The truth is out there…  and Tom DeLonge wants you to know he told you so.

“I was in New York yesterday getting ready for our show when my phone explodes with messages that the Navy has acknowledged that the three videos taken by their fighter pilots really do show unidentified aerial phenomenon,” he wrote in an Instagram post on Wednesday.

“I applaud their lifting the silence. THIS IS HUGE!”

DeLonge, the former blink-182 member who now fronts Angels & Airwaves, has been working for several years to prove the existence of UFOs through his To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science.

In 2017, the Academy shared three videos of unknown objects in U.S. airspace recorded by infrared cameras on fighter jets.

This week, Vice’s tech site Motherboard quoted U.S. Navy spokesperson Joseph Gradisher as saying “the Navy considers the phenomena contained/depicted in those 3 videos as unidentified.”

DeLonge said “this acknowledgement by the Navy is unprecedented.”

He added: “Facts are starting to replace unsubstantiated claims and the fog that has masked the reality of UAPs is clearing. WE ARE MAKING REAL PROGRESS – I AM SO EXCITED!!”
