Take me to your leader!
Vice President JD Vance made it known that he is “obsessed” with and “particularly focused” on UFOs — announcing on a recent podcast that he will spend time in the next weeks looking into the subject matter.
“Like I’m obsessed with the whole UFO thing. ‘What’s actually going on?’ ‘What were those videos all about?’ ‘What’s actually happening?’” the veep stated in unprompted comments on the Ruthless Podcast episode released Friday.
“I haven’t gotten to the bottom of it yet but we’re only six months in, we’ve been very busy,” Vance said with a chuckle.
“The August recess is in part me gonna try to dive to the bottom of the whole UFO thing from last year.”
It is unclear whether the Ohio native was referring to the New Jersey drone phenomenon that began on Nov. 13 last year with sightings of unidentified aircraft reportedly the size of cars hovering over a Picatinny Arsenal.
The Trump administration cited the Federal Aviation Administration in a report earlier this year that stated the agency had no record of any anomalous sightings during the period of heightened public attention.
Ruthless Podcast cohost Michael Duncan then opened up about his own interest in the once-taboo subject matter.
“I’ve been to Roswell,” Duncan confessed. “I’ve done the tours. I’ve done the whole thing.”
“Did you see any aliens?” Vance asked.
“No. I saw the hangar where they were,” Duncan responded sincerely.
“Once I get to the bottom of it, if there’s anything there, I’ll make sure you’re the first to know,” Vance replied.
It is unclear the extent to which Vance was joking in the casual conversation.
Another member of the Trump administration, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, takes UFOs very seriously.
Then-senator Rubio claimed top US officials have “first-hand knowledge” of a secret Pentagon crash retrieval program back in a 2023 interview with NewsNation.
Rubio sat down for an interview for upcoming documentary “Age of Disclosure” which has been much ballyhooed by disclosure advocates.
The VP’s office did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
