In a striking moment, Vice President JD Vance revealed in a sit-down interview with Benny Johnson that he believes the mysterious UFO phenomenon may have a far more sinister origin.
“Are you ever going to release all the UFO files?” Johnson asked Vance.
“We’re working on it,” Vance stated. “When I came in, I was obsessed with the UFO Files, and then you start getting really busy worrying about the economy and national security and things like that…I will get to the bottom of the UFO Files.”
Telling Johnson that he hasn’t spent enough time on it to fully understand it, he notes how he plans to visit Area 51 at some point and get to the bottom of the files. Then, he said something incredibly profound.

“I don’t think they’re aliens. I think they’re demons, anyway, but that’s a long discussion,” Vance said.
He then continued, stating, ““I think that celestial beings who fly around to do weird things to people. I think that the desire to describe everything celestial, as otherworldly, to describe it as aliens, I mean every great world religion including Christianity, the one that I believe in, has understood that there are weird things out there. And there are things that are very difficult to explain.”
Vance also recognized that Satan is the one who tries to lead people down the route of deception, including in these unique ways.
“When I hear about 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,” Vance stated.
What makes this moment so sobering is not simply the mystery of unidentified phenomena—but the growing willingness to explain away the supernatural in terms that remove God while still embracing the unknown. Scripture warns that in the last days, deception will not come in obvious darkness alone, but in signs, wonders and persuasive narratives that lead many astray (2 Thess. 2:9-11). The enemy has always sought to distort reality, and redefining demonic activity as extraterrestrial could be one of the most effective deceptions of our time.
As the world leans further into fascination with the unknown, believers are called to anchor themselves in the Word, test every spirit and remain steadfast. In an hour where deception may increase, the call is clear: stay awake, stay grounded and do not be led astray.
