This episode of the Joe Rogan Experience delves deep into the world of UFOs and advanced technology with Tom DeLonge, a musician known for his work with Blink 182. The conversation, often laced with a sense of conspiratorial wonder, explores DeLonge’s personal journey into UFO research, his unconventional connections with government officials, and his company’s ambitious mission to unveil the truth about extraterrestrial life and its potential impact on humanity.
Provocative topics include DeLonge’s alleged encounters with government officials, his claims of advanced technology in the hands of the US government, and the potential for an international collaboration to manage contact with alien civilizations. Underlying themes explore the allure and danger of secrecy, the power of belief and skepticism, and the potential for a paradigm shift in our understanding of the universe and our place within it.
1. Tom DeLonge’s Personal Journey into UFO Research:
- DeLonge’s fascination with UFOs began in junior high, fueled by an encounter with a book on the Loch Ness monster.
- This fascination deepened during his band’s touring years, leading him to devour books on the UFO phenomenon.
- DeLonge believes the UFO phenomenon is by design, orchestrated as a control system to guide humanity in a specific direction.
- DeLonge’s research led him to believe that advanced civilizations with time-traveling technology are manipulating events on Earth.
2. DeLonge’s Connections with Government Officials:
- DeLonge claims to have been contacted by government officials after he began developing a science fiction franchise based on real UFO events.
- He was flown to Washington D.C. for meetings with high-level officials and eventually put in contact with a general and a NASA scientist.
- At an airport restaurant, DeLonge met with a former government official who revealed that a life form was discovered during the Cold War.
- DeLonge believes this official chose to meet with him because he provided a service – a platform to communicate about the UFO phenomenon to the public.
3. The Secret Machines and the International Effort:
- DeLonge’s research led him to believe that an international effort is underway to manage the UFO phenomenon and potentially push back against alien incursions.
- His book, “Secret Machines,” delves into the involvement of private finance, world bankers, and a secret space program in this endeavor.
- DeLonge believes this effort began after the Roswell crash in 1947, with the creation of the CIA, the Air Force, and the National Security Act.
- He believes the UFO phenomenon is not just about random encounters but a reality of advanced civilizations traversing the vastness of space.
4. The Interrogation and Confirmation of DeLonge’s Research:
- DeLonge was interrogated by a government agency for two days straight after his book, “Secret Machines,” was published.
- The agency was concerned about DeLonge’s knowledge of the international effort to manage the UFO phenomenon, believing he was a part of a leak.
- DeLonge’s credibility was bolstered when WikiLeaks exposed his communication with John Podesta, then a senior advisor to Barack Obama.
- DeLonge claims that this interaction marked a turning point, leading to a greater degree of trust from the government and a decision to work together on a new project.
5. To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science:
- DeLonge founded To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science (TTSA), a company that combines entertainment, science, and aerospace projects with the goal of revealing the truth about UFOs.
- TTSA has assembled a team of former government officials, including high-ranking military personnel, intelligence officers, and scientists, who have provided DeLonge with classified information.
- The company plans to release declassified videos of UFOs, demonstrate advanced technologies, and create a community of interest to educate the public about the UFO phenomenon.
- DeLonge believes this collaborative effort will lead to the development of groundbreaking technologies, potentially transforming transportation, communication, and energy production.
6. The Potential for Disclosure and Technological Advancements:
- DeLonge is adamant that he is not seeking to force disclosure but rather facilitate a gradual process of confirmation through a combination of entertainment and scientific evidence.
- He believes that the public must own this knowledge and understand the historical and technological context before full disclosure can be achieved.
- DeLonge claims to have seen evidence of advanced technologies, including a piece of metal with unique atomic properties and videos of UFOs captured by government systems.
- He believes these technologies could revolutionize energy production, transportation, and communication, potentially leading to a new era of human advancement.
7. The Reality of Alien Life and Its Implications:
- DeLonge believes that the universe is teeming with life and that we are not alone.
- He claims that the Roswell crash involved technology based on alien technology and that there are multiple alien civilizations interacting with Earth.
- DeLonge speculates that some alien life forms may be humanoid, while others could be androids or even biological robots.
- He raises questions about the motives of these civilizations, suggesting that they may be involved in resource extraction, empire-building, or even more mysterious purposes.
8. The Role of Ancient Civilizations and Genetic Engineering:
- DeLonge believes that ancient civilizations, such as the Sumerians, had a sophisticated understanding of astronomy and our solar system, suggesting possible contact with alien life forms.
- He subscribes to the theory that human beings are the product of genetic engineering, pointing to the existence of “junk DNA” and the inexplicable leap in brain size in human evolution.
- DeLonge claims that government officials have hinted at connections between ancient mythology, particularly Greek mythology, and alien civilizations.
- He believes that the revelations about UFOs and advanced technologies could lead to a reassessment of our understanding of history and our origins.
9. The Potential for a Paradigm Shift:
- DeLonge argues that the UFO phenomenon, if acknowledged and understood, could reshape our worldview and change the course of human history.
- He believes that our understanding of physics, technology, and even consciousness could be fundamentally altered by the revelations of advanced alien civilizations.
- DeLonge suggests that a new era of human cooperation and technological innovation could emerge if we embrace this knowledge.
- He emphasizes that the potential for a paradigm shift is both exciting and potentially daunting, as it could challenge our most deeply held beliefs and redefine our place in the universe.
