Egg Shaped UAP
The egg-shaped — or ovoid/teardrop-shaped — UAP is a recurring craft morphology described across multiple alleged crash retrieval incidents spanning decades of testimony. Unlike disc or triangular UAP types, egg-shaped craft are most frequently reported in the context of crash and recovery events, often featuring organic-looking construction, anomalous light interaction, and biological occupants.
Notable Cases
1997 Peru Crash (Jonathan Weygandt)
The most detailed account describes a massive metallic egg or teardrop measuring approximately 10 meters high and 20 meters long, embedded in a granite cliff face during Operation Laser Strike. The craft displayed the Mother of Pearl Effect — a fluctuating purplish-green color like gasoline on water. It absorbed rather than reflected sunlight, cast no shadow, and appeared organic and sculpted rather than machined. Features included gill-like vents, three non-flush hatches, and a sweeping band of light around its circumference. A clear viscous liquid with the consistency of maple syrup leaked from the craft.
1953 Camp Polk Incident (HJ)
A 17-year-old Army private witnessed an ovoid craft as wide as a three-bedroom house crash-land at Camp Polk, Louisiana. The craft had no windows or lights and featured a fin-like protrusion on its equator that was still rotating — strikingly similar to Wagant's circling band of light. Three living occupants and one dead were recovered.
1947 UC Berkeley Sighting (Albert Bruce Collins)
Collins claimed to observe an oval craft "like an egg with the shell cracked" on a flatbed trailer at the University of California, Berkeley. It featured honeycomb skin construction, a central shiny sphere, and a seam running along its edge. Dimensions were 30–40 feet in diameter.
1968 Vietnam Crash (Vietnam Era UAP Crash and Program Induction)
An anonymous whistleblower serving with the First Cavalry Division LRRP — Company E, 52nd Infantry — describes an egg-shaped object appearing overhead emitting a bright red-orange glow before crashing into the Vietnamese jungle along the Cambodia border in late 1968. The craft was dull gray and metallic, appearing to have been formed from a single piece of material with no seams, bolts, or fasteners — a description that closely matches the seamless construction described in multiple other accounts. This crash event led directly to the witness's subsequent induction into the classified crash retrieval program.
Area 51 Intact Specimen (Eric Taber)
Taber's AARO testimony describes his great-uncle — a security contractor at Area 51 — disclosing that an egg-shaped UAP was found intact in the Nevada desert and stored at the base. The egg was found undamaged, consistent with the witness's observation that not all eggs arrive via crash; some appear to have been deliberately placed or "donated."
Jake Barber Testimony
Jake Barber described a smaller SUV-sized smooth white egg recovered in a more recent alleged retrieval, as discussed in the context of Psionics and consciousness-controlled craft.
Common Characteristics
Across cases, egg-shaped craft share recurring physical properties:
- Metallic but organic-looking surface construction
- Light-absorbing or anomalous optical properties
- Rotating bands, fins, or circumferential features
- Hatches or openings from which occupants or materials are observed
- Evidence of biological occupants in the craft
- Damage patterns suggesting vulnerability to kinetic or explosive force under specific conditions
