Former Blink 182 guitarist Tom DeLonge has a new\nproject: telling the world the truth about UFOs. DeLonge has always\nbeen interested in the supernatural, and he’s been researching and\nreporting the topic as part of a multimedia project called Sekret\nMachines that involves books, movies, music, and other moving\nparts. His first book, co-written by bestselling author AJ Hartley,\nis a pageturner novel called Chasing Shadows about a skeptical\njournalist who runs a UFO debunking website, a Holocaust survivor,\nan heiress whose father mysteriously dies, and a Marine pilot who\ngets recruited into a secret government technology project at Area\n51. Somehow, their stories all intersect.

\nMotherboard talked to DeLonge about this project and whether he\nreally believes all this stuff about aliens. We also dive into the\nweird and wonderful world of conspiracy theorists in the longest\nRadio Motherboard episode to date.
