I'm Tom DeLonge, Co-Author of Sekret Machines: Chasing Shadows, Ask Me Anything

Oh yeah, man, one more. How do you feel about Skiba replacing you? Were you as surprised as I was that he was joining blink? No offense to you guys, but I always felt that ALK3 and Blink, while great in their own right, were too different to mesh sounds. Trio being a bit darker, and blink leaning more on the prankster funny side of things.

ETA: Here's a link to an interview with Skiba concerning his fill-in role.

Strange that Skiba's other band's name is Sekrets . . .

Skiba Interview

a reply to: Ddrneville

Hail to the rockstar indeed. There are better ways to go about questioning a man's knowledge, motives and/or credibility that do not involve personal attacks. I've questioned Mr.DeLonge's veracity at least twice during this AMA and have already once (and now a second time) admitted to being a fan of his work, particularly Blink182 and Boxcar Racer.

However, I do not believe that good Tom is acting here today in the capacity of "rockstar" although, quite clearly, its mention is an inevitably. It has nothing to do with high strangeness, however. Which is the topic, along with the books, of this thread.

Tom, with all of the projects that you're working on as of late, how do you manage to make sure that everything you're releasing is up to the snuff, especially with the projects spanning over so many different forms of media? Also, could you describe what it was like when you had the revelation to start pursuing so many different projects at once?

Thank you for taking the time to do this man, it means a lot!

Nice to have you join us all, Tom.

What is your opinion on the validity of the descriptions of the various ET races encountered( Greys, Nordics, Reptilians, Insectoids...etc)? Are these depictions "true"? Is it all BS or have we encounter Weirder things out there?

Oh and by the way, great book. Hoping the sequels are as good.

Is there a connection with the 411 mysteries by D. Paulides and the information you are privy to.

Thanks T.

Have you read the Terra Papers?

The premise makes more sense to me then anything else.

I tend to believe the "War in Heaven" was a real war of off planet beings.

Look up "black triangle UFO" a reply to: Gilcasas

Yes look up black triangles, they are out there. Still trying to figure out what I saw some years back.

Whats your opinion of the Orange Orb Phenomena, which are usually called "Foo Fighters" on this site?

That would require the earth to be a flat disc in order to cover up that it's a flat disc, so probably not.

1. This guy claims to have been "told" some UFO stuff, so immediately all the posters here ask questions about every known UFO story there is, as well as questions about the nature of the universe. My question about that is, "What is the limit of your knowledge?" Are you now suddenly a UFO expert who makes Isaac Koi seem like a dabbler in UFO phenomenon?

Pretty sure he said he asked questions, some were answered, some were not.

That he believed those he asked the questions of were telling the truth.

I don't see where he's claimed anything else.

By the way. I'm not buying what Tom is selling either. .but to be fair to him, just cuz he doesn't answer your question doesn't mean you are right or he is afraid to answer.

To be honest, you're the one who's pretty much gotten me convinced that there are extra terrestrial life out there somewhere, and thanks for that (!!!). But, why isn't this official yet? I mean, if the government know things they're keeping classified, why won't they tell us the truth? Don't we, as fellow human beings, deserve to know the truth and maybe brace ourselves for some kind of, hopefully friendly, invasion? So basically, why is this still a secret??

a reply to: TomDeLonge

Sorry I missed it. Nice info!

a reply to: 3danimator2014

I agree with you but for the record I am right. If he answers my question or not it doesn't change anything. I'm going to assume he won't answer any of my questions.

On a side note, may I recommend a book called Dulce Base: TRUTH AND EVIDENCE from the case files of Gabe Valdez written by his son.

His evidence points the finger at black silent helicopters on government spooks when discussing cattle mutilation. May be worth the read though not sure if he is more of a prominent source than say Padesta.
