Who is Jake Barber, you ask?
And according to Jake, one of those crafts that he retrieved seemed to be alive,
Jake was the black hand of an unnamed aerospace giant.
When I interviewed Jake, his claims were so wild and so ahead of the curve
Jake's novel is called Sentinels of Aether, and it's written by a ghostwriter under the pen name Alva Douglas.
Before we hit play on Sentinels of Ether, we need to roll the tape back on Jake Barber.
Jake worked for a private company embedded inside legacy aerospace.
But Jake's routine missions for his employer gradually evolved into something more ominous.
Don Paul Bales, a 25-year military and law enforcement veteran, later confirmed that he worked under Jake on this same operation.
Not only did Jake's employer want to destroy the Toughbooks with evidence of crash retrievals, they also wanted to destroy him.
So Jake does what any good operative does when the mission burns.
Jake's weapon of choice isn't a gun.
But Jake turns it into a Trojan horse.
You see, Jake used the redaction process backwards as a discovery tool.

Jake describes them as intuitives, trained like assets in remote viewing, telekinesis, and the whole psychic toolkit.
According to Jake, there are two main attraction methods.
Jake's consciousness-based attraction method is very similar to Stephen Greer's coherent thought
on this pig. Jake personally remembers an incident transporting a craft where his consciousness was

thought, while another says exotic propulsion works like ESP. Suddenly, Jake's story doesn't sound so crazy.
But there's more proof Jake Barber isn't out of his mind. His story would have made a lot of sense to
