widely reported to have belonged to retired Air Force major general Wil- liam Neil McCasland, associated with some of the U.S. government’s most surreptitious high- tech operations, including the Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base, outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico, where many UFO sightings have been reported over the decades, most famously the 1947 Roswell incident. “He mentioned he’s a
‘skeptic’, he’s not,” Delonge wrote Podesta regarding McCasland in a January 25 email. “He just has to say
that out loud, but he is very, very aware — as he was in charge of all of the stuff. When Roswell crashed, they shipped it to the laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.
General McCasland was in charge of that exact laboratory up to a couple years ago.” As the release date
of his novel approached, DeLonge sought Podesta’s assistance planting stories in the media, per a Feb- ruary 16 email from the WikiLeaks collection. “This first piece is
going to be with Rolling Stone, they’re flying a journalist out to sit with me for two days and do an in-depth printed feature on this,” wrote DeLonge. “We like Rolling
Stone, right?” He added, “We are
planning on doing the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, or the Washington Post,” and asked Podesta for help. “My question is this:
Do you know anybody at those institutions that you can put in a good
word to consider the story? I think we can do fine on our own, but knowing a good journal- ist, somebody that would get the hint if you put out an email, we can set up the entire project cred- ibly. I remember Leslie Keane, but I can’t remem- ber who she writes for... Or somebody else more elevated than her, that they can get this in the right publication.” In a February 23
update, DeLonge boasted that his inside connec- tions with the govern- ment were paying off in Hollywood. “I met with ScottFree
(Ridley Scott’s company) last week — they did The Martian film that has won incredible acclaim over this past year. They were blown away by what I am doing, they need a couple weeks to
dig through the Novel. Like everybody else I meet with, their faces drop halfway through the meeting and can’t believe that I am spearheading a project that has support from the shadows. They look comatosed... Ha. But they it’s so [sic] incredibly excited that this topic may start to come out.” In an apparent ref-
erence to McCasland, Delonge said, “The Gen- eral (from Wright Patt R&D) and I talk every other day. He and I talked on the phone the other night and he is excited, he really thinks that the DOD is going to embrace my project because I am out to show all the posi- tive things great people have done on this topic. And I am eager to take direction from leadership to do a good and needed public service.”
