JD Vance says he's 'obsessed' with mysterious UFO videos

() Vice President JD Vance is “obsessed with the whole UFO thing,” he said on a podcast episode released Friday.

“What’s actually going on? What were those videos all about? What’s actually happening?” Vance said on the “Ruthless Podcast.” “I haven’t gotten to the bottom of it yet, but we’re only six months in.”

Though Vance was not specific about which “videos” interested him most, there was plenty to see in the skies and the headlines last year.

In November, the House Oversight Committee held a hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena that was intended to find out the extent of Pentagon programs investigating UAPs and any information recovered by them.

Witnesses testified about their experiences working with or in the alleged programs, including Pentagon insider Luis Elizondo.

“Let me be clear: UAP are real,” Elizondo testified. “Advanced technologies not made by our government, or any other government, are monitoring sensitive military installations around the globe.”

Other phenomena included mysterious drones that were spotted across a majority of the continental United States in November and December 2024, with a majority cropping up in New Jersey’s airspace.

The sightings prompted a federal probe, which ultimately determined that the drones weren’t a national security threat nor the work of an “adversary,” Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh said in December.

On the first day of his second term, Trump promised to release a report on the unexplained drones spotted over the Northeast. A week later, the White House said the drones were “not a threat” and were approved by the FAA for research.

Some, including Vance, are still searching for answers about unidentified flying objects.

He joked on the podcast that he would spend Congress’ August recess “trying to dive to the bottom of the whole UFO thing from last year.”
