Aliens Exist: The U.S. Navy confirms UFO videos posted by Tom DeLonge are real

It’s unfair for former Blink-182 // current Angels And Airwaves guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge to be such a punching bag, especially when it comes to his firm belief in the existence of extraterrestrial life. It appears now that there is something rather substantial to DeLonge’s beliefs, as 3 UFO videos, first reported by the New York Times and DeLonge’s To The Stars in 2017, are now being acknowledged by the U.S. Navy.

As reported by The History Channel, who also run the series Unidentified which explores unidentified phenomena, the videos are a part of a larger effort to investigate

The news that the Navy considers the three videos—unofficially known as “FLIR1,” “Gimbal” and “GoFast”—as examples of UAPs first appeared on The Black Vault, a website that specializes in declassified government documents. “FLIR1” is from November 14, 2004, and “Gimbal” and “GoFast” are from January 21, 2015. Joseph Gradisher, official spokesperson for the deputy chief of naval operations for information warfare, emphasized to HISTORY that these videos represent only some of the UAP sightings the Navy is investigating.

“Those three videos are just part of a larger effort by the U.S. Navy to try and investigate a series of incursions into our training ranges by phenomena that we’re calling unidentified aerial phenomena,” says Gradisher, who declined to say how many sightings there have been. “Our aviators train as they fight. So when they’re out there training, if there’s an incursion by any kind of aerial vehicle phenomena, whatever, it puts the safety of our aviators at risk as well as the security of our training operations.”

Now, a U.S. Navy spokerperson named Joseph Gradisher has confirmed to The Black Vault that the aircraft are “unidentified” – not merely “balloons” or “drones”, as they are usually labeled. It is important to note, of course, that the Navy isn’t confirming that aliens exist (blink and read that again), but that the aircraft in the videos can’t be positively identified.

“I very much expected that when the U.S. military addressed the videos, they would coincide with language we see on official documents that have now been released, and they would label them as ‘drones’ or ‘balloons,’” Greenwald told Motherboard. “However, they did not. They went on the record stating the ‘phenomena’ depicted in those videos, is ‘unidentified.’ That really made me surprised, intrigued, excited and motivated to push harder for the truth.”

Needless to say, it’s clear that DeLonge isn’t messing around when it comes to his passions. In fact, this is something that, on a more musical and artistic note, might make both a great Angels And Airwaves concept album – as well as an episode of The X-Files. Chris Carter, make it happen please!
