Russian secret space program

The Russian secret space program is an alleged classified Soviet and Russian effort to recover, study and fly non-human craft — one that Michael Salla traces to the Red Army's capture of Nazi aerospace programs in 1945, and that the Russian crash-retrieval researcher Anton Anfalov places in four underground facilities, at Zhukovsky, the Urals, Novosibirsk and Baikonur. Salla attributes to it a psychic arm, the Russian Psi-Corps, covert technology sharing with the United States Navy's Solar Warden fleet, and, since about 2021, the use of an ancient space ark with the help of positive extraterrestrials. Salla counts Russia among the leading nations of the Earth Alliance, which he sets against the Fourth Reich and the deep state, and says its relations with the American secret space programs ran through the Navy rather than the Air Force.

The program is known through Salla's webinars and Anfalov's interviews with informants he does not name, among them a member of a KGB department, and Anfalov himself says of what a captured crew member told KGB interrogators, "if we trust them, I'm not sure if they told the truth." The two also read the craft differently: Salla prefers the wider term non-human intelligence, which takes in inner-earth beings as well as visitors from other stars, while Anfalov holds that the craft come from inner Earth civilizations rather than from other stars. The Russian episodes Salla reads as sanctioned unofficial disclosure were received differently in Russia itself: the Duma deputy Andrei Lebedev asked the president to investigate whether the contact claimed by Kalmykia's head Kirsan Ilyumzhinov had affected his governance, and the press reported Dmitry Medvedev's remark about files on extraterrestrials as a quip about the film Men in Black.

Origins in the capture of Nazi aerospace programs

Salla states that the Red Army overran the Nazi research facilities in Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia at the end of the war, that its trophy brigades took the aerospace projects and their blueprints, and that in October 1946 the Soviet equivalent of Operation Paperclip moved some 2,500 German scientists and technicians, about 4,000 people with their families, to the USSR under the rocket designer Sergei Korolev. The Germans were housed at Kapustin Yar on the Volga, where in June 1948, per Salla, a cigar-shaped craft shot down in a dogfight with a Soviet MiG was brought for study. Anfalov, asked about Korolev, replies that Korolev "wasn't much in the loop" of the cover-up and is wrongly credited as its main figure.

Rejection of Operation Paperclip scientists

Salla states that Russia expelled approximately 2,500 German scientists who had been brought to Kapustin Yar after the war, in deliberate contrast to the United States, which promoted Operation Paperclip scientists to senior positions in aerospace corporations and NASA. Salla holds that the American decision let the Antarctic German Fourth Reich carry out a "silent coup" over U.S. institutions, while Russia's expulsion protected its classified programs from the same infiltration.

U.S. Navy cooperation

Salla describes a covert information-sharing arrangement between the Navy and the Soviet space program that ran beneath Cold War hostility. He points to Admiral Leslie Stevens, assistant chief of the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics in 1945–47 and then naval attaché at the Moscow embassy from 1947 to 1950, whom he credits with helping the Soviet reverse-engineering programs to a steady start. The posting followed Operation Highjump, whose defeat by the Antarctic Germans and their allies Salla says the Soviets also learned of. Per Salla, the Navy and Solar Warden kept cooperative links with positive human-looking extraterrestrial groups and shared intelligence with Russia, while the Air Force and the intelligence community made separate agreements with the Antarctic Germans and worked with Draco-reptilian and grey factions.

Salla holds that senior officers on both sides who were briefed knew the Cold War confrontation to be a facade, the two powers being partners against the Fourth Reich, and that John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev agreed to joint space and lunar missions shortly before Kennedy's assassination and Khrushchev's removal from power. Anfalov dates the first U.S.–Soviet agreements on retrieved craft to the 1955 Geneva meetings between Soviet, American, French and British representatives, and says that on Richard Nixon's 1972 Moscow visit Henry Kissinger was taken to the underground laboratory at Zhukovsky and shown a recovered craft and three bodies, as was Fidel Castro the same year.

Crash retrievals and underground facilities

Anfalov, whom Salla introduces as having interviewed hundreds of Russian and Ukrainian servicemen and assembled a database of crashes across the former Soviet Union, describes four facilities where recovered craft were studied:

• Zhukovsky, outside Moscow, the multi-level underground complex at the Gromov Flight Research Institute that Anfalov calls the Soviet counterpart of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base; the craft from the 1968 Riga crash, with four bodies of whom one was alive, was taken there.
• The Urals, a base inside a tunnel system that Salla says non-human intelligence built before the Soviets repurposed it, to which most of the recovered material was moved in 1991 as the Soviet Union collapsed; Anfalov calls the installation at Taganay National Park the most secret facility in Russia now.
• Novosibirsk, an aviation plant in eastern Siberia that Salla, relaying Anfalov, says covers an underground research complex.
• Baikonur–Tyuratam in Kazakhstan, where Anfalov says a missile-processing site, Site 92, served as cover for storing recovered craft among the rocket hardware.

Anfalov says that in 1987 the Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev was flown to the Monchegorsk air base on the Kola Peninsula and shown a recovered craft in a hangar. The Taganay site and the further finds Anfalov describes there are told in Taganay Park UFO crashes.

KGB cosmonaut lunar missions

Salla refers to Soviet one-way lunar missions flown by KGB cosmonauts to establish a Soviet presence on the Moon, conducted in secret and separate from the publicly known Soviet lunar program.

Space ark activation and trilateral cooperation

A space ark allegedly located in Russia was, according to Salla, discovered and activated around 2021, with positive extraterrestrials helping Russian personnel to understand and use the technology inside it. Salla describes space arks as ancient interstellar vessels buried on or under planets, activated in connection with the arrival of the Intergalactic Confederation in the solar system.[citation needed]

Salla argues that the discovery of the arks gave Russia, China and the United States a shared interest that superseded their public rivalry: their secret space programs, among them the Chinese secret space program, cooperate in understanding the technology while conventional military and political leaders in each country go on believing the conflict is real. A 2025 webinar described Russia as collaborating with the United States on technologies found in ancient space arks recovered in the solar system. Salla cited the war in Ukraine as an instance where, beneath overt hostilities, each side may be motivated partly by proximity to a space ark in the Kherson region, whose controller would have more influence over how its technology is exploited. Anfalov, for his part, says ancient egg-shaped craft lie buried deep under the ground in several places in Russia and Ukraine, one of them under the Oleshky Sands near Kherson.

Russian Psi-Corps

Russian Psi-Corps

A 2024 Exopolitics Today article by Salla describes a component of the program staffed by psi-trained crews, the "Enigmatic Psi Corps", engaged in ancient space-ark research and remote viewing-based intelligence operations.

Unofficial disclosure

While official Russian policy on extraterrestrial disclosure parallels Western secrecy, Salla argues that Russia has allowed a degree of unofficial disclosure not seen elsewhere. He cites the 2010 television interview in which Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, then head of Kalmykia, described his contact with extraterrestrials, and notes that Ilyumzhinov was not driven from office. Lebedev, of the Duma's security committee, wrote to President Medvedev urging an inquiry and asking that Ilyumzhinov be dropped from future candidate lists; the Kremlin declined to comment. Two years later Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, after a television interview with the microphone still live, told a reporter that each Russian president receives, with the nuclear briefcase, a folder on extraterrestrials who have visited Earth and referred him to Men in Black; Salla reads the remark as deliberate, sanctioned unofficial disclosure, while the press that reported it called it a joke.
