Overview
- Vance, in a Friday interview on The Benny Show with Benny Johnson, said he is obsessed with UFO files and pledged to get to the bottom of them during his remaining time in office.
- He said he has top-level clearance and described scrapped plans to visit sites such as Area 51 and New Mexico to review material that could clarify unexplained sightings.
- Pressed on public release, Vance said the administration is working on it, offering no dates as the White House continues an effort to identify records for declassification.
- He framed unexplained aerial reports through a Christian lens, saying he does not think they are aliens and calling them demons while warning that evil can be hard to recognize.
- The push follows Trump’s February order to find and release UFO-related files and the registration of Aliens.gov, even as a March 2024 Pentagon report found no proof of alien technology and tied many sightings to balloons, aircraft, satellites, or weather.
