Enrichment (EN)

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the domestic law enforcement and intelligence agency of the United States, established July 26, 1908, as the Bureau of Investigation (BOI) under Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte. Initially created as a response to political conflict between the Roosevelt administration and Congress over investigative authority, the agency grew from 34 agents to become a major federal investigative force, officially renamed the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1935. As an agency of the Department of Justice and member of the U.S. Intelligence Community, the FBI has twin responsibilities in counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and federal criminal investigations across 200+ jurisdictions, employing approximately 38,000 personnel across 56 domestic field offices and international locations. Historically, the FBI collected hundreds of UFO/UAP incident reports from 1947 through 1968 and maintained files on high-profile cases including the Roswell incident, cooperating with the U.S. Air Force on unidentified object investigations during the early Cold War.

O Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) é a agência federal de aplicação da lei e inteligência doméstica dos Estados Unidos, estabelecida em 26 de julho de 1908, como o Bureau of Investigation (BOI) sob o Procurador-Geral Charles J. Bonaparte. Inicialmente criada como resposta ao conflito político entre a administração Roosevelt e o Congresso sobre autoridade investigativa, a agência cresceu de 34 agentes para se tornar uma força investigativa federal importante, oficialmente renomeada para Federal Bureau of Investigation em 1935. Como agência do Departamento de Justiça e membro da Comunidade de Inteligência dos EUA, o FBI tem responsabilidades gêmeas em contraterrorismo, contraespionagem e investigações criminais federais em mais de 200 jurisdições, empregando aproximadamente 38 mil funcionários em 56 escritórios de campo domésticos e localizações internacionais. Historicamente, o FBI coletou centenas de relatórios de incidentes UFO/UAP de 1947 até 1968 e manteve arquivos sobre casos de alto perfil, incluindo o incidente de Roswell, cooperando com a Força Aérea dos EUA em investigações de objetos não identificados durante a Guerra Fria inicial.
