just the same. Otherwise you risk losing the population of skeptics. My original comment wasnt directed to the believers, rather for the skeptics and non-believers.

He said disclosure wouldn't be an ontological shock to the world, it would be an ontological RELIEF for everyone. What a great line. Everyone knows this stuff is real and thousands/millions have experienced/seen something but we've been conditioned not to talk about it for fear of ridicule. What a RELIEF it will be when the truth comes out and the constant lying stops. This video is a huge step forward, thank you Ross and everyone involved!

I wonder if 2000 years ago when people claimed to see temples floating in the sky if other people acted the same way towards them as we do towards whistleblowers.

[ashe-elle]

We stand with you Jake!!!!

Thank you and your Team, for coming out!!!!😘

[GraphicdesignforFree]

After 80 years of secrecy, it's time for the truth!

[Cynexius]

Allegedly, they detected a signal from the egg-shaped UFO, but it got scrambled.

[Truthbetold]

I had a ufo hover above my garden at around 50ft and felt the exact emotions he is talking about. It changed my life forever

[markestes]

Jake,
If this message finds it's way to you, please know that there are many of us who believe in you and are grateful for your bravery in coming out about this! Thank you for that! Please continue with your work and let us know the truth! May God bless you and your team and may he keep you all safe from those who would want to do you harm or silence you!

[vehm]

Wow! It seems to me that during the second retrieval he explains that the "energy/being" involved had - for whatever reason - conveyed pure unadulterated empathy toward him.... Powerful, meaningful, and beautiful. Life changing for sure.

[cameronclapp]

Jake is absolutely a hero! Thank you for your courage, service to humanity, sharing your story with the world, and commitment to the truth!

This one broadcast has done more to damage the whole subject than any other in many years, and that was probably the intention all along.

I'm not sure what people were expecting, but i, for one, appreciate Jake Barber coming forward, especially with an emotionally impacting testimony. Given his background as an Airforce pilot, a security operative for NATO in Bosnia, and an unofficial DoD contractor, i know that, for a fact, he was trained to be manly and hard. Despite the potential of mass ridicule, he came forward with a testimony of what he had seen and retrieved while out in the deserts for private contractors. The fact Lt. Col John Blitch confirmed that there is indeed a crash retrieval program of UFOs, should get the ear of the national security advisor and senate intelligence committee. Thank you, Barber. we appreciate your service.

Remember when the Chinese balloon was shot down. They also shot 2 other objects that were in different parts of the US. But then it just went quiet and focused on the Chinese balloon.

[kevinmorris]

Let me kindly remind everyone what a battle this is, including for myself. It's easy to judge and appear negative towards these whistleblowers. If we were in their circumstances, fighting to disclose information, the conversation would be different. Now is not the time to go cold and criticize; instead, let's stay as positive and supportive as possible in backing the whistleblower for disclosure.

[andymack]

few things that raise my eyebrow. Why is the footage appearing in NV? Why is there no UI on the video if its Military equipment? What was this recorded on? Why is there only one angle? wheres the rest of the footage - can we just see the RAW video? Why didn't he record anything else?

I want to believe.

[keleighwoodards]

Fascinating interview Ross! Keep them coming! I’ve known since I was a little girl that we weren’t alone in this universe, and saw 3 UFOs in Broken Hill sky in 2009…. Ill never forget
