READ: Vice President JD Vance Says UFOs May Be “Demons,” Not Aliens
Vice President JD Vance says he is deeply interested in the mystery surrounding UFOs, but his interpretation of the phenomenon is not the standard extraterrestrial one. During a March interview with political commentator Benny Johnson, Vance said he had been “obsessed” with UFO files since taking office and still intends to investigate what the government knows about unidentified flying objects and unidentified aerial phenomena.
“I don’t think they’re aliens,” Vance said during the conversation. “I think they’re demons anyway, but that’s a longer discussion.”
Vance, who converted to Catholicism as an adult, explained that he tends to view strange aerial or “extra natural” phenomena through a Christian framework. He noted that many major religions, including Christianity, have long described realities beyond the visible world, including both good and evil spiritual forces.
“When I hear about extra natural phenomenon,” he said, he thinks of the Christian understanding that “there’s a lot of good out there, but there’s also some evil out there.”
The comments came amid renewed political interest in UFO disclosure. President Trump had previously announced plans to begin identifying and releasing government files related to UFOs, UAPs, and extraterrestrial life. Vance told Johnson that the administration was “working on it” and said he still hopes to examine the matter more closely before leaving office.
“I’ve still got three more years as vice president,” Vance said. “I will get to the bottom of the UFO files.”
He also said he has considered visiting locations associated with UFO lore, including Area 51 and New Mexico, though scheduling has prevented those trips so far. His remarks place him among a growing number of public figures openly discussing UFOs, government transparency, and the possibility that the mystery may involve more than conventional explanations.
