UFO Whistleblower Called Congress POWERLESS. Now Congress Just Hired Him

The whistleblower who said Congress is powerless now works for them. When David Grush left Congressman Eric Burleson's office, Burleson hinted at who would take his place. And we finally know who it is. It's Jake Barber. Here is how he described Congress less than two years ago. But our Congress is not in control. They are completely They're ignorant and neutered when it comes to this subject matter. For the most part, they're ignorant and neutered. And where they're not ignorant and neutered, they're corrupt and arrogant. And Barber claims that he flew helicopter recovery missions for craft he believes were not made by humans. He also claims a team can call these objects into the sky on command. Now he is helping a member of the House Oversight Committee totally investigate them. Hey ufologists, I'm Christina Gomez and this is your UFO News Update. So Burleson's spokesman Nate Lucas confirmed to Ben Schreckinger of Paradigm that Barber has joined the office to assist on UAP work. In Burleson's interview with Timothy Albarino a few weeks ago, Burleson hinted that his new hire had appeared on Ross Coulthard's platform and that the investigation would shift towards work in the field. People online were either guessing Jake Barber or Luella Lizardo, and the majority of people got it correct. Barber first went public on Ross's News Nation special back in January of 2025. He replaces Grush, who left around Labor Day, and Grush announced his early exit after Paradigm reported that he was an executive at StardustX, an advanced material startup filled with UFO world figures. The role created possible ethical conflicts with his congressional work. And yet Burleson's office has not released a job description for Barber yet. The only confirmed duty is assisting on UAP work. So what Barber can see and do will depend on his security clearances and House rules. Barber has claimed that Congress already heard his full account in private. You know, everything I'm telling you... And more has been shared with Congress in a SCIF, in a top secret TS/SCI A SCIF is a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, a sealed room for classified briefings. T.S.S.C. TS/SCI stands for Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Information. Grush testified publicly under oath before the House Oversight Committee in July of 2023. Barber hasn't done that. And according to Paradigm Source and earlier News Nation reporting, he briefed Senate staff. privately before going public. And those staffers include people connected to Marco Rubio's office from Rubio's time on the Senate Intelligence Committee. And here is how Barber described what happened in those meetings. The first place I go is the Senate Intelligence Committee and the monitor for CIA. And I start telling my story. They don't question it for one second. They know it's happening. They're like. They're, they're, they're edifying everything I'm saying and trying to cut me off because they're so like excited to actually get to talk about this and are like, oh my God, so what do I do? And they're like, uh, give me your number. Do you have signal? I need to text you. These guys are at my house last night. And I'm like, wait a minute. This was my asking for help moment. In that same interview with Jesse Michaels, he claimed the staffers were being harassed at their homes and asked him to set up protection for them. And that experience is why he called Congress powerless on the subject. Barber's own team pointed to the same program in 2025 when Skywatcher advisor Matthew Pines explained where their methods come from. Right, these techniques are are not new to Skywatcher. These techniques are known, I think, to other people involved in the legacy programs. Uh, We are just doing this in a very different way, in a way that is hopefully going to bring this into the public. Transparency was the selling point, and very little has come out since. In February of 2025, Skywatcher promised that within four to six weeks, it would release new data and an independent review of its full data set by a qualified outside party. The group published a discovery framework, but no full data set and no outside review have been made public yet. And then this past August, the UAP Files podcast tracked a helicopter linked to Barber flying in West Texas, which suggests the work may have continued out of public view. Paradigm reports that the project has gone silent without releasing any independently verified evidence. Now, Barber places himself outside the reverse engineering side that is described throughout the UFO topic. I'm like the fingertips, like I'm out here and I'm like we're touching it. We're the grassroots on the ground interacting with crash recovery, not reverse engineering. That's a different group. But all we've heard from is like. Like, say, the shoulder joint, like the head of this thing. Yeah. But the shoulder has no idea what's going on at the fingertips. And that is by design. Compartmentalize as much as possible, and no one will have the full picture as to what's going on. Now, Barber claims to have worked at the other end of that chain, at least on the recovery field of things. But the biggest question about this hire really is Skywatcher. After going public, Barber helped launch the privately funded group. And it used electromagnetic signal it called the dog whistle, along with people who claim psychic abilities. The team later renamed the method neuromeditative interaction. And then in spring of 2025, Barber made this claim. I'm going to be very bold right here. And I'm going to tell you that 100% of the time when we run our operation with the dog whistle, we get results in broad daylight. Barber claimed results every time, in daylight, seen from several positions, and the group has not released independently verified evidence to back it. The team described nine classes of objects, cited about 10 terabytes of data, and talked about disclosure within roughly 12 months. But then it went quiet. A promised episode on its psychic program was never released. Engineer James Fowler, who was linked to the dog whistle equipment, left in mid-2025 for government contracting work. Kirkpatrick later stated that Arrow met with the group and found nothing credible in what it saw. In February of 2025, a Department of War spokesman confirmed to Liberation Times that Arrow was investigating Barber's claims, and Barber had already made a specific claim about the office. Since we've left. The program and reorganized and are now working with Arrow. I can make the egg show up and we have, and we've demonstrated it post-program and we did it in August. Oh my God. In broad daylight. Really? Yeah. So you can summon the egg? Yes, we can summon the egg. That is absurd. It seems absurd, but we've tracked it in broad daylight, the egg, uh, moving at. 10,000 miles per hour so based on range and it comes when we've at a precise timing when we've asked for we're doing demonstrations for the new director of Arrow they're fully privy they've seen our videos they've seen our data our report. Skywatcher later confirmed it had hosted Arrow representatives at its private site and Arrow has never released the results of its investigation. Barber now works for the Oversight member who can request them. But there are three things that will show whether this hire changes anything. The first is whether Barber testifies publicly under oath. The second is whether Burleson's office explains his duties and access. And third is whether Skywatcher's data reaches Congress. or the public in a form outside experts can test. Do you think Barber's hire made Congress closer to proof, or should his claims be tested under oath before he helps run an investigation? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. And for the start of this story, watch my video on Eric Burleson's interview with Timothy Alberino, where he is first hinting at who his new staff member might be. So make sure to watch this video next. I'm Christina Gomez, that is it for today. I will see you again next time for another UFO News update. Be safe, and remember, keep your eyes on the skies.
