Tom DeLonge alien announcement: All aboard the USS Friendship!

Insane Metal

Gold Member
(...) Now on to more pressing matters - former Blink-182 singer and guitarist Tom DeLonge has claimed that he's going to reveal the truth about aliens.

Over the years DeLonge has been an avid believer in extra terrestrial life, writing songs like 'Aliens Exist' and showing his passion of exposing another world.

It's led to ridicule from many people and perhaps had a hand in him leaving the band, but he still believes we're not alone.

In an Instagram post he revealed that tomorrow he's making an announcement that's two years in the making, claiming it might just change the world.

Huh.

Viral for new album? Or maybe he's just gone mad?
 
The company is a public benefit corporation founded in 2017 by a former senior Intelligence Officer with the CIA, a distinguished research scientist from the Department of Defense, and an award-winning artist with the goal of creating a dynamic Aerospace, Science and Entertainment consortium. We strive to be a positive vehicle for change by supporting progressive thought through academic research, exotic engineering, and entertainment media. In the course of the company’s organization it acquired To The Stars, Inc. (“TTS”), an existing business that now comprises the company’s Entertainment Division.

In what we believe is the first transparent partnership of its kind, the company will collaborate with global citizens to investigate under-funded areas of research that could lead to awe-inspiring discoveries and innovations. We believe transformative research of the type we propose should not be considered too taboo for serious academic research and we advocate that the search and investigation of new discoveries should be made broadly available to the public using the lens of entertainment media. Our goal is to inspire the imagination in the scientific mysteries of the universe and their profound implications on human potential and the future of our planet.

In designing a plan to approach this ambitious undertaking, we solicited the help of the best minds in aerospace, science, and entertainment to identify projects that will be most likely to yield results. While the exact project(s) and order in which we pursue them will depend on the amount of capital we raise, we believe the investment we make will yield results to the store of human knowledge, create useful and profitable commercial products, and provide unique entertainment experiences.

The company is composed of Aerospace, Science, and Entertainment Divisions. We intend to provide support to exceptionally gifted and creative aerospace and scientific researchers with the expectation that they can, on an accelerated timeline, leapfrog over the usual incremental steps to yield new concepts and technologies of significance. The entertainment properties we create will support our findings and creatively and responsibly present new ideas and possibilities.
The company’s Aerospace Division is dedicated to finding revolutionary breakthroughs in propulsion, energy, and communication. We intend to employ lead engineers from major Department of Defense and aerospace companies with the capability to pursue an advanced engineering approach to fundamental aerospace topics ranging from Beamed-Energy Propulsion to warp drive metrics. Our team will seek to develop next-generation energy and propulsion concepts for spaceflight, as well as new technologies for space communications.

The company’s Science Division will be a theoretical and experimental laboratory, challenging conventional thinking by discovering a new world of physics and consciousness-related possibilities and exploring how to use them to affect the world positively. TTS AAS has access to a global team of research scientists with advanced knowledge to pursue the company’s research projects, including Human Ultra-Experience Database, Engineering Space-Time Metrics, Brain-Computer Interface, and Telepathy.

The Entertainment Division is composed of the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary TTS, a vertically integrated business that licenses and creates original intellectual property brought to life by award-winning content creators. Spanning film, television, books, music, art, and merchandise, fans from all generations and interest levels find themselves engaged and immersed in exciting media that creates a sense of intrigue and wonder. Our storytelling experiences will be where science meets science fiction.

Examples of our approach to a vertically integrated aerospace, science and entertainment consortium are our current award-winning and bestselling franchises Sekret Machines and Poet Anderson. Sekret Machines is a bestselling TTS franchise that explores the real and well-documented events behind Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon. With input from top government officials and scientists, Sekret Machines is an example of how real research can generate media content: a fictional Sci-Fi thriller novel, an academically researched non-fiction series, and the upcoming documentary with exclusive interviews from military and civilian government officials.
Poet Anderson, winner of IPBA’s Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Teen Fiction and “Best Animation” at the Toronto International Shorts Festival, is an exciting dystopian Young Adult franchise based on a Stanford University study on how dreams can prepare you for real life events. If we are successful in our raise, future plans include expanding the Poet Anderson franchise into virtual reality and a documentary exploring the real- life science behind the story.
TTS AAS aims to push the boundaries of what standard academia, corporate and government labs typically support, but we don’t believe discovery that impacts humankind should be a solo venture. TTS AAS will provide positive support for government, aerospace industry and academia in the accomplishment of our goals. Wherever possible, we will translate what we know into an entertainment medium that we can responsibly share not only with our customers, but our community. That’s why we decided to be a public benefit corporation.

You're selling $0.003 dollar shares for $5 dollars with a min $200 buy in and you retain 90% control with a $50M max.. to "maybe create lasers and mind control devices". Lol. Dude. wtf man. You're taking your fans for a proper dicking tomorrow.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Yet another reason the band should be glad they got rid of him.

It's a scam


There is no currently identifiable market for the type of scientific exploration in which TTS AAS plans to engage (e.g., niche physics and consciousness). Our short-term approach is to invest in a theoretical and experimental laboratory to facilitate the company's research projects, including Human Ultra-Experience Database, Engineering Space-Time Metrics, Brain-Computer Interface, and Telepathy.

We are in discussions with potential partners for our Aerospace and Science Divisions, although no specific projects have yet been agreed upon.

Under a Licensing Agreement, we are required to pay royalty payments to Tom DeLonge, Mr. Handsome, LLC, and Good In Bed Music, ASCAP (see ”Intellectual Property", ”Liquidity and Capital Resources", and ”Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions"). If total royalty payments in any given calendar year are less than $100,000, we have agreed to pay any shortfall such that the annual minimum royalty paid under the Licensing Agreement will be $100,000. This means that we will have to pay this amount even when we have limited revenues, and this could materially reduce our earnings in any year. Failure to pay the minimum royalty guarantee could lead to termination of the Licensing Agreement, and termination of the Licensing Agreement could result in legal and financial harm to the company.

We expect to raise additional capital through equity offerings and to provide employees with equity incentives. Therefore, your interest in the company is likely to continue to be diluted. We may offer additional shares of our stock and/or other classes of equity or debt, which would dilute the ownership percentage of investors in this offering. Additional fundraising in the future may be offered at a lower valuation, which would dilute the interest of investors in this offering.


We would be damaged by the death, incapacity, departure, or damage to the reputation of principal investor/key man Tom DeLonge. We currently depend on the continued services of Tom DeLonge. Mr. DeLonge further provides marketing and promotional opportunities in his professional capacity as a musician and celebrity. The loss or departure of Mr. DeLonge could disrupt our operations and have an adverse effect on our business.

And ...

Beamed energy propulsion launch systems. This project has been proposed in academic papers, as have the potential risks, which include:
o beam director failure;
o beam instability due to weather conditions;
o degradation or failure of command and control;
o insufficient power to reach altitude;
o failure of beam director, optical, electronic, or mechanical components;
o unexpected bird strikes;
o regulatory issues with the FAA with regards to altitudes above 2,000 feet; and o problems in acquiring an adequate test site or electrical power.
 
On the one hand he is obviously insane, but on the other hand it would be the most 2017 thing ever if the guy from Blink 182 provided us with incontrovertible proof of alien life.

I will follow you to the end of the earth Tom. Blink-182 is nothing without your input.

The only reason he couldn't prove aliens exist is because Trump got elected.

$0.003 dollar shares are going for $5 dollars!!!

If it increases in value as fast as Google did then it will only take 1,100 years for you to break even.
That's like 2 in alien years.

Was going to say, I feel like we had a very similar thread a few years back...

That's because a couple years ago all the headlines liked to say he left Blink to go chase UFOs, but that's bullshit, he's been a UFO/alien nut since forever (example). He's been working on all these different projects with AvA, books, films, etc. and the new contracts they were getting with Blink would've made him drop all that stuff, so he refused and left.

I just want a new AVA album that's as good as Love Pt. 1

Everything you've ever made has been trash except for that one album

Earlier in the year, the musician was given an award for being 'Researcher Of The Year' from the International UFO Congress, and he promised to make waves in searching for more answers.

Sounds like he knows his shit.

Belief in extraterrestrials is not so far fetched, but a worldwide conspiracy where their earthy interactions have been kept secret? Too much.

I always thought this guy was just a huge troll, but that is not the case. He really does have some issues.
 
Man, imagine if a hundred years from now Tom DeLonge is known as the dude responsible for discovering alien life. That'd be a wild ride.
 
It's threads like these that stop me from speaking the truth about what I know. Sigh. Go back to your bubbles I guess. Have fun living in "reality".

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.

Are you posting this from Zion?

x Brain-computer interface technology. This technology is already being pursued by well-resourced companies, and
commercialization of any product will likely be well into the future.
x Engineering the space-time metric. This technology is in the very early stages, and success depends on a yet to be defined
breakthrough in propulsion to enable traveling to the stars at near light speed.
x Human ultra-experience database. This may involve extensive investment cost.
x Radiation shielding materials for space applications. The development and engineering of these materials is already being pursued
by well-resourced companies. As consumer-driven space travel evolves, the competitive field of companies in this industry will grow.
Development of the type of material necessary to reach the next level of innovation will be cost-intensive.
x Telepathy. Research into telepathy may require scientific testing on persons, which will expose the company to different risk factors
than its other proposed projects.
