Vice President J.D. Vance stated in a recent interview that he does not believe UFOs are aliens from another planet, but rather demons. Speaking with podcaster and commentator Benny Johnson, Vance said, "I don’t think they’re aliens, I think they’re demons anyway, but that’s a long discussion." He elaborated that celestial beings doing "weird things to people" align more with religious understandings of good and evil forces rather than extraterrestrial visitors. Vance also expressed being "obsessed" with the topic and vowed to seek the truth about such phenomena, including a potential tour of Area 51. The comments have drawn attention amid ongoing public interest in UAP disclosure. This reporting is corroborated by multiple outlets including Yahoo News and Newsweek, which covered the interview in detail.
