It’s been a busy week for Tom DeLonge. Fresh from launching a new signature guitar, the notoriously alien-obsessed blink-182 frontman has seemingly helped to prove that UFOs are out there.
Back in 2019, the U.S. Navy had confirmed three videos of UFOs – formally known as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) – that had been made public by Tom’s company To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science. And on Wednesday (July 26), former U.S. intelligence officer David Grusch testified on the topic before a congressional hearing.
Speaking to the House Oversight committee on national security, he said that he’d witnessed some “disturbing” things regarding the recovery of a “nonhuman” aircraft, and that he was aware of “multiple colleagues of mine that got physically injured” by UAPs. David Grusch also went on to explain that, “I can’t get into the specifics in an open environment but at least the activity that I personally witnessed, and I have to be careful because they tell you to never acknowledge tradecraft. What I personally witnessed, myself and my wife, was very disturbing.”
Other witnesses and whistleblowers at this hearing were former Navy pilots David Fravor and Ryan Graves, with Tom taking to Instagram afterwards to call the pair along with David Grusch “heroes” for “blowing the lid off the UFO secrecy that has been intact for decades”.
“The UFO Hearings today made history,” Tom wrote. “I am so proud of the three witnesses today that blew the lid off the UFO secrecy that has been intact for decades. Graves, Fravor and Grusch are HEROES. I appreciated the shout-out during the hearing, but so many were involved with @tothestars.media to make this happen. Get your shirt now, and remember that we at To The Stars changed the world.”
Speaking to The Independent, the blink frontman also proudly enthused: “Everything that is happening right now is 100 per cent because of To The Stars. I mean, I’ve known this, and my guys know this… we really feel, in our company, we’ve really changed the course of the world.”
