Last night, second-tier cable news channel NewsNation gave credulous UFO journalist Ross Coulthart a primetime slot to reveal the latest supposed UFO whistleblower's claims. It was another fiasco from the gang that couldn't shoot straight. Jacob Barber claims that he participated in the retrieval on a small egg-shaped craft on behalf of a secret UFO crash retrieval program, one so secret he didn't know he was part of it. He provided footage of the retrieval to the Pentagon's UFO office and to NewsNation. “Just visually looking at the object on the ground, you could tell that it was extraordinary and anomalous,” Barber said before gushing about the paranormal, spiritual connection he felt to its non-human intelligence. “It was not human.” Social media lit up with instant analysis, much of it revolving around the accompanying video, which many said appears to show an aerostat blimp or other type of balloon, not an alien spaceship. In the video, the object sways and rolls while tethered to a helicopter. The Pentagon gave a statement to Steven Greenstreet of the New York Post confirming that AARO is aware of the video and did not assess anything non-human about it. Barber, however, rests his claims on the UAP Task Force that preceded AARO, a task force staffed with UFO believers like Travis Taylor and Jay Stratton. Members of that task force allegedly told Barber the egg-shaped seeming balloon was a vehicle piloted by non-human intelligence. Greenstreet also reported that Barber launched his own UFO organization, Skywatcher, in November, and its website is owned by Alex Klokus, the co-founder of the SALT conference, where UFO figures frequently speak to tech and financial elites.

The only way you can believe people that believe in such modern versions of gnomes, fairies and hobgoblins.

On a good day I feel kinda bad about not paying rent but you do seem to have a lot of empty space. I know you'd be a success from Milan to Minsk if you weren't in that ankle bracelet but you are in that ankle bracelet Blanche! Like living one of the darker episodes of the George Reeves Superman TV series over and over. You know the one. The stairs, the basement?

Over the last several weeks posts under the name Kent have constituted nearly 30 percent of the comments here. Add in the comments he has left under other names and the number is probably approaching 40 percent.

Literally looks like an egg laying in the grass tied to some fishing line.

Serious question: does that look like Duct Tape? It seems to show the actual cross-ribbing that Duct Tape is known for.

I may have misread, I'm kinda sick today. But are they saying that the balloon was "piloted by a non-human intelligence"? I guess that several humans might be filled with wind. But the wind itself is not human. They might be unintentionally telling the truth. Or maybe I misread due to illness. But I'm going with "these people think the wind is a non-human intelligence' for the time being.
