Summary

Founder of To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science (TTSA) and the single most consequential private citizen in the modern UAP disclosure sequence. Despite holding no military, scientific, or intelligence credentials, DeLonge assembled an unprecedented civilian team of former senior government officials - including Luis Elizondo, Christopher Mellon, Hal Puthoff, Jim Semivan, and former Lockheed Skunk Works director Steve Justice - and coordinated the December 2017 New York Times disclosure that launched the modern era of government UAP acknowledgment. His pre-TTSA WikiLeaks-published emails to presidential campaign chairman John Podesta document verified meetings with active USAF general officers and Lockheed senior executives, providing primary source evidence of his government network. In 2019 TTSA signed a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army, the first official government agreement to study materials alleged to originate from UAP encounters.
