We've known since the song "Aliens Exist" on Enema of the State that former Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge believes, well, that aliens exist. Still, it's pretty funny to find him chatting casually about UFOs with Hillary Clinton's campaign manager in a dump of emails from Wikileaks.

Now here's something you don't see every day: an F-16 fighter jet buzzing through the skies of North Korea and launching - fireworks. The plane roaring over people's heads at the country's first air show Sunday was actually a remote-controlled mock-up of the fabled U.S Air Force fighter.
