Vice President JD Vance said he remains open to the possibility that unexplained phenomena could involve extraterrestrials, angels or demons, while emphasizing that his access to classified information has provided him no evidence proving any of those explanations.

Vice President JD Vance said he has encountered no classified evidence establishing that unidentified phenomena have extraterrestrial or spiritual origins, but he remains open to the possibility that unexplained encounters could involve aliens, angels or demons.

Vance discussed the subject during an appearance on the Bryce Crawford Podcast, where the conversation turned to whether his access to classified information as vice president had changed his views about the existence of a spiritual realm.

“So you have access to more information and things than the average bear, I mean you have top secret access. Has anything that you’ve learned from this job convinced you that the spiritual world is real since getting that access?” Crawford asked.

“So, you know, like I haven’t seen anything that says, ‘Okay, there’s a clear spiritual dimension to this particular problem,’ you know?” Vance responded.

Vance stressed that he had not encountered a government document identifying purported UFO or unidentified anomalous phenomena as spiritual entities.

“Like I don’t have the file that says, ‘Oh, this wasn’t a UFO, it was actually a demon,’ which… it’s always something like, I actually like, I have this strong view… I actually kind of got into an argument with Joe Rogan about this, who I like a lot by the way, but Joe thinks they’re extraterrestrials and I’m sure a lot of people think it’s all fake.”

Vance said his disagreement with podcast host and comedian Joe Rogan centered on the assumption that, if unexplained entities or phenomena are real, extraterrestrial life is necessarily the most likely explanation.

“And my attitude is if they are real, isn’t it as likely they’re angels, or demons as they are extraterrestrials? But like I don’t have like a top secret file that sort of proves that one way or the other.”

His comments were circulated in an X post.

Vance’s distinction was significant: he was not claiming that the federal government possesses evidence identifying unexplained objects or encounters as supernatural beings. Instead, he was offering his personal view about the possible explanations that should remain open if such phenomena ultimately prove genuine.

The discussion comes amid continued public interest in unidentified anomalous phenomena, commonly known as UAPs and historically referred to as UFOs.

The federal government has released numerous UAP-related files in recent months documenting unexplained observations and anomalies. Such records establish that certain incidents have remained unidentified or insufficiently explained, but that classification does not by itself establish that they involve extraterrestrial spacecraft or supernatural entities.

Vance said nothing he has seen through his government access has resolved that question.

His remarks instead placed extraterrestrial and spiritual explanations alongside the possibility that purported phenomena may have more conventional explanations or, as he noted, that some people believe the entire subject is unfounded.

For Vance, the unresolved nature of the evidence leaves open a broader question: if some unexplained phenomena eventually prove to involve nonhuman entities, he sees no reason to automatically assume they originated on another planet rather than considering spiritual explanations as well.
