Have you ever wondered what Tom DeLonge was up to since he left Blink-182?

He’s gone from playing all the small things to a very big thing. He founded a UFO & extra-terrestial focused research academy and it has just signed a deal with the US Army.

For the next 5 years the two will collaborate. Tom’s sister Kari, who is Chief Content Officer went so far as to compare the deal to the Space Race in the 1960s.
