Former Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge really wants to know the truth about aliens.
To that end, To the Stars Academy of the Arts and Sciences — the organization DeLonge leads — released a declassified military video on Friday of what they’re claiming is a UFO.
The video, captured on a U.S. Navy F/A 18 Super Hornet fighter jet, includes the two pilots laughing as they wonder, “what the fuck is that thing?”
Using an infrared camera, the pilots track what appears to be a swiftly-moving white dot flying above the ocean. Read more…

Chrissy Teigen is not here for your bullshit, especially if that bullshit involves suggesting she and her husband John Legend are involved in a pedophile ring involving their own daughter.
On Saturday, Teigen laid into a conspiracy theorist on …
The best part about Chrissy Teigen’s peculiar LAX flight is this insane conspiracy theory

When Chrissy Teigen and John Legend (and a bunch of other people) boarded a plane to Tokyo from LA, they probably didn’t think they would get a bizarre flight pattern—and one not-so-convincing fugative theory.
Their plane made an unexpected return to Los Angeles Airport on Thursday night and naturally, Teigen live-tweeted the events. But someone out there somehow managed to take those live-tweets and turn it into a piping hot conspiracy theory about Teigen and Legend fleeing the country. She shared screenshots of this user’s thoughts on the flight fiasco, and they’re uh, pretty unique.

At Christmas time Mariah Carey, who is very festive, gains special powers, because she is the Christmas Queen.
Fans shared a video of Mariah signing autographs in the middle of her show earlier this week, which is honestly a very weird thing to do, and likely messes with the entire flow of the whole thing. Anyway, Mariah appears to be sitting on a small stool or chair during the impromptu signing, but right before the clip ends, she stands, and there is NOTHING behind her for support.
