U.S. Air Force veteran Jake Barber recovered a 20 foot egg-shaped craft with no visible signs of propulsion via helicopter at an undisclosed location.

“I saw an egg, a white egg,” Barber told the outlet. “It’s inconsistent with anything I’d ever seen before. I can also tell you that the reaction by my team, we all knew we were dealing with something extraordinary.”
“Over the last couple [of] years, it’s been confirmed to me by ranking members of the UAP task force that what we were working with that night was, in fact, NHI (nonhuman intelligence) and it was not a unique experience,” he added.
The Internet Roasts Air Force Veteran Who Claims to Have Worked for Secret UFO Recovery Program
However, denizens of the internet were less than impressed with the footage. Many also pointed out how an egg-shaped aircraft was the preferred method of transportation by Mork, the zany alien played by Robin Williams in the classic sitcom Mork & Mindy.
“They captured Mork,” one X user wrote in response to the footage, alongside a picture of a Mork “eggship radio” from back in the day. “Has Mork been found?” another X user joked.
Meanwhile, other X users found the footage even less compelling.
“That is literally an Egg. Not an Egg shaped Craft. An Egg. What is that surface, a mowed lawn? Why isn’t anything moving from the prop wash?” another onlooker wondered. “This is a great way to get UFO believers to become non-believers lol. What a waste of time,” another X user bemoaned.
However, writer and filmmaker Rick Broussard was much more kind to the footage.
“The whole segment raised more questions than it answered, but frankly I’m glad to hear the questions asked on the TV,” Broussard wrote on X. “I think the egg drop shot was mildly compelling combined with the testimony that was offered. Anything can be faked, but if what we saw is accurately described in that image — it’s pretty freaky. And if more is to come, this first glimpse could become an eerie icon.”
For the time being, a weary nation turns its eyes to the skies (and maybe to a streaming service to watch old episodes of Mork & Mindy…)
