The truth is not out there: Agents who probe UFOs worry they'll be pushed out in Trump's FBI purge Some FBI agents who are part of the team investigating UFOs are concerned as they also worked on Jan 6 cases.
The FBI would not comment on reports of the possible firings in a statement to Politico but added: “The FBI investigates Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena when there is potential for a violation of federal law — particularly unlawful acts that could adversely affect our national interests — and to gather, share, and analyze intelligence to combat security threats facing the U.S.”.
“I am concerned that the FBI’s UAP Working Group could be affected by transition changes, and these leaders might not be aware of the incredible work these agents are doing and how their investigation could be empowered as part of a formalized intergovernmental effort.”.
The fears of the alien investigation team were confirmed by former Navy pilot Ryan Graves, executive director of the nonprofit Americans for Safe Aerospace, who also revealed the existence of an FBI informal working group dedicated to tracking down the unidentified objects.
