Vice President JD Vance stated that he believes unidentified flying objects (UFOs) commonly interpreted as alien spacecraft are in fact demons, reflecting his Catholic perspective. Speaking in a recent interview, Vance said he was initially “obsessed” with UFO files after taking office but has been occupied with other priorities. He pledged to “get to the bottom” of the phenomenon.
When asked about releasing government UFO documents, Vance confirmed efforts are underway but did not provide a timeline. He explained that descriptions of celestial and supernatural phenomena throughout history, including those within Christianity—the religion he follows—suggest a spiritual, rather than extraterrestrial, origin. Vance remarked, “I don’t think they’re aliens. I think they’re demons anyway.”
Elaborating, he noted that many world religions recognize the existence of unexplainable and potentially malevolent forces in the sky. He added, “I naturally go… to the Christian understanding that there’s a lot of good out there, but there’s also some evil out there.” Vance also referenced the idea that “the devil’s great tricks” include convincing people he does not exist.
This perspective comes amid growing public interest in UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena, leading to recent directives by President Donald Trump to declassify and release government records related to these topics. In February, Trump announced plans to involve multiple agencies in processing files connected to alien and UFO investigations, emphasizing their importance and complexity.
Why it matters
Vance’s comments reflect an intertwining of religious interpretation and government transparency on UFO phenomena, a topic that has gained increasing attention within both political and public spheres. The vice president’s approach may influence how the administration handles forthcoming UFO disclosures and shape narratives around unexplained aerial events.
Background
Interest in UFOs has surged in recent years, spurred by military sightings and reports from intelligence agencies. The U.S. government has begun releasing information to the public, attempting to clarify the nature of unidentified aerial phenomena. Vance’s remarks diverge from secular or scientific explanations, framing the issue through a theological lens aligned with his Catholic faith.
