At this point, Tom DeLonge 's fascination with UFOs is well-documented, but apparently his interests extended to other aspects of the paranormal, too.

Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker says his former band mate used to organize hunting expeditions for Bigfoot while on tour.

"[DeLonge] would even go as far as when we were on tour [to be] like, 'Let's go...look for Bigfoot,' whatever it was," Barker says. "And he would assemble a crew and they would go do it."

Barker clarifies that he would never join DeLonge on his Bigfoot adventures -- "That was just too fairy-tale for me," as he puts it -- but he does say that the two would often look outside the bus window for UFOs together.

DeLonge is further pursuing his UFO interests with his To the Stars Academy , while Barker and Blink-182 are working on a new album, the follow-up to 2016's California .
