Pentagon issues bombshell announcement about egg-shaped UFO case

The Pentagon has revealed that it is now investigating claims made by a government contractor that he retrieved a crashed ‘egg-shaped’ UFO.

Jake Barber came out as a whistleblower in January, saying he piloted helicopters during secret missions to collect alien technology.

Speaking to NewsNation, Barber said he flew 150 feet above an ‘egg-shaped’ object with no engine or thermal signatures.

‘I saw an egg, a white egg,’ the pilot explained. ‘It’s inconsistent with anything I’d ever seen before,’ Barber said in January.

Now, the US Department of Defense (DoD) has confirmed it is looking into the case.

It’s the latest report of UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena) the Pentagon admits they’re actively investigating – adding this case to 21 others.

Those 21 UAP investigations were part of a stunning report which revealed that the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) received 757 cases of UAP encounters from US authorities mainly between May 1, 2023 and June 1, 2024.

That bombshell total included 272 incidents which occurred prior to 2023 but had never been reported publicly.

AARO is the defense department’s group in charge of investigating reports of UFOs and UAPs made by government agencies.

According to AARO, it is the first government office that synchronizes the efforts of the DoD and other agencies to collect, report, and analyze all data on UAPs.

At the moment, only military personnel can make a UAP report to AARO, which must be first sent to their commanding officers or agencies.

For civilian pilots who see a UFO, AARO says they should tell air traffic control and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will send those reports to the DoD.

As for everyday people who see something strange in the sky, AARO does not have a way for them to report their experiences, adding that ‘we will announce when a reporting mechanism is available for others to use.’

The public can still send information about their sightings to the National UFO Reporting Center, which is a non-governmental group documenting UFO encounters since 1974.

Not everyone is convinced the Pentagon and AARO will finally reveal everything Washington knows about UFOs and the possibility of alien encounters.

Investigative journalist Ross Coulthart noted that the new director of AARO, Dr. Jon T. Kosloski, has very limited power when it comes to revealing government secrets.

Before taking over AARO, Dr. Kosloski previously worked for the Research Directorate of the National Security Agency and as a subject matter expert, advising several agencies within the DoD.

‘The Pentagon dictates what he is allowed to reveal and what he’s allowed to say publicly, and there isn’t a very proud history of the Pentagon wanting to be very forthcoming,’ Coulthart told NewsNation.

Coulthart went on to claim that he believes the US government has been covering up its retrieval of what he called ‘non-human technology’ for decades.

Moreover, he cited the ‘mixed messages’ members of the Trump Administration have been putting out when it comes to being transparent about UAP.

That includes the administration’s handling of the swarms of mysterious drones over New Jersey and other states in 2024 – which officials dismissed as simply ‘FAA-authorized drones.’

As for the 757 UAP reports revealed to the public in November, AARO said it expected to or has already dismissed nearly 300 as balloons, birds, or drones.

Over 400 allegedly didn’t have enough data to keep the investigations open, leaving just 21 for AARO to continue probing – along with Jake Barber’s egg-shaped craft.

Coulthart noted that a lot of what the public can expect to hear about Barber’s encounter will depend on the new Trump Administration.

‘It really does rest with the president and also, to some degree, with the Congress whether or not we’re going to get any movement on any further disclosure about this alleged covert program,’ Coulthart said Sunday.

For those hoping for more disclosure, however, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida was recently appointed to lead a new task force focused on declassifying ‘government secrets’ – including the origin of UFOs.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said, ‘Rep. Luna is committed to shining a light on the truth and ending the era of secrecy.’
