Prediction markets give a 16% probability to: will the us confirm that aliens exist before 2027? — I think they’re demons anyway, but that’s a long discussion,” Vance told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson.
Political figures are making increasingly stark claims about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), fueling public discourse on government transparency. In late March, Vice President JD Vance stated he believes UAPs could be "demons" and vowed to "get to the bottom of it" during his remaining time in office, echoing recent comments from former President Barack Obama about the reality of the phenomenon.

Simultaneously, members of Congress privy to classified briefings are hinting at unsettling information being withheld from the public. Representative Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) asserted that if Americans knew what he has been briefed on regarding extraterrestrial life, they would be "up at night worrying" and that the country would have "come unglued." These remarks underscore ongoing tensions between legislative oversight and executive branch secrecy on the issue. [Nypost, Apr 03]
This heightened rhetoric contrasts with official government findings, such as the 2023 Pentagon report that reviewed 144 sightings and found no extraterrestrial evidence, instead calling for new scientific methods. The divergence between sensational political claims and dry official assessments sets the stage for continued pressure for disclosure, with key political figures signaling a push for answers ahead of the 2027 timeframe.

Most YES wallets entered between 12c and 22c over the past 3 weeks. They’re sitting on 2–3x unrealized gains and none have started selling — creating a price floor around 20c. Meanwhile, NO wallets entered at 60–70c and 56% are now underwater as price drifted down to 62c.
78% of YES positions are in profit — most YES buyers entered early and are sitting on gains without selling, indicating conviction. Only 44% of NO positions are profitable — the majority bought high and are now underwater. This disparity strongly favors YES.
