Vice President J.D. Vance discussed his ongoing interest in unidentified flying objects and government UFO files during an interview with Benny Johnson on March 27, 2026. Vance acknowledged that while his current responsibilities have delayed his personal investigation into the files, he remains committed to uncovering what he described as “the very tippy top of the classification.”
When asked whether the administration would release all UFO files, Vance said, “We’re working on it. It’s funny. 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. But I’m still — I’ve still got three more years as vice president. I will get to the bottom of the UFO files.” He added that he has not yet had the opportunity to thoroughly examine the documents or make trips to sites like Area 51, but emphasized his personal obsession with the topic and intention to follow through.

Vance addressed public speculation about the nature of these unexplained phenomena, stating, “I don’t think they’re — I don’t think they’re aliens. I think they’re demons anyway, but that’s a longer discussion.” He elaborated on his perspective when discussing comments by former President Barack Obama, who had confirmed the reality of unidentified aerial phenomena while dismissing popular theories about secret government storage locations.
According to Vance, the discussion about UFOs intersects with historical and religious interpretations of celestial phenomena. “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. And I — I naturally go when I hear about sort of extra natural phenomenon. That’s where I go to is the Christian understanding that, you know, 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 we never existed.”
Vance’s remarks come after an announcement by President Donald Trump in February 2026 outlining a plan to release government files related to extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena, and UFOs. Trump’s directive responded in part to Obama’s public statements about the existence of aliens, highlighting ongoing public interest in transparency on these matters and the administration’s focus on technological and national security considerations.

While Vance has yet to personally visit locations like Area 51 or fully review all classified files, he stressed his intention to do so during his remaining term. He told Johnson, “Trust me, anybody who’s curious about this, I’m more curious than anybody and I’ve got three years of the very tippy top of the classification. I’m gonna get to the bottom of it.” His comments reinforce the administration’s commitment to investigating UFOs while framing the issue in a broader context of national security, technological oversight, and religious interpretation.
