Tom DeLonge Wants To Meet Aliens (With Your Money)

Tom DeLonge Wants To Meet Aliens (With Your Money)

Tom DeLonge has always liked UFOs.

Now he wants to go meet them, and he wants your help.

Tom DeLonge — you know, the guitarist from Blink 182 — has long been a fan of unidentifed flying objects. And to that end, he has gone and made it all official and stuff, launching the To The Stars Academy, with the help of “an elite team from CIA, DOD” and Lockheed Martin’s Skunkworks.

The Academy, because that’s what I’m going to call it from now on, will explore “transformative discoveries” to “revolutionise the human experience”, but “without the restriction of government priorities”. You know, those pesky government priorities that have been getting in the way of Tom DeLonge meeting aliens for all these years.

And it’s using crowdfunding, too, using a US government tool called Regulation A+ that lets companies draw in private funding from smale-scale investors instead of an IPO. So your money can go towards Tom DeLonge meeting aliens.

I don’t even know what to say about this. Godspeed, Tom.
