Vice President JD Vance speculated that UFOs could actually be “demons” flying around Earth, contending that ancient civilizations believed they had encounters with such vile creatures.
“I don’t think they’re aliens. I think they’re demons anyway, but that’s a long discussion,” Vance told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson.
“I mean, every great world religion, including Christianity, the one I believe in, as understood, there are weird things out there,” he later added. “When I hear about [an] extra natural phenomenon, that’s where I go to: The Christian understanding that there’s a lot of good out there, but there’s also evil out there.
“I think that one of the devil’s great tricks is to convince people he never existed.”
Notably, right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson had conveyed similar beliefs about unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) being demons rather than aliens. Carlson also claimed to have been attacked in the middle of the night by a demon and left with claw marks while sleeping next to his wife and dog.
Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, underscored his obsession with UAPs and vowed to “get to the bottom of it.”
“When I came in, I was obsessed with the UFO files, and you start getting really busy worrying about the economy and national security, and things like that. But I’ve still got three years left as vice president,” Vance.

Thank you very much and God bless you,

Just you, Ken. You’re a Luddite.
But you have always been an idiot.
If you can't handle the truth, you'll be "put away."
‘ But you have always been an idiot.’
And will remain so until I draw my last breath.
That, I do not doubt. I wish you well though and God speed.
‘ That, I do not doubt. I wish you well though and God speed.’
Well thanks.
Embrace your idiocy too.
I wish this curse of wisdom on you. It is the most valuable lesson a human can receive.
An admirable goal.
Wrong approach.
He’s lost it. But what does one expect of bearded pit bull?
I joined in the fall of 1998. Yes, I’m THAT old LOL. But then I got banned in 2003 for not being pro-Bush enough (a LOT of Freepers in good standing got zotted for not toeing the party line). But I kept an eye on this site, for its news and entertainment value. Came back in 2016 because there was too much fun to be had being on Trump’s wagon.
What is the right approach?
‘ What is the right approach?’
Excellent question!
No clue.
Just that yours is not the one.
The search continues.
And what is my approach in your opinion?
For one,insulting anyone who has a disagreement with you
Two, claiming to be a devout Christian with principles while doing so.
I could go on, but there is no point.
But don't let that turn you away from Christ.
He accepts me for the jackass I am.
I try very hard not to be a jerk/jackass. But I fail all the time.
But Jesus still loves me despite of my abject failure.
And He loves you. More than you can imagine.
Ask him tonight when you go to bed. Ask him if he is real. Ask him to make contact with you.
He will.
dude.
cmon here.
I get your devotion but to me it’s delusion. And your feint humility is obnoxious.
What have you got to lose?
If there's no one there, no one will answer.
There are millions and millions of anecdotal accounts of people asking him to come into their lives.
Give him a chance.
I know for a fact that he is real.
Aren't you at least a little bit curious.
I am a jerk. But he isn't.
He loves you more than you can imagine. He loves me this way (which BTW, saved my life).
Try it. What have you got to lose?
It's about you and Jesus.
Just ask him to connect with you if he is real. If he isn't real, what have you got to lose.
If he is real, you have him to gain.
Just ask him.
Ask him to prove it. But be serious. Because he will prove it.
You aren’t thinking this a new thing I have never heard over the last 60 years are you?
What's interesting is that you have some claiming "demons" and others that aliens are "extraterrestials". Why can't both be right?
What can be confirmed is that there are reports across history of things that can't be explained: Columbus recorded a sighting in 1492, in Nuremberg they described an aerial battle in 1591, plus there are various religous texts and examples of religions and cultures knowing about things that really shouldn't have been known about.
So is it really an either/or, demon or extraterrestrial, or could it be both? History has lots of evidence pointing to there being something. The question is why is the truth of that something so consistently hidden across governments across the globe?
