Last night, UFO advocate Lue Elizondo appeared on Donald Trump, Jr.’s Triggered podcast as part of his book tour promoting his memoir Imminent. His choice of venue was quite shocking considering this is an election year and Elizondo appeared on a podcast hosted by the son of a major party candidate who is himself a far-right political figure. During the interview, Elizondo praised Donald Trump, Sr. and suggested that a second Trump presidency would benefit UFO “disclosure.”

It’s been a busy week so far. At a rally in Eau Claire, Wisc., Republican vice-presidential nominee Sen. J. D. Vance injected UFOs into the presidential campaign and inadvertently punctured the claim that Congress is deeply informed and concerned about extraterrestrial incursions. After incorrectly summarizing the past seven years of UFO interest as a “story from a couple years ago that, like, the Defense Department had declassified the UFO stuff,” Vance added, “I don’t talk about that because I don’t know what’s going on. […] So, to all the journalists there: If you do know anything about the UFO story, please tell us because we’re very, very fascinated by it.” Vance, a sitting senator, admits to knowing nothing and not even being informed enough to know what he doesn’t know, giving the lie to claims that UFO terror has gripped anything but a very small minority of legislators.
