Vice President JD Vance isn’t afraid to mix spiritual insight with national security concerns when it comes to unidentified aerial phenomena.

During a recent interview on the “Pod Force One” podcast hosted by Miranda Devine, Vance said he remains committed to investigating UFOs and UAPs, offering a faith-informed take on the unexplained while promising to ensure transparency on the issue, as Fox News reports.

Vance admitted he hasn’t yet had the time to dive deeply into the subject, but made it clear he intends to, calling it a growing area of intrigue within the administration.

Vice President Links UAPs to Possible Spiritual Activity

The vice president’s remarks came amid increasing bipartisan curiosity in Washington over the nature of aerial encounters and the government’s willingness to disclose what it knows. According to Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio—his “best friend” in the administration—shares his long-standing interest.

“There’s certainly an interest there,” Vance said of Rubio. “But I haven’t yet had the time to really dig in. Things have been so busy. But all of us put the tinfoil hat on from time to time.”

He noted that while he has not drawn any firm conclusions, his views lean toward the metaphysical. “Spiritual forces are working on the physical world that a lot of us don’t see and don’t understand,” Vance said, striking a tone rarely heard from politicians addressing national defense.

Faith Over Fear in the Face of the Unknown

Instead of viewing strange sightings as threats from hostile extraterrestrials, Vance suggests a broader lens—one that sees UFOs as potential signs of spiritual activity. “If another person sees an alien, maybe I see an angel or a demon,” he said.

He emphasized that people shouldn’t rush to fear or obsession. “What I try to do is say my prayers, be a good person, and do a good job. Hopefully that’s all I need to do,” he added.

This perspective comes as more lawmakers express suspicion toward intelligence and defense agencies, possibly withholding key information about UAPs.

Growing Scrutiny From Congress Brings Transparency Demands

Members of both parties have been leaning in, with Florida Rep. Jared Moskowitz accusing the federal government of burying evidence and supporting the efforts of military whistleblowers.

“I don’t really know what is true. But I do know when we’re being lied to,” Moskowitz said, illustrating the bipartisan frustration over the issue.

Missouri Rep. Eric Burlison even presented new video footage in a recent House hearing, showing a U.S. drone appearing to strike a fast-moving orb with a missile—only for the object to seemingly survive.

Lawmakers Demand Stronger Protections and Declassification

The House’s bipartisan panel on the matter, led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, is now pushing for stronger protections for whistleblowers and advocating for more declassification of what officials know.

Meanwhile, Vance made it clear he's not letting the topic slip through the cracks. “I will get to the bottom of this,” he said on the podcast. “I can’t allow myself to become so busy that I don’t get to the bottom of this.”

The vice president has previously discussed UAPs on other media platforms, including the “Ruthless” podcast, acknowledging that questions remain after six months in office. “What were those videos all about? What’s actually happening?” he asked, still seeking answers.

Vance Shrugs Off Presidential Speculation

Although his profile has risen due to his candid and thoughtful commentary, Vance brushed off speculation about a future presidential run.

When asked about the possibility of seeking higher office with Rubio, he called such talk “premature,” sticking to his mantra of doing the job at hand.

“I never wake up and think, ‘How do I make myself president of the United States?’” Vance stated. “What I wake up and think is, ‘How do I do a good job as vice president?’”
