The To the Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences co-founded by Blink 182 lead singer Tom DeLonge claims it's found material from an alien spaceship

A group of researchers co-founded by former Blink 182 front man Tom DeLonge claims to have discovered material they believe may have come from an alien spaceship.

The 43-year-old lead singer and MTV Music Awards winner funds the collective of alien hunters that form the To the Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences - creators of the 'UNIDENTIFIED' six-part docuseries that aired earlier this year on the History Channel.

The group already has unearthed real UFO footage recorded by U.S. pilots whose authenticity was verified by military officials last week.

A spokesperson for To The Stars told the New York Times its newest discovery is 'exotic material samples from UFOs,' declining to comment further.

DeLonge himself has posted photos of the flat stony objects on his Instagram page along with comments from himself and a To The Stars Academy official.

A To The Stars Academy leader says, 'The structure and composition of these materials are not from any known existing military or commercial application'

'The structure and composition of these materials are not from any known existing military or commercial application,' Steve Justice, former head of Advanced Systems at Lockheed Martin's 'Skunk Works' who now leads To the Stars' Technology and Aerospace team, said of the find, according to DeLong.

'We currently have multiple material samples being analyzed by contracted laboratories and have plans to extend the scope of this study,' he added.

DeLonge first announced the Academy's discovery in a July 25 Instagram post, telling his followers they believe the material came from an 'Unidentified Aerial Vehicle.'

'We have been able to establish that the material shows highly advanced anomalous engineering capabilities,' the singer wrote. 'This acquisition will allow us to expand the scope of our ADAM Research Project and accelerate R&D that could lead to numerous aerospace and engineering breakthroughs.'

DeLonge says he has been fascinated by the prospects of alien life since he was in junior high school

At least some of the material obtained by To The Stars, 'shows distortion and damage that appears to be caused by exposure to very high temperatures, but did not burn,' according to Justice.

'We have some very strategic plans to help turn the science of these pieces into advanced capabilities,' the researcher was quoted saying in another of DeLong'es recent IG posts.

'Wave Guides, mass reduction, all new meta-materials, and many more potentials are within view of new studies, some of which are already happening, and more studies we are planning.'

DeLonge says he has been fascinated by the prospects of alien life since he was in junior high school.

'I started becoming very fascinated in the idea of what else is there besides working a 9-to-5 job and coming from a broken family,' the singer told the New York Times. 'For some reason I just thought science fiction was just fascinating. My brother and I were so into the whole 'Star Wars' thing, obviously, in the early '80s. It just kind of led to me thinking a little bit broader.'

He said alien hunters like himself have been waiting for the U.S. government to confirm the existence of extra terrestrials, regarding the military's recent transparency on its pilots' UFO footage as a step in the right direction.

'This whole thing could be answered by the government,' DeLonge added. 'We're just waiting for them to come and help us with some of this research. This situation that just happened is literally something I and many other people have been waiting for for not years, but decades. This is what we've been hoping it would do so it can really just ignite more smart people and intellectuals to get into this race and help us figure out more about it.'

So far neither the U.S. military has commented on To The Stars' latest findings.

NASA did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment Monday night.
