Overview
- Vance, who spoke Friday on The Benny Show, said he believes UFOs are “demons” and promised to use his top-level clearance over the next three years to “get to the bottom” of government files.
- He told host Benny Johnson he is “obsessed” with the topic, said planned trips to Area 51 and New Mexico fell through, and confirmed he has not yet reviewed the files.
- Asked about releasing documents, he said the administration is “working on it” as President Trump in February directed agencies to identify and begin releasing records on aliens, UAPs and UFOs.
- No broad declassification has followed the March registration of Aliens.gov, and a March 2024 Pentagon report said there is no proof UAPs are alien technology.
- News outlets highlighted his faith-based framing and reported bemused reactions on social media, and analysts continue to cite mundane explanations or unresolved cases rather than confirmed alien craft.
