Exopolitics Today
Exopolitics Today is the podcast and media platform operated by Dr. Michael Salla, founder of the Exopolitics Institute, broadcast primarily on YouTube and Spotify and serving as the principal interview and analysis venue through which secret space program witnesses, UAP whistleblowers, and exopolitics researchers have published extended testimony since approximately 2015. Salla holds a Ph.D. in government from the University of Queensland and served on the faculty of the School of International Service at American University in Washington, D.C., before devoting his career full-time to exopolitics research, publishing, and education. His academic background distinguishes Exopolitics Today from other alternative-media UAP venues in its systematic documentary methodology — correlating witness accounts with declassified official records, congressional filings, and open-source intelligence. The platform has hosted full-length interviews with Corey Goode, Tony Rodrigues, Elena Danaan, Dan Burisch, William Tompkins, Jason Sands, Michael Wolf, Andrew Bustamante, Emery Smith, and dozens of other primary witnesses whose accounts form the core source material of the modern exopolitics record.
Role in UAP disclosure
Michael Salla's interview methodology prioritizes extended, unedited witness accounts with documentary follow-up — correlating witness claims against declassified government documents, congressional testimony, and physical evidence. Exopolitics Today interviews are cited extensively in exopolitics articles and analysis as the primary published record for witnesses who have not appeared in mainstream media venues. Tony Rodrigues' account of thirteen years aboard a Dark Fleet vessel operating from Ceres was published through a series of Exopolitics Today interviews before his memoir Ceres Colony Cavalier appeared in 2021.
Key publication series
Beyond the podcast, the Exopolitics Institute has published a series of analytical books by Michael Salla correlating witness testimony with documentary evidence:
