Vice President JD Vance just shared his thoughts on whether or not aliens exist, telling conservative podcaster Benny Johnson he had a more spiritual take on what’s going on when it comes to UFOs.

During an interview posted Saturday, the “Hillbilly Elegy” author said he was “more curious than anybody” about government research into the possibility of life on other planets, but added, “I don’t think they’re aliens. I think they’re demons anyway, but that’s a longer discussion.”

Johnson couldn’t let Vance leave it at that.

After being pressed to share more, the vice president said, “Well, look, I think that celestial beings who fly around, who do weird things to people. I think that the desire to describe everything celestial, everything is 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,” said Vance, who grew up an atheist and converted to Catholicism as an adult.

The former Ohio senator told Johnson he thinks his faith offers an answer for what’s going on when it comes to the supernatural.

“I naturally go ― when I hear about, sort of, extra natural phenomenon, that’s where I go to ― to the Christian understanding that there’s a lot of good out there, but there’s also some evil out there. And I think that one of the devil’s great tricks is to convince people he never existed.”

The world soon may have some answers.

Last month on Truth Social, President Donald Trump announced plans to release “government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs).”

Vance and Trump aren’t the only ones in the White House who want to find out if the truth is out there.

During an appearance on the New York Post’s “Pod Force One” last October, the VP said Secretary of State Marco Rubio is also fascinated by the topic.

“We talked about this a little. We talked about this back in our Senate days,” Vance revealed, later adding how “all of us put the tinfoil hat on from time to time.”
