Apologies for the bump, but a year later and... Tom Delonge is now an
academic in this subject, co-writing a novel and heading up a multimedia called 'Sekret Machines' (comic books, movies, books etc).
When talking about his meetings with 'high-level government officials':
My knowledge of the UFO phenomenon as an academic of the subject and presenting a thesis to these people instantly made them understand that I could be a rare force that could execute this type of a project.
A bit more:
How can you not be completely obsessed with that? You're telling me we've conquered gravity and nobody's known about it? You're telling me there's a bunch of weird shit going on on the Moon that nobody knows about and that's why we haven't gone back? Yes [laughs] . You don't have to see a UFO to be completely blown away by the contents of the subject matter.

As a Blink fan throughout my teenage years, I'm a bit worried about this chap!
