Among the Company's planned projects is an Advanced Electromagnetic Vehicle (see rendering HERE), which its Aerospace Division Director (and former Program Director for Advanced Systems at Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works) Steve Justice describes as "a concept for an international point-to-point transportation craft that could dramatically reduce the current travel limits of distance and time. It mimics the capabilities observed in Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon by employing a drive system that alters the space-time metric. We have glimpses of how the physics of this works, but we need to harvest technologies from the Science Division to 'realize' the capability."

Holy smokes. So we’re gonna get warp-drive as a byproduct of the demand for international travel? I thought it was about taking the power back from the gubmint and open-sourcing the info for humanity as a collective. Ya know, rage against the machine, not competing with Elon Musk’s rocket-propelled international travel venture... At least they’re not promising to get you to the backside of the moon in a jiffy (funny enough, it’s a real unit of measure). New York to Shanghai is now possible?

What a load of sh*t! The hedging and equivocating that is coming out of this collective is beyond palatable. Now, I’m fully confident that this is more of a ‘venture capital’ endeavor than a ‘paradigm-shifter’. I’ll pass. I’ll bank on Space-X for my aerospace venture, visionary plants for my consciousness exploration, and Jeff Bezos to make sure my doom porn popcorn is delivered in time. Just wow.

wow thats the oldest trick in the book wtf delongue?

Yeah i dont buy the whole spaceship thing, i mean, cmon tom.

That said he just updated instagram again saying they will show declassified government ufo footage from high grade equipment, which is whay i wanna see.

declassified government ufo footage

It doesn't show anything then , being declassified and all.

I find it hard to believe the government would declassify anything that showed anything they were really concerned with.

Not to mention, if it's declassified, why do we need TDL to give it to us?

Has anyone actually looked into the Offering Circular of this public benefit corporation?

A tidbit from it:

We are required to pay the DeLonge Parties royalties on gross sales ranging from 0.5 – 15% depending on the product category ... the annual minimum royalty paid to the DeLonge Parties will be $100,000.

LOL

For something to be declassified it has to be assessed as not harmful to security or embarrassing. It's possible video of a Ufo could fit into that category.

The fact it's no longer classified doesn't mean its in the public domain. It still has to be put out there. Either through putting on a website, release to a favoured media publication or other avenue.

Its not impossible there are things for which this organisation has been selected as the avenue of release. Time will tell.

Brahahahaha! The only thing better than that tidbit, would be a public solicitation of bids for a bridge in Brooklyn. They sure do have the performance arts portion of their ‘arts’ iniative nailed down...TDL showcasing that real magick: The Art of the Con

I'm not suggesting it had to already be in the public domain, I'm saying it's something that can obtained though if somebody wanted it and there doesnt necessarily need to be a special endeavour by these specific people to get it. On this topic, IMO, if it's declassified, the govt surely is not that concerned with it and somebody just had to ask for it.

I personally dont believe disclosure is a thing though. People hoping they are going to willingly inform the public (and in essence, the world) that ETs are buzzing around are kidding themselves.

I dont see what the government's incentive is for disclosure. They havent spent 70-80 years doing the exact opposite just to flip without a REALLY good reason.

Now, I do believe there have been isolated instances where a rogue individual may have wanted it out there, like somebody feeding Bob Emenegger material, but ultimately the conspiracy of silence always wins out.

To get by asking for it you have to know exactly what to ask for and they have to be ready to release it at the point you ask.

If new information comes out then something clearly has changed. That could be for many reasons.

The good thing is they have made a committment now and either come through with previously unreleased footage, or they don't. That alone will tell if this is a serious endeavour or not. I'm straining hard to give the benefit of the doubt. 😀

From Tom DeLonge's Instagram account:

To The Stars Academy plans to be launching an Unscripted (reality) Television Series. On it, we aim to bring you in on our weekly progress building an Aerospace and Entertainment Co. We will invite you behind the scenes as we bring out (for the first time in history) US Gov Declassified Videos of UFOs, and Documents that have never-before been seen by the world. Videos captured on the most advanced Military technology in the world. Physical evidence that everyone has been waiting for. Exciting things ahead. Networks can contact APA Agency for all inquiries. Www.ToTheStarsAcademy.com

Looks like some widely held beliefs may be in need for an update.

I'll happily eat every sceptical word, with mustard, if they deliver on this. I'll even listen to his music while doing it (shudder)...

In what way ? , he's borne out everything what was expected , this is about business not UFOs.

That's entertainment !

a reply to: SacredLore

i just dont understand why it takes money? just do a youtube video with your evidence and documents and so called physical proof and you would have all the money in the world.

this sounds like a whole lot of BS. The chances that the US government would release information threw a reality tv show is asking allot.

i hope im wrong and i cant wait to see what his evidence is, if it is really mindblowing mark my words i will give him some of my cash but until i see it i call b.s/money grab.

We do not need the things Tom Delonge and his friends are trying to sell. maybe some people need it though ?
edit: reading my comment again i realize it doesn't make much sense.
disregard

Well -I dove in, folks. Yessiree: laid down (another) couple of Benjamin-chips on the Disclosure roulette wheel! Placed my bet on good ‘ole Number 37, currently occupied by TDL our Disclosee-flavor-of the-month: "Tommy"!

Some will say, “You Fool!” others will ask, “Why?” Yes, I’m expecting to lose the money entirely. But my illogic in placing this bet is not the point of this reply. Instead, I have a few questions. Perhaps Thomas-dL or one of his partners can chime in:

1. How confident is this ‘team’ that their government or ‘inside TPTB’ contacts aren’t playing a fun game of “Let’s Make the Rock Star a Red Herring”? What better method for distracting increasing hordes of UFO-lookie-loos, who are forever filing those pesky FOIA requests, than to get a young, mouthy, hip ‘artist-UFOenthusiast’ celebrity to be the latest Pied Piper and yank a few million newbie alien-hunters away from us? Can anyone spell_d-i-s-i-n-f-o?

2. Can the ‘team’ produce any sort of projection or timeline or PLAN whereby investors or other interested parties might decide for themselves if the all-important Return-on-Investment (ROI) can even be estimated? It sure would help their credibility (and fund-raising efforts) if individual contributors had something to chew on besides lots of warm air. The time-line thing is troublesome for one other very glaring reason: Other than TDL himself, his whole panel of ‘experts’ are, well, let’s just say “getting a little long-of-tooth”. C’mon: even reaching a tiny percentage of what TDL proposes will take many years, perhaps decades. And these dinosaurs are going to take us there? I guess it …Depends! As has been said many times in this thread by others: They’re all already retired from their compartmentalized positions. They no longer have access to labs (expensive R&D technology), no longer have access to an army of the best engineers (they can’t possibly be expert enough to take us to the stars all by themselves), and they certainly are not going to clear their funding hurdles with the spare change a few of us wanna-be types toss their way. HOW, WHERE, and WHEN is ANY of this starship building going to occur. Oh wait – we’re going to make a movie and sell bumper stickers first – that’s right.

3. Is that ill-prepared, confusing tea$er show in an empty theater the best you can do? I can’t be the only observer here that thinks TDL was just about the most inept and uninspiring “spokesperson” I can imagine to place in front of the world for the most profoundly earth-shattering revelation ever. I mean, IF Tom has the goods (or can truly get it – a BIG ‘if’) and he wants us to pay for it, your first 40-minute Infomercial should’ve had a bit more spit-and-polish. Look, Tom, I know you are passionate about this (so are we). I know you are driven and motivated, hungry for the truth, determined to succeed (and why not get even richer in the process, eh?). I get that. But, please, take a lesson or two in Public Speaking. It is NOT enough to be passionate. You need a good messenger! Someone who is articulate, has some (genuine) scientific knowledge, and a bit of ‘everyman’ charisma (not just chutzpah). You looked a bit nervous up there buddy; ill-prepared – the ad-libbing parts were especially painful. You need to appeal to a broad range of the population. And practice, practice, practice! Sorry – just MHO, but that was kind of a weak 1st impression you gave us if you want us to hand over million$, my good fellow… (and you WILL need many millions to accomplish just a fraction of what you are proposing).

4. Will you accept this challenge?: Give the world ONE THING, just ONE MORSEL of anything that differentiates you from “the others” – and there are many, many others. We’ve all been on this ride before, Tommy (yes, with some differences). The Greer-to-Friedman merry-go-rounds of selling books, DVDs, seminars, UFO conferences, and love-ins on mountain slopes. *Sigh*. Ok, you’re an ‘artist’ - movies might be an exciting venue for you. But we’ve seen plenty of movies, documentaries, YouPube garbage, and sure, after 13 seasons, Ancient Aliens is wearing a bit thin on material too. So Whaddya got? Your next biggest thing (if we cough up enough dough) is -a movie. Really? About what? Area 51? Alien technology speculation? Future spaceship design? Yawn. I don’t have much more money I’m going to be parting with on your behalf if all I can expect is a C-class “Tom’s Star-Dream” flick. And please tell me you don’t plan on being the main protagonist-narrator in said film (see #3 above).

5. How come the guy had to put the spoon behind his back to bend it for you? Why can’t the spoon-bender bend it right in front of your eyes??

Oh, and one more:
6. Tom – what've your 'handlers’ said about this (especially the JFK-thing)?:







p.s. --you're gonna need a bigger library...



:UP: Good luck all! The casino is open!:

a reply to: Outrageo

very well written, i think its great you put in some cash you are more adventurous then i am. The video you linked in your post is painful to watch. He comes across as low class, uneducated pop trash, not the face of a new era of humanity.

i hope that i am wrong and that video is just TDL trying to look edgy.


PROVE US ALL WRONG TDL

i'm willing to put my money where my mouth is, if he comes out with truly verifiable alien technology i pledge 250$ to his cause.

The whole story is so highly coloured and so picaresque that it reminds me of an old Italian movie - Un ettaro di cielo/An Acre of Sky - set in a small isolated village in which during a trade show an inventive street vendor manages to sell to a bunch of older people an acre of sky where they would rest in peace after death.

The oldies fall for it and decide to commit suicide (although not successfully) in order to arrive at the piece of sky they bought.

Too funny for words.
