Tom DeLonge Will be on ATS to Answer Your Sekret Machines Questions: April 11, 2016

ATS, get ready to have your paradigm shifted. Next week the one and only Tom DeLonge, co-author and creative inspiration behind Secret Machines: Chasing Shadows, will be on ATS for an “Ask Me Anything.”

While many may know of Mr. DeLonge as the lead vocals and guitar of blink182, Springer and I have had the pleasure of a long conversation about his passion for uncovering the truth behind the UFO phenomenon. Over the past couple of years, he’s packed more research and interviews with connected people than many UFO experts do in a lifetime. His goal is to bring about disclosure, and not rest until it happens.

Tom’s first shot-across-the-bow at the powers that be is his blockbuster book, Sekret Machines: Chasing Shadows. Based in large part on the research Tom has completed over the past few years, it’s a fast-paced novel based on actual events, written in collaboration with New York Times best selling author and distinguished academic, A. J. Hartley.

As an ATS exclusive, we’ve arranged for a free download of the first four chapters. Just click here: Sekret Machines: Chasing Shadows PDF

So get your questions ready. This one will be epic.

Written by award-winning creator Tom DeLonge and NYTimes bestselling academic AJ Hartley in a powerful collaboration with top government advisors that keep the truth on course in this historical thriller.

Good lord! You got the lead singer of Blink 182 to do an AMA because he's an avid UFO researcher with many accomplishments under his belt?



Thank you SO!

Damn...I just spend over 4+ hours searching THOUSANDS of old Geocities websites that are now cached (since Geocities is no more).

Back in the late 90's I had one of the few Blink 182 fan sites.

Sadly, at some point I changed the site to something else and it is no more.

I had lyrics, MIDI files, pictures ... it was the website that I taught myself to code HTML on.

I was really looking forward to finding it and being able to show Tom

I now, officially seen enough mid to late 90's websites to last me a lifetime. Holy hell how far the internet has come.

Sorry SO, that paragraph was enough for me. Almost like a wind up before a pitch.

As an old G punk rocker (for lack of a better term) ...id rather discuss music. :/

If I can ask one question in this AMA, it's to you. What makes Mr. DeLonge stand out as an authority in the UFO phenomenon, that we should be asking him questions instead of the other way around?

I mean that genuinely..or are we just pitching books?

Sorry, you know I speak my mind.

Awesome. This seems like it will be interesting. Remember a few songs from Blink 182 back in the day..why does that make me feel old. Hopefully my laptop will be able to run it decently. This is when I wish I had access to my main dev computer and not an aging laptop that has issues with youtube and facebook games -_-. Either way I will be following this.

On a side note, what are the chances we can get Micahel Aquino back for a follow up?

By far the best and most prepared individual...ready and willing to share his thoughts. I want more!

Thanks for all your hard work getting people on here for these interesting AMAs. Good job!

I'm Enthused to hear you guys pulled some Strings to get Mr. DeLonge to discuss that Alien's Exist. I feel like I'm on a Carousel where I will discover A New Hope for the discussion of aliens and UFOs. Just remember All The Small Things add up if this is your First Date with the topic.

You'll be Feeling This amazing sensation on the Roller Coaster called Life, as you delve Down into the intricacies of the topic at hand. I'm Sorry to those who don't get this Anthem. But Sometimes if you stay Up All Night researching Alien's and UFOs, you may become fatigued.

Please Don't Leave Me waiting too long for Mr. DeLonge's participation.
