    According to several US government whistleblowers this is actually a common sentiment within the Pentagon.

    Most UFO/UAP reports can be dismissed via conventional explanations. But about 5% can’t be. And for those, a number of influential government insiders are adamant that they are literally demonic. Not that they might be extraterrestrial, extra-dimensional, or whatever other explanation. No, they believe they are literally Satanic demons from Hell. Presumably flying around in Satanic vehicles. Not surprisingly, most of the people holding onto this idea are staunch evangelical Christians.

    This theory seems to have taken root with the idea that some US scientists in the 1930s or '40s opened a portal (or portals) to hell. Possible deliberately, or possibly by accident. And since then a steady stream of entities have come through to do work for Satan.

    It doesn’t surprise me that a bumbling dipstick like Vance believes this.

    We truly live in the weirdest, most stupid timeline.

      Vance is utterly cynical. It’s not clear to me that he believes in anything but the self-promotion of Vance.

        Yeah, he seems like he’s sold his soul to the very Republican political machine. He “believes” whatever Republican inertia points toward.

      Honestly, someone like JD Vance believes what it is convenient for him to believe, and right now it is convenient for him to believe the same sort of drivel that the base dumb enough to build their authoritarian regime around believes. I don’t think it was coincidence that soldiers were spouted biblical narratives preceding the latest Iran invasion, these are the sort of loyal reliable zealots whose lack of foundation in reality is actually an asset for them. They are the ones being promoted and getting the jobs at the root of their command chains.
