Vice President JD Vance has joined the list of high-ranking government officials wanting answers about UFOs and extraterrestrials.
In an interview released Wednesday, the vice president doubled down on his promise to 'get to the bottom of' the existence of alien life.
Vance happily declared himself a 'UFO lunatic' and was committed to taking some time during his term in office to examine the evidence he has access to regarding life from other planets.
His comments came nearly three months after he told the hosts of the Ruthless Podcast that he was 'obsessed with the whole UFO thing.'
At the time, Vance said he planned to use the time off during the August recess in Congress to do a 'deep dive' into the government's files on what the military now calls unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAPs).
However, the vice president has amended his timeline for getting to the bottom of the alien mystery, telling Miranda Devine that it's going to take some time, but he intends to learn if UFOs are real before the next election.
'This is the crazy person inside of me. All of us put the tinfoil hat on from time to time. I can't allow myself to become so busy that I spend the next three years and I don't get to the bottom of this,' Vance said.
The vice president added that he wasn't the only member of the Trump Administration seeking answers about UFOs, noting that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard want to know as well.

'Marco's actually very interested in this, too. We talked about this a little. We talked about this back in our Senate days. So, yeah, there's certainly an interest there,' Vance said during the Pod Force One podcast.
However, the vice president added that what he might view as an angel or demon might be interpreted as an extraterrestrial by others.
Vance said he firmly believed that there were phenomena that humans simply can't explain, but was more open to other possibilities, such as a divine presence.
The vice president, who was raised an evangelical Christian and converted to Catholicism in 2019, explained that he believed in spiritual forces working in the physical world, which could be mistaken for alien encounters.
'Is it aliens or is it our guardian angel, or is it aliens or is it a not-so-guardian force that doesn't care about us, or in fact actively wishes us harm? I don't know the answer to that question,' Vance admitted.
Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has echoed some of the vice president's beliefs, tying biblical events to more recent reports of extraterrestrial sightings.
Luna, who serves as the chairwoman for the House Oversight Committee on UFO disclosure, said that many witnesses have described what they saw as 'interdimensional' beings that had similarities to angels in the Bible.
'Then you look into texts that were removed from the Bible, like the book of Enoch, that actually specifically address technologies that were given to mankind or of entities not of human origin,' Luna said on the PBD podcast last week.

In August, Gabbard declared on Pod Force One that she did believe in the existence of both UFOs and extraterrestrials, but noted that her role in the intelligence community prevented her from saying anything else.
'We're continuing to look for the truth, uh, and share that truth with the American people,' the intelligence chief said.
However, Gabbard did add that she still had questions regarding the mysterious UFO swarms that invaded the US East Coast in 2024 and was not convinced they were harmless drones.
Despite the growing belief in extraterrestrial life, no verifiable physical evidence, such as artifacts or clear footage of these craft, has been publicly presented to confirm the existence of aliens.
Skeptics have argued that the reliance on anecdotal reports from military personnel and civilians and the lack of peer-reviewed scientific data cast significant doubt on the claims made during recent congressional hearings on UAPs.
However, a new documentary featuring both Luna and Rubio is set to be released in late November, which alleges that the US government has withheld information regarding UFOs and extraterrestrials from both the public and the White House.
'Even presidents have been operating on a need-to-know basis, but that begins to ramp out of control,' Rubio claimed in the film The Age of Disclosure.
