We begin from the premise that this Phenomenon is real; we don’t try to “prove” it to anyone,
What we do is proceed from the assumption that the Phenomenon is real and has been observed throughout history.
regardless of whether or not we ever “prove” the reality of the Phenomenon.

DeLonge and his sources seem to think that the subject is really complex......... This could be an explanation for why an entire series of books and movies is planned.
More likely just so he can make more money!
A typical complaint. However, DeLonge is worth something like $40 Million, Books like this do not sell well. It's chump change to him. Buy the T-shirt and coffee cup, too, if you want--or don't. But to claim he's just in it for the money is a cheap and ignorant shot. He doesn't need the money. He BELIEVES, and he's being used because hes quasi-famous with a certain generation, and it's their turn to get fed this line of crap.

...So he's being used to sell us all more folklore....maybe....but WHY? Who benefits from us believing in what they're selling?

"talking to the right people" to use him for disinfo purposes? Possibly,
They certainly haven't stopped developing secret projects so I suspect they would likely still have an interest in painting a public picture of the UFO field as being not too credible so people won't take UFO reports too seriously, helping to keep secret projects secret.
In the darkest days of the cold war, the military lied to the American public about the true nature of many unidentified flying objects in an effort to hide its growing fleets of spy planes, a Central Intelligence Agency study says...
Rather than acknowledgeing the existence of the top-secret flights or saying nothing about them publicly, the Air Force decided to put out false cover stories, the C.I.A. study says. For instance, unusual observations that were actually spy flights were attributed to atmospheric phenomena like ice crystals and temperature inversions.
''Over half of all U.F.O. reports from the late 1950's through the 1960's were accounted for by manned reconnaissance flights'' over the United States, the C.I.A. study says. ''This led the Air Force to make misleading and deceptive statements to the public in order to allay public fears and to protect an extraordinarily sensitive national security project.''
Spy and stealth planes--some with bizarre, bat-shaped wings, others with triangular silhouettes that imply otherworldly designs--have long generated UFO sightings and lore. And official denials feed rumors that the government isn't telling us about alien ships. The CIA estimates that over half of the UFOs reported from the '50s through the '60s were U-2 and SR-71 spy planes. At the time, the Air Force misled the public and the media to protect these Cold War programs; it's possible the government's responses to current sightings of classified craft--whether manned or remotely operated--are equally evasive. The result is an ongoing source of UFO reports and conspiracy theories. Here are the Earth-built craft that likely have lit up 911 switchboards over the years.
1. RQ-3 Darkstar
2. U-2
3. SR-71 Blackbird
4. P-791
5. F-117A Nighthawk
6. B-2 Spirit
The fake photo definitely isnt a good look though, to the point its hard not to be skeptical.
Right. The faked photos are probably not the genuine honesty Springer was hoping for, which leaves us with his other alternative.

This is my fault: DeLonge used various UFO pictures in social media but he never claimed that they were new or real! It was I (!) who made that claim and I apologized as soon as I realized my mistake.

Not sure if it's been mentioned in the thread, but there is a PREVIEW.
has been chosen as a channel for disclosure is that he is well known with younger people who would just go "Vallee, who?".
