Dr. Steven Greer has made a striking new claim, tying whistleblower Jake Barber to a larger, coordinated effort to expose secretive crash retrieval programmes. During the second episode of his podcast, Greer described Barber, a U.S. Air Force veteran and key figure in an upcoming NewsNation broadcast, as the leader of a team of whistleblowers who have been working with him to bring critical information to the public. This revelation adds a significant layer of context to Barber’s decision to come forward, while also shedding light on the wider disclosure effort aimed at revealing decades of secrecy.

Barber, whose initial testimony and involvement were covered in previous reports, is now described by Greer as being at the centre of a movement involving multiple insiders from within classified programmes. Greer explained that Barber’s team is not only stepping forward with evidence but has also ensured their disclosures have gone through DOSER, the Pentagon office responsible for clearing sensitive materials for release. This approach reflects a calculated strategy to safeguard whistleblowers while ensuring the information reaches the public responsibly.

Greer pointed out that Barber’s decision to publicly identify himself represents a shift from the anonymity that has historically characterised UFO disclosures. While anonymous leaks have played a significant role in past efforts, named testimonies provide greater credibility and accountability, allowing the public to evaluate the evidence with confidence. Greer emphasised that this move comes with significant risks, particularly given the history of harassment and threats faced by whistleblowers in similar circumstances.

In his podcast, Greer discussed how Barber’s role as a leader of this whistleblower team signifies a new phase in the disclosure movement. He explained that this group includes individuals with firsthand knowledge of crash retrieval operations, some of whom are still actively involved in classified programmes. These insiders have been working together to release evidence gradually, with plans to reveal more details in the coming months. According to Greer, this incremental approach not only protects whistleblowers but also allows for careful observation of public and governmental reactions.
