Tom DeLonge
Tom DeLonge is a musician (Blink-182) turned UAP-disclosure advocate who founded To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science (TTSA) and helped launch the modern disclosure era that produced the 2017 New York Times AATIP story.
Role in disclosure
- Founded To The Stars Academy (TTSA), the private venture that lue-elizondo joined after leaving the Pentagon’s aatip in 2017. TTSA was central to bringing the “Gimbal,” “Go Fast,” and “FLIR1” Navy videos to public attention.
- Co-authored the Sekret Machines book series (fiction and non-fiction) with A.J. Hartley. The novel Sekret Machines: A Fire Within contains the “Uncle Jimmy” parable — a hierarchy metaphor (farmer, terriers, rats) that Elizondo invokes to argue non-human-intelligence may be transactional and may not share human values. See src-elizondo-no-going-back-disclosure-2026-06.
- DeLonge’s circle drew in senior intelligence, defense, and aerospace figures as advisors, including retired Maj. Gen. william-neil-mccasland, former commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory.
Significance
DeLonge’s TTSA effort is widely credited as a proximate trigger for the modern UAP transparency movement, providing the public vehicle through which lue-elizondo and others first surfaced Pentagon UAP material.
