Michael Salla is a former adjunct professor of international relations at American University who left mainstream academia to found what he termed “exopolitics,” a field examining alleged extraterrestrial-related political and secrecy dynamics, and who has promoted extensive claims about secret space programs sourced from figures such as Corey Goode.

Assessment

Salla’s academic background in international relations is genuine, but his exopolitics conclusions and the secret-space-program claims he has promoted go well beyond mainstream evidentiary standards and are not accepted outside a specific niche of UFO research.
