In 2018 To the Stars Academy (TTSA), the company founded by musician Tom DeLonge, launched its A.D.A.M. project (Acquisition and Data Analysis of Materials) to study metal fragments allegedly from UFOs, and in 2019 signed a research agreement with the U.S. Army. No exotic properties have been demonstrated.[1][2]
The materials

TTSA said in July 2019 that it had acquired metamaterials attributed to "an advanced aerospace vehicle of unknown origin". The best-known samples, layered bismuth and magnesium-zinc said to come from a crash, had been circulated by radio host Art Bell, who said he received them from an anonymous source, and were associated with journalist Linda Moulton Howe. A 2019 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission showed that DeLonge sold the "bismuth/magnesium-zinc metal" and aluminium samples to TTSA as an individual for $35,000.[2]
The Army agreement
On 17 October 2019 TTSA announced a cooperative research and development agreement with the Army's Combat Capabilities Development Command, executed by its Ground Vehicle Systems Center in Warren, Michigan. No money changed hands and there was no defined deliverable; TTSA described the scope as materials science, space-time metric engineering, quantum physics, beamed energy propulsion and active camouflage.[2]
Related contracts
TTSA paid EarthTech International, run by its vice-president for science and technology Hal Puthoff, up to $35,000 for materials analysis and $25,000 for beamed energy propulsion work, according to 2018 filings. Observers noted that TTSA was raising millions of dollars from investors at the time.[2]
Assessment
Skeptics believe the materials are ordinary industrial or manufacturing waste, and independent analyses have not shown anything beyond known technology. The Army agreement ended in 2021, and in 2024 the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office said it had examined similar bismuth-magnesium samples and found them to be of terrestrial origin.[1][3]
