The U.S. Vice President Says UFOs Are Demons — and He Has Top-Secret Clearance to Find Out

In a landmark moment for public discourse on the paranormal, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance made headlines during a podcast interview with Benny Johnson, revealing he has top-secret clearance but has not yet read any of the classified UFO files—despite being deeply curious. He stunned listeners by stating his working theory: the phenomena are not extraterrestrial, but demonic in origin, rooted in his Catholic faith and a belief that evil operates through deception. This claim sparked national debate, especially after former President Barack Obama’s own podcast appearance, where he initially said aliens were real but later clarified he meant only that life likely exists elsewhere, not that Earth had been visited. The episode also details the mysterious registration of two new federal domains—Alien.gov and Aliens.gov—during a federal funding pause, fueling speculation about government intentions. Meanwhile, President Trump issued a directive to declassify UFO records, and Congress has already laid the legal groundwork with the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act. Despite growing public interest—evidenced by a 16% prediction market bet on alien confirmation before 2027—no official websites exist yet, leaving the truth of the matter still in the dark.
