Tom DeLonge's public benefit corporation bringing together former military and intelligence officials to investigate UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) and advance aerospace research — a significant force behind the mainstream rehabilitation of UFO research.
Institutional legitimacy for UAP research: To the Stars Academy recruited former DoD officials — Luis Elizondo (AATIP director), Christopher Mellon (Deputy Asst. Secretary of Defense for Intelligence), and others — giving it unprecedented credibility for a UAP-focused organization. The release of the Tic Tac, Gimbal, and Go Fast videos (2017) through TTSA and the New York Times changed the cultural and political status of UAP discourse. The 2020 DoD confirmation of the videos' authenticity and the 2021 UAP Congressional report followed directly from TTSA's advocacy.
