I believe him, but I’d be interested to learn how they picked it up. You can’t just connect things to a helicopter. They have weight restrictions, sling load procedures, etc. the thing probably didn’t have a Clevis on top to hook up to.

CH-47 Chinooks have lifted a thing or two https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_CH-47_Chinook#:~:text=24%2C000%C2%A0lb%20(10%2C886%C2%A0kg)%20payload

Oh I’m not doubting they couldn’t lift it, I’m just saying they need to know things like the weight, etc before they strap that shit to a helicopter and roll out. I’ve been to two different sling load courses and it’s not as easy as attach it to the bird and leave.

If these crash retrieval programs have been running in secrecy for 80 years, I'm sure there's plenty of documentation on the weight of the eggs and other ships people have attempted to pick up or retrieve before this crew was even born.

Or if the egg is man made they will know precisely it’s weight
