JD Vance calls himself 'UFO enthusiast', promises to probe alien files

The United States Vice President JD Vance has declared himself to be a UFO enthusiast and promised to get to the bottom of the existence of alien life.

This isn’t the first time that Vance has expressed interest in extraterrestrial life. In an appearance on Ruthless Podcast three months ago, he said, “I am obsessed with the whole UFO thing.”

In an interview with the Pod Force One podcast, released on Wednesday, Vance said that he was committed to go through the government files about life from other planets, what the military now refers to as unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAPs).

Previously, the vice president planned to use his August recess from Congress to dive deep into the topic but now changed the timeline a bit, saying, “It's a time taking process. So, I plan to get to the bottom of this in the next three years.”

He also revealed that United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard were also “very interested” in this topic and want answers.

Vance added that he firmly believes in divine presence and some extraordinary phenomena that humans can’t explain. 

He also suggested that there might be spiritual forces interacting with the physical world that humans had mistaken for alien encounters.
