According To Twitter, It Looks Like We're Getting Aliens Next

Welcome to another day in 2020, where one should pretty much expect the unexpected. Yesterday, the Pentagon declassified three videos featuring UFO's that many have already seen, thanks to a combination of the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program and To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science, a company co-founded by former Blink-182 member Tom DeLonge.

While the videos have been circulating for several years, it was the Pentagon's choice to declassify them yesterday that led many to lose their minds on Twitter, sending aliens, Tom DeLonge, and the hashtag #aliensarealive to trend for hours. In addition, many were concerned with the government choosing to release the videos during a global pandemic, when stress and anxiety are at an all time high. Is it safe to say that we should be expecting aliens soon? Or perhaps we should wait for Bigfoot to make an appearance first?

Perhaps they were just responding to Trump's suggestion that we drink bleach?

While others spent their time wondering what the aliens might actually look like.

At this point, we have no evidence that aliens don’t look like this. #aliensarereal pic.twitter.com/oa7CmZ6wFe

By staying home, we've cleared the way to finally see the skies.

Some users were happy to bring some logic to the conversation.

Y’all do know UFO doesn’t automatically mean aliens right? It’s just an unidentifiable flying object. I mean aliens are probably real though but the term UFO isn’t mutually exclusive to them

To others, this was all of the evidence they needed.

Especially Kid Cudi, who tweeted that Jaden Smith had already confirmed their existence.

Aliens are real. Jaden told me so. He says he knows a couple and they bring him snacks some time. Rice krispies, cookies. U know. The good stuff.

Important questions were asked.

Do you think the aliens think we’re ugly?

— John Roberts (@JohnRobertsFun) April 28, 2020

can someone ask the aliens if they need beats?

Many were left wondering why the Pentagon chose to release this news during the current global crisis.

Some users observed that we had other things to worry about.

Everyone is too depressed to care about aliens existing

Former Blink-182 member Tom DeLonge released his own thoughts on the Pentagon finally confirming the videos.

With today’s events and articles on my and TTSAcademy</a>’s efforts to get the US Gov to start the grand conversation, I want to thank every share holder at To The Stars for believing in us. Next, we plan on pursuing the technology, finding more answers and telling the stories.</p>&mdash; Tom DeLonge (tomdelonge) April 28, 2020

 
Many people commended DeLonge in his long journey to prove that aliens exist.
