J.D. Vance called UFOs "demons," causing widespread backlash in the U.S

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance made a high-profile statement claiming that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) are not alien but demonic in origin. The speech, which came amid Donald Trump’s promises to disclose secret government archives, provoked a major debate in American society and beyond, bringing together issues of politics, science, and religion.

As reported by the publication Vima Orthodoxias, Vance’s position draws on a Christian interpretation of anomalous phenomena. In his view, what many take for visits from extraterrestrial civilizations are actually manifestations of spiritual forces. This view coincides with the theological analysis of Hieromonk Seraphim Rose, who previously classified the UFO phenomenon as a “spiritual seduction” aimed at disorienting humanity.

The discussion of this topic comes amidst a growing interest in unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), as previously reported by Reuters on several occasions. While NASA continues its scientific search for extraterrestrial life, with no conclusive evidence of its existence to date, politicians are increasingly turning to metaphysical interpretations of what is going on.

Analysts interviewed by the source also point to the geopolitical aspect of the actualization of the topic of “aliens”. There is an opinion that such discussions can be used as a tool to divert public attention from acute world crises and conflicts in the Middle East. Ultimately, Vance’s statement raises profound questions about the boundary between science and faith, as well as how modern media shape the perception of reality in an era of global uncertainty.

Recall, earlier US President Donald Trump expressed his intention to initiate the process of declassifying government documents related to alien life, unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and unidentified aerial phenomena. This decision came amid growing public interest in the topic of extraterrestrial civilizations and after a number of official disclosures of information about unusual phenomena.
