Tom DeLonge was right – “Aliens Exist.”
Shortly after the House Oversight subcommittee on National Security conducted a bombshell hearing where witnesses testified about seeing aliens on Wednesday, Blink-182 fans flocked to social media to both praise and apologize to DeLonge, who famously left the band in 2015 to focus on investigating extraterrestrial existence.
“I think we all need to take a hard look at ourselves and apologize to Tom DeLonge,” one supporter wrote on Twitter, with another adding, “Tom DeLonge is gonna rule the world bc he was right about the aliens lmao.”
“So aliens exist huh,” a third tweeted. “Tom DeLonge was right. Everyone go apologize to him now.”
Another fan called the hearing a “historic day for humanity,” adding, “Dude, I watched the whole thing, you got name dropped. It was incredible.”
During Wednesday’s hearing, one witness – retired US Navy Commander David Fravor – gave a shout-out to DeLonge and To the Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences during his highly publicized testimony.
DeLonge, 47, co-founded the entertainment company, which focuses on researching and exploring the extraterrestrial space, in 2017. The US Army later inked a research partnership with the organization in 2019 to “probe everything from the mysteries of the universe to space-age technology.”
Amid the latest findings, the “All the Small Things” rocker took to his own Instagram this week to gloat over being “right.”
Declaring “Aliens F**king Exist,” DeLonge wrote in his caption, “The UFO Hearings today made history. I am so proud of the three witnesses today that blew the lid off the UFO secrecy that has been intact for decades.”
He continued, “[Ryan] Graves, Fravor and [David] Grusch are HEROES. I appreciated the shout-out during the hearing, but so many were involved with @tothestars.media to make this happen.”
The guitarist also shared a video from 20 years ago, when he first publicly stated that he was going to “f–king tell everyone” about aliens.
“Aliens gonna show up and be like, ‘Thanks, Tom. Nobody know who we were, but you totally told everybody – thanks so much,’” he said at the time. “And I’ll be like, ‘Dude, no problem.’”
Several fans quickly took to the comments section to sign off on the theory that DeLonge “was right all along” – and not actually “crazy,” as some critics labeled him at the time.
“All those years ago when you left blink to find aliens everyone on the planet thought you were crazy,” another noted. “But who the f–k is laughing now! Well done TTS
