Disambiguation: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) — NOT to be confused with other national law enforcement agencies or foreign bureaus. Refers specifically to the U.S. federal intelligence and law enforcement agency under the Department of Justice.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the domestic intelligence and federal law enforcement agency of the United States, established July 26, 1908, under Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte as a 34-person investigative force within the Department of Justice. Originally named the Bureau of Investigation (1909), it received its present name—Federal Bureau of Investigation—by Congressional designation in 1935. The FBI's dual mission is to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution through enforcement of federal law and protection of national security. In the context of UAP/UFO investigations, the FBI played a secondary but documented role from 1947 onward, receiving reports on unexplained aerial phenomena sightings and coordinating with the U.S. Air Force during the 1947–1954 period. The agency maintains the FBI Vault, a public repository of declassified materials including UFO-related documents such as the 1950 Guy Hottel memo, and participated in the 2026 disclosure of UAP files through the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE).
