On May 29, Dr. Michael Salla — founder of Exopolitics and one of the more prolific voices in the UAP commentary space — says he received a text message from a longtime source. The source claimed to have twice encountered a woman who identified herself as Amy Eskridge, an antigravity researcher who, by all public accounts, died in June 2022 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. According to Salla's account, published on exopolitics.org in early June, the woman described an underground spaceport beneath Green Mountain near Huntsville, Alabama, where Nordic extraterrestrials were allegedly training international military pilots, and where consciousness-based technology, stargates, and advanced spacecraft were said to be operational.

The story has no official confirmation, no named primary witness, and no documentary evidence. Salla himself acknowledged the three likeliest explanations in his commentary: the information is genuine, it is part of a psychological operation, or it was wholly fabricated by his source. That this remains the entire evidentiary universe — one anonymous text message, relayed by a researcher whose work sits in the advocacy tier — is worth stating plainly before going any further.

And yet the story doesn't exist in isolation.

The Network Behind the Claim

Green Mountain's coordinates near Huntsville are not random. Redstone Arsenal and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center sit in the same corridor. According to a posting on ufos-disclosure.blogspot.com, which summarized Salla's reporting, there was an abandoned 1950s plan to build what was described as a mini-Pentagon beneath Green Mountain. Whether that historical plan is documented in official records is an open question — no declassified construction files or government archives have been cited to support it.

The Conflict Radio host identified only as Michael claims to have met Eskridge himself in a late-night encounter, a claim he elaborated on in a July interview with Salla published on exopolitics.org. In that conversation — which ufos-disclosure.blogspot.com republished under the headline about an eyewitness meeting a dead scientist — Michael described the woman's account in detail: advanced craft, Nordic beings, international pilots, portals. Salla treated this as a second corroborating thread, though both threads run back through the same informal network and neither is independently verifiable.

The remote-viewing layer adds a third strand. In a separate Salla interview published on exopolitics.org in late June, Tony Rodrigues — who claims experience in secret space programs and psychic intelligence gathering — described a remote-viewing session in which three independent viewers reportedly described an underground base containing extraterrestrial technology and a dark-haired woman overseeing its operations. Rodrigues says he was introduced to remote viewing as a child. The methodology of the session is not described, no independent verification of its results exists, and the session's connection to Green Mountain specifically is asserted rather than demonstrated.

What's notable is how these claims reinforce each other within a closed loop: Salla interviews Michael, who describes Eskridge; Salla interviews Rodrigues, whose remote viewers describe a dark-haired woman running an underground base; the blogspot aggregator ties both together under a single headline. Each piece cites the others as context. No piece cites an outside authority.

The DNA Thread — And Where It Came From

Running parallel to the Green Mountain story is a separate and equally unverified claim about commercial genetics databases. In late May, NewsNation journalist Rob Taub reported that a whistleblower was alleging the CIA had been attempting to access genetic data from 23andMe and Ancestry.com — specifically to identify users carrying what was described as extraterrestrial DNA. VICE covered the same claim on May 28, attributing it to philosopher and novelist Jason Reza Jorjani, PhD, who laid out the allegation on the podcast American Alchemy.

Jorjani's source, according to the VICE report, was Lyn Buchanan — an Army veteran who says he worked as a psychic spy in the CIA's remote viewing program. The remote viewing program is documented; it was a real intelligence initiative that explored whether extrasensory perception could be used to gather information on distant targets. Buchanan's participation in it is claimed, not officially confirmed in any of the available sourcing.

According to Jorjani's account as reported by VICE, Buchanan told him that former CIA analyst Christopher "Kit" Green had allegedly engineered a backdoor into 23andMe and Ancestry to screen users for a specific genetic variance linked to nonhuman beings. Green was involved in the Remote Viewing Program in the 1970s, though he left the agency well before either DNA testing company existed. No documentation of such a backdoor has been produced. The CIA has not responded to the allegation, at least not in any source available here.

The story's internal architecture is revealing. Jorjani says Buchanan told him. Buchanan says he was approached in a diner by three individuals who identified themselves as Nordics — tall, blond, blue-eyed beings allegedly living in small mountain towns in Colorado, passing as Scandinavian, and running what Jorjani described as an intergalactic underground railroad of sorts. They asked Buchanan for help avoiding CIA detection. Buchanan, by his own account, has said he would never submit his own DNA to 23andMe — and pointed to the category labeled other or unknown unidentifiable in commercial ethnicity breakdowns as a possible tell. "From what I found out," he said, as quoted by VICE, "there are government people who are looking into that wedge."

"there are government people who are looking into that wedge."

Geneticist Dr. Max Rempel published a study last fall, according to VICE, asserting that alien DNA may have already been inserted into the human genome, potentially affecting millions of people. Rempel is quoted in the VICE piece suggesting that the extent of alien hybridization raises questions for planetary health. No peer-reviewed publication or institutional affiliation for Rempel is cited in the available reporting, and the study itself is not named or linked.

The contradiction embedded in this cluster is worth surfacing directly. Jorjani is characterized both as the claimant — the person making the allegation — and as a secondary source relaying Buchanan's account. The VICE headline frames it as a whistleblower claim; the body of the piece makes clear that Jorjani is a philosopher and novelist repeating what he says an Army veteran told him about what three beings in a diner told that veteran. The chain of attribution is long and unanchored at every link.

What the Official Record Actually Shows

Against this backdrop, what the government has actually released is worth separating out. The DOW-UAP D10 Mission Report, declassified by Major General Richard A. Harrison as USCENTCOM Chief of Staff on October 7, 2025, and approved for release to AARO, documents a real event: a May 6, 2022 reconnaissance mission over the Middle East during Operation Inherent Resolve. The report records that between 1514Z and 1934Z, an aircraft observed five UAPs fly across its screen. One, observed at 1514Z, had the visual characteristics of a possible missile. The remaining four fit closer to the profile of possible birds. Dust, the report notes, hindered most FMV collection of the ground. This is a sober document — specific coordinates redacted, specific aircraft redacted, specific operators redacted under exemption — that records an ambiguous observation and resolves most of it toward prosaic explanations.

A separate FBI FD-302, also part of the government's UAP file releases, documents a September 2023 interview with witnesses who observed a bright white light near a test site during LiDAR data collection. The light was stationary, moved to the right, and disappeared within ten seconds. Multiple witnesses in separate vehicles saw it. The report records that one witness thought it might have been a meteor. No further characterization is offered.

Congress, meanwhile, is pressing harder. According to a May 2026 video review by Cristina Gomez, published via ufos-disclosure.blogspot.com, Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison has filed formal legislative interrogatories to The MITRE Corporation demanding answers on classified UAP records, recovered materials, alleged crash retrieval programs, and Special Access Programs. A February 2026 MUFON post by Jesse Blasengame of Colorado MUFON reported that the Trump White House had taken what was described as an unusually direct role in pushing for expanded congressional access to restricted UAP-related facilities, and that the administration had explicitly instructed the Department of Defense to cooperate with lawmakers. These claims remain attributed to reporting and commentary rather than to primary documents.

The actual declassification trajectory is slower and more contested than the advocacy press suggests. AARO is working with the National Archives, according to reporting Gomez reviewed, but what sits in that collection and what it demonstrates about non-terrestrial activity are two different questions — and no available primary source has answered the second one.

The specific document worth watching is whatever AARO's long-overdue Fiscal Year 2025 Consolidated Annual Report ultimately contains — and whether Burlison's interrogatories to MITRE produce a response that can be read by someone outside a classified setting.
