AI-Generated Summary

Dr. Michael Salla's 'ExoPolitics Today' episode on May 16, 2026, delivers a high-stakes update on the accelerating UFO disclosure process under the Trump administration. The episode centers on the ongoing battle between President Trump and the 'deep state'—specifically the CIA and DIA—over access to classified UFO files, with whistleblowers like David Grush and Congressman Tim Burchett revealing systemic resistance. Salla emphasizes that the first batch of released files, while partially genuine, includes misidentified objects like parachute flares, suggesting a deliberate strategy to temper public expectations and prevent societal shock. He argues that future releases will expose crash retrieval operations, alien biologics, and the role of private corporations in housing extraterrestrial technology, with Congress using subpoenas to force access. The episode also explores global implications, including Japan’s emerging disclosure efforts and the geopolitical significance of ancient technologies in Iran and Venezuela. Salla links these developments to broader exopolitical narratives, including the Vatican’s skepticism, the role of astrological awakenings, and the existence of hidden underground bases and stargates. The episode concludes with a promotional push for Salla’s upcoming May 30 webinar on future disclosures, framing the moment as a pivotal, life-altering shift in human history.

I think the latter scenario is something that probably is what the Vatican was behind or wanted to happen because the Vatican would be the chief venerator if you have an alien savior who comes along and is deemed to be the return of Christ.
