'I think that one of the Devil's great tricks is to convince people he never existed.'
Vice President JD Vance leads a Fraud Task Force meeting in the Indian Treaty Room at the White House on March 27, 2026 in Washington, DC.JD Vance says that UFOs aren’t aliens visiting Earth from distant planets.
The Vice President thinks they’re actually demons. Vance sat down with Benny Johnson, the right-wing influencer who was fired from two different media outlets in the 2010s. Johnson asked the vice president: “Are you going to release the UFO files?” a reference to President Donald Trump’s promise in February to release secret information on UAPs. “We’re working on it,” Vance replied. “It’s funny, when I came in, I was obsessed with the UFO files and then you start getting really busy worrying about the economy and national security and things like that. But I’ve still got three more years as vice president. I will get to the bottom the UFO files.” Johnson asked if he had “peeked” at the files and Vance said that he hadn’t, though it’s unlikely that there’s just one folder or storage closet you could open up to get a comprehensive look at anything suspiciously alien in the U.S. government. Much like the “Epstein files,” the alien files would presumably be spread out across several agencies and detail weird sightings as well as various government studies. Vance told Johnson that there have been a couple of occasions when he’s wanted to go to Area 51, but “the timing of the trip didn’t work out.” He reassured listeners that he’s “more curious than anybody” about the topic and pledged to get to the bottom of it before he leaves office. But the discussion got weird, as Vance volunteered unprompted that he doesn’t think they’re aliens, insisting that he “thinks their demons, anyway.” “I think that celestial beings who fly around to do weird things to people… I think that the desire to describe everything celestial, everything is otherworldly to described as aliens…” Vance said winding up. “I mean, every great world religion including Christianity, the one that I believe in, has understood that there are weird things out there and there are things that are very difficult to explain,” said Vance. “And I naturally go, when I hear about sort of extra-natural phenomenon, that’s where I go to is the Christian understanding that, you know, there’s a lot of good out there, but there’s also some evil out there.”“I don’t think they’re aliens. There are weird things out there that are very difficult to explain.” The Vice President tells me he’s going to AREA 51 with his Top Secret Security Clearance to FIND OUT.Trump has reportedly directed the release of files on UFOs due to “tremendous interest.” That interest was sparked by President Barack Obama’s claim that “aliens are real but I haven’t seen them.” Obama later clarified his remarks, stating that he’d seen no evidence while he was president that humans had ever made contact with extraterrestrial life but that “statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there.” Oddly, Trump told reporters shortly after that Obama was divulging classified information. “He’s not supposed to be doing that. He made a big mistake. He took it out of classified information,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. No new files have been released on UAPs or aliens and it’s hard to believe his government is working very hard on releasing anything. Given the ongoing war in Iran, the Department of Defense probably has its hands full.Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine Hits Its Lowest Price of the Year for Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, Cut Your Daily Coffee Costs at HomeAmazon Clears Out Govee LED Smart Light Bulbs at a Record Low, Each Bulb Costs Just a Few DollarsSamsung Bespoke AI Refrigerator Wants to Take the Stress Out of the KitchenYou’ll Never Believe This but Elon Musk Doesn’t Get to Pay TSA Workers’ Salaries
