Alien-truther and former Blink-182 co-front man Tom DeLonge recently revealed the surprising reason behind why he quit one of rock’s most successful bands. Apparently, he had to focus on UFO and alien related issues (real important stuff guys! The truth is out there). Here we just thought he didn’t get along with his band mates and wanted to play in Angels And Airwaves.
In an interview with Mic, DeLonge revealed that he quit the massive pop punk outfit because he had an opportunity to deal with a very important “national security issue” (hint: aliens).
“It’s not so much about Blink. It’s about what I’m doing with my life now,” he said. “When you’re an individual like me, dealing with something that’s a national security issue, and you’re being gifted with the opportunity to communicate something you’ve been passionate about your whole life — something that has the opportunity to change the world over time — being a small part of that is enormously important for my life path.”
What? DeLonge later said that he “know[s] of stuff [he] can’t talk about right now” regarding extra terrestrial life. Is the government conspiring with Tom DeLonge to hide some massive alien secrets? It sure sounds like that’s what he’s saying. DeLonge, however, would never call them “aliens” because that’s not what the UFO-watching, alien-believing community regards them as.
“That’s a term people throw out there, and rightfully so because the government spends a lot of time and money throwing that term out there,” he says.
Still, when asked for evidence about UFO’s DeLonge sort of recognizes he at least sounds a little bit eccentric.
“I don’t think I’m going to be the person that offers the best evidence unless people really trust what I’m doing and believe me,” he said. “There’s been hundreds and hundreds of thousands of eyewitness accounts. Trace evidence that’s been analyzed by scientists across the world. Events have happened on the ground. It’s all around us.”
We may never know the truth behind aliens, but even more so, we might never know the truth behind why the other members of Blink-182 seem to be constantly feuding with DeLonge. I guess some truths just aren’t really out there.
