UFO Contacts: Dr. Michael Salla & Paola Harris
| Dr. Michael Salla is a pioneer in the development of exopolitics. He is the author of several books that include "Exopolitics: Political Implications of the Extraterrestrial Presence." Dr. Salla was an Assistant Professor/Researcher in Residence in the School of International Service, American University from 1996-2004. He has a PhD in Government from the University of Queensland, Australia. He is also the Founder of the Exopolitics Institute, a non-profit organization that analyzes the political implications of the extraterrestrial presence. Paola Leopizzi Harris is an Italo-American photojournalist and investigative reporter in the field of extraterrestrial related phenomena research. She is also a widely published, freelance writer, especially in Europe. She has studied extraterrestrial related phenomena since 1979 and is on personal terms with many of the leading researchers in the field. From 1980-1986 she assisted Dr. J. Allen Hynek with his UFO investigations and has interviewed many top military witnesses concerning their involvement in the government truth embargo. She is a long time collaborator with Dr. Roberto Pinotti, Director of the Centro Ufologico Nationale (CUN). In 1997, Ms. Harris met and interviewed Col. Philip Corso in Roswell, New Mexico and became a personal friend and confidante. She was instrumental in having his book The Day After Roswell, for which she wrote the preface, translated into Italian. She consequently brought Colonel Corso to Italy for the editorial group Futuro, publisher of Il Giorno Dopo Roswell, and Corso was present for many TV appearances and two conferences. She returned to Roswell in the summer of 2003 for the American debut of her book, Connecting the Dots...making sense of the UFO Phenomena, published by Granite Press. UFO Contacts Researcher Dr. Michael Salla and journalist Paola Harris joined together for a discussion on the politics and meaning behind UFO and alien contacts. Rather than an event, disclosure is a process, said Salla, that is pieced together from various whistleblower's testimonies. One such whistleblower is Charles Hall, who was a weather observer stationed at Nellis AFB, and wrote a series of fictionalized books based on his real life encounters with aliens, Harris detailed. He described them as very thin, 7-8 ft. tall, and with life spans of 700-800 years, she said. The "tall whites" were allegedly living at a military base as part of a technology transfer arrangement. Hall wasn't constrained by a security oath, as is often the case with military personnel, Salla added. Harris recounted her recent trip to contactee Billy Meier's complex in Switzerland. She said she saw shrubbery there that she'd seen nowhere else, which she connected to the statement supposedly made by Pleiadians that they chose this area for contact because the "land had a particular frequency." The Pleiadians also made predictions about the future back in the 1970's, some of them concerning the EU and how the Swiss may not be able to remain impartial, Harris noted. Lab tests of Pleiadian ship materials were conducted, Salla shared, but the materials subsequently disappeared. |
