When was Barber supposed to have been flying helicopters for top secret govt missions? Because, from his
FB page, he was a part-time musician playing gigs in L.A. in the mid-2010s.
Circa 2014/2015 is when he said he retrieved the egg, which was his first alleged UFO retrieval - though he claims he had already been doing contract work for around 10 years by that time while running multiple businesses. He's got a few pics of him working as a helicopter pilot/instructor on his page too (from 2014):

He claims his helicopter instructor business was part of his non-official cover once he started working for a three-letter agency (probably CIA).
He was also running fitness centers in 2014, something he was doing until recently with his jiujitsu club.

From his
Jesse Michels interview: "the last 20 years I've served more as a pilot than I have as a ground crew member". On his helicopter business: "
the majority of our time [as contractors] was spent doing the day-to-day work and keeping that business up and going" with only occasional calls to perform a retrieval [whether exotic or not]. Also, when asked for his job title, he responded: "Director of operations for a
helicopter company, I'm program director for Gracie jiujitsu NorCal, I'm a
flight instructor for law enforcement, for airborne law enforcement agency, ... I'm the president of a corporation that manufacturers patented wheelchair parts for the veterans hospital, I service
fitness centers on a number of key military bases." He mentions music classes as a kid, but not his band.
In the
Coulthart interview he mentions this: "you might be interested to know that people at an elite operator level, there's a lot of them that are left-handed, a lot of them that were artists as kids or still are very
good drawers, illustrators, musicians." On his businesses: "legitimacy is the best cover, so in order to provide a certain utility to the government by way of a contractor,
I have to go and establish a lot of legitimate businesses. I have to function in a legitimate way under existing contracts to build a cover. A cover is not a hollow shell. It has to be layers deep and the best way to have many layers of cover is to just go do something genuine to begin with."
In both interviews he says DOPSR barred him from mentioning the agency and contractors he worked for, but he told Michels that if you guessed two top contractors you would guess correctly. The agency is most likely CIA, and the contractors are Lockheed and Northrop Grumman. (Danny Sheehan recently let slip that Barber was working from Grumman.)
