Vice President JD Vance weighed in on the mystery of UFOs this week, suggesting that some unexplained phenomena could reflect "spiritual forces" influencing the physical world.
Speaking with New York Post columnist Miranda Devine on her podcast "Pod Force One," Vance said he hasn’t had time to fully investigate but intends to dig in.
"I can’t allow myself to become so busy that I don’t get to the bottom of this. I will get to the bottom of this," Vance said.
The vice president said the topic often came up in conversations with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, noting that both men have long shared an interest in unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs).
"Marco’s actually very interested in this, too," Vance said. "We talked about this back in our Senate days. There’s certainly an interest there, but I haven’t yet had the time to really dig in. Things have been so busy. But all of us put the tinfoil hat on from time to time."
When Devine mentioned that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard had also expressed openness to the possibility of alien life, Vance framed his own view through faith and mystery.

UFO/UAP ping
I just can’t take UFO/UAP hunting seriously. Wasting time and causing a distraction.
But you just wasted time posting a comment about it.
That's says that you care—despite your "not taking it seriously.";-)
[ “spiritual forces” ]
Ephesians 6:12
King James Version
12 For we wrestle not against Flesh and Blood,
but against Principalities, against Powers,
against the Rulers of the Darkness of this World,
against Spiritual Wickedness in High Places.

Vance, Rubio, and Tulsi think there's something to this. And they base their opinions on what's been presented in closed Congressional hearings.
Long-running gov psyop. If there is alien danger, the world will just have to unite—and voila, the new one-world order!
There's a huge amount of anecdotal evidence of something. No one seems to have a solid grasp on what it is, not even Vance or Rubio, but the reports don't mention "benevolent."
It's not a good idea for the President to hold a presser and just announce, "There's something here from somewhere unknown—another dimension or another world. We don't know what it is, but I just wanted to tell you that we're being invaded and there's nothing we can do about it. So don't freak out. We don't know if they want to eat us or steal our souls or both, but just remain calm and shelter in place."
"And whatever you do, don't sell your stocks and cause market panic."
I’m not concerned about an alien invasion..Trump will deport them back to whatever galaxy they came from.
In March 2021, on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, Ratcliffe stated: “There are a lot more sightings than have been made public… objects seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or picked up by satellite imagery… that engage in actions that are difficult to explain… traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom.”Tulsi Gabbard (Director of National Intelligence) From The Daily Beast (last week):He also remarked that: “UFOs display technology the U.S. doesn’t have and can’t defend against.”
Gabbard ‘hinted’ at extraterrestrial life, saying her office would share information “when the time comes.” Similarly reported in The Sun: She stated she believes in aliens and UFOs, and “vows to eventually ‘share the truth’ with the American public.”Anna Paulina Luna (Rep. and chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, under the House Oversight Committee):
According to People.com (today): Luna recounted an Air Force base incident where a UAP entered restricted airspace and shook pilots. She said she believes some phenomena may be "interdimensional beings," and stressed the stigma military personnel face when reporting UAPs.>[? New York Post (yesterday) reports: She said credible reports point to technology "that defies known physics, possibly outside human creation."President Trump:
In an October 2024 interview with Joe Rogan, Trump said: "There is a lot of interest in the people coming from space, you know." "I have to be honest, I have never been a believer … [But] I interviewed jet pilots that were solid people... they said we saw things sir that were very strange... going four times faster than an F‑22."Per ABC News (June 2025): “It's never been my thing. I have to be honest," he told Joe Rogan. "I have never been a believer.” But he also hinted at holding knowledge: “I won't talk to you about what I know about it but it's very interesting… Roswell's a very interesting place with a lot of people that would like to know what's going on.” From a UK media report (July 2025): Trump “said he would push the Pentagon to declassify the alleged UFO sighting videos… I have to do that.” He also admitted “there could be life on other planets.”
Dating back to Biblical times...
E.T wants to phone home.
Michael Heiser was mentioning this 10-15 years ago. I asked a very studied pastor from Newfoundland about alien abductions 20 years ago and he immediately stated “manifestations of satan” so... this is not “news” as for technological sightings... it might be sensationalized misdirection to cover up actual advances in engineering.
It is interesting, that is for certain.
If they are here and they hostile, why aren't we dead yet?
Any race that possesses the technology that is at the level that the Alien invader seems to possess could easily wipe out our race with little effort.
I always thought that the idea of an advanced race making slaves of humans silly.
Slaves are only useful in the absence of technology.
Once one possesses advanced technology keeping slaves is no more than a prideful act.
I think how seriously you take the subject depends greatly on what your view of our purpose for being here is, and how important you think the mundane daily matters of Earthly life are versus the potentially far more important matter of what exists beyond the reach of our five senses (or whether you believe anything exists beyond the material world). Even though we know that well over 90% of reported “UFO” (or “UAP”) reports are related to misidentifications of human-built aircraft or natural phenomena, the remainder that are unexplainable merit serious consideration. If you become familiar with the totality of the evidence for these more serious reports, it becomes crystal clear that there is some kind of non-human intelligence behind them. There’s zero question of that, which is why you’re seeing the high-level attention to this issue in government now.
And given that, the answers to questions about what these objects are and who or what is behind them are of infinitely greater importance in the big picture of life than everyday squabbles over typical political issues (though those are certainly important). My personal opinion is that JD is on the right track. I don’t believe that we’re dealing with aliens from another planet here, but instead spiritual or otherwise extra dimensional beings.
The famous astronomer and eventual UFO investigator, J. Allen Hynek, wrote that after years of serious systematic analysis of the UFO phenomenon he became convinced that we are dealing not with “nuts and bolts” alien craft, but something that acts more like spiritual phenomena such as ghosts or spirits. It interacts with our world vey much physically at times, but also shares many characteristics with reports of paranormal phenomena.
It has been suggested that they (whatever they are, even "if" they are) are interested in harvesting human souls.
I think this is where Vance gets the "demon" idea.
