Vice President JD Vance claims UFOs are ‘demons’ and he’ll ‘get to the bottom of it’ when he visits Area 51

US Vice President JD Vance has claimed that UFOs are 'demons' in an interview with Benny Johnson.

Promising to 'get to the bottom of the UFO files', Vance appeared on The Benny Show this week, where he spoke about his 'obsession' with UFOs.

Vance was asked by Johnson if he was going to 'release the UFO files' to which Vance responded: "We're working on it... I will get to the bottom of the UFO files.

"I have not been able to spend enough time on this to understand it... I'm obsessed with this, I've had a couple of times where I've been like, we're going to Area 51, we're going out to New Mexico, we're going to get to the bottom of this.

"... I don't think they are aliens, I think they're 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, as otherworldly, to describe it as aliens...

“When I hear about extra natural phenomenon, that's where I go to is the Christian understanding that there's a lot of good out there, but there's also some evil out there. I think that one of the devil's great tricks is to convince people he never existed.”

In February, President Donald Trump announced that he would release the government files on aliens and UFOs.

While speculation over extra-terrestrial activity has always been fascinating, interest in the matter ramped up when Barack Obama appeared on Brian Tyler Cohen's podcast, declaring that aliens are real.

“But I haven't seen them, and they're not being kept in Area 51. There's no underground facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States," he said.

Trump later condemned Obama over the comment, saying: "He's not supposed to be doing that. He made a big mistake."

In a post on Truth Social shared in February, Trump said: "Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"

In a post on X on 23 February, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said that these documents will 'soon' be declassified... but we still haven't seen anything yet.

Here's to hoping there's some answers soon.
