On Saturday, an exclusive interview aired on News Nation in which Jacob Barber, a retired U.S. Air Force serviceman, made a bombshell claim to Australian journalist Ross Coulthart: that he had served for years as part of an alleged covert program that recovered spacecraft of non-human origin. Amid claims of encounters with UAP, Barber also told of alleged "psionics" employed by the U.S. government, who assist in summoning these craft... but are the claims simply too outrageous to be true?
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we dive into Barber's background, and what can be determined about the airman's shocking claims, as well as the red flags that our investigation has already revealed in its early stages. Will Barber's story stand as a defining moment in UAP studies, or as a cautionary tale for future investigations?
