In 2015, DeLonge founded an entertainment company called To The Stars, Inc. which, in 2017 he merged into a larger To the Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences. Aside from the entertainment division, the new company has aerospace and science divisions dedicated to ufology and the fringe science proposals of To the Star's co-founder, Harold Puthoff.[97] In a 2018 financial statement filed with the SEC, the company reported that it "has incurred losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2018 of $37,432,000. These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern."[98] In 2019, the company produced the History Channel television show Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation, about the USS Nimitz UFO incident, which also features DeLonge.[99] In April 2020, the Pentagon declassified three videos which had been captured of UFOs. DeLonge had previously released these videos through his company, back in 2017.[100] weki
