Former Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge really wants to know the truth about aliens.
To that end, To the Stars Academy of the Arts and Sciences — the organization DeLonge leads — released a declassified military video on Friday of what they’re claiming is a UFO.
The video, captured on a U.S. Navy F/A 18 Super Hornet fighter jet, includes the two pilots laughing as they wonder, “what the fuck is that thing?”
