Alien abductions and conspiracy theories

DeLonge has always believed in aliens, UFOs, and conspiracy theories, even before forming Blink-182.

Travis Barker, a former member of the band, stated in a 2019 interview that he is pretty passionate about them and that he would check for UFOs outside the tour bus window and even form search groups to find Bigfoot. DeLonge launched To The Stars, Inc. in 2015, which he then combined into the bigger To the Stars Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2017. Aside from the entertainment section, the new corporation has aerospace and science divisions dedicated to ufology and To the Star's co-founder Harold Puthoff's fringe science suggestions. In a 2018 financial statement filed with the SEC, the Company stated that it "has suffered losses from operations and has a $37,432,000 accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2018. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is harmed by these circumstances."

In 2019, the business created the History Channel television show Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation, which also features DeLonge and is about the USS Nimitz UFO encounter.
