To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science—the extraterrestrial research group owned and operated by Tom DeLonge (former Blink-182 guitarist) is getting its hands on some of that military money. The organization has announced a new collaboration with the U.S. Army on future research regarding “material science, space-time metric engineering, quantum physics, beam energy propulsion,” and lots of other science things, in order to “enhance survivability and effectiveness of multiple Army systems,” according to a press release.
Once pegged as a butt of jokes, DeLonge’s organization, has shaped up to be on the forefront of extraterrestrial research including a citation in 2017 by the New York Times report on the Pentagon’s $22 million program for UFO research. The report pointed to the existence of mysterious metal alloys as potential evidence of UFOs, which was obtained by TTSA for investigative purposes. It appears that those metal alloys are what the the U.S. Army is interested in. Gizmodo reports, the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) allows the U.S. Army to verify claims made by TTSA about the alloys, and begin research on quantum communication and beamed energy propulsion.
