Disambiguation: The FBI is the primary US federal law enforcement and intelligence agency; BOI (Bureau of Investigation) is its original name (1908–1935). Not to be confused with state-level law enforcement or international intelligence services.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the principal investigative and intelligence agency of the United States federal government, established on July 26, 1908, as the Bureau of Investigation under Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte. Originally renamed to FBI by Congress in 1935, it operates under the Department of Justice with a mission to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution, exercising jurisdiction over violations of more than 200 federal crime categories. The agency maintains approximately 38,000 employees across 56 field offices in the U.S. and over 60 international Legal Attaché offices. The FBI was involved in UFO/UAP investigations from 1947 to 1968, receiving numerous reports and maintaining comprehensive case files before largely ceding investigative primacy to the U.S. Air Force's Project Blue Book; declassified FBI UFO files containing eyewitness testimonies and public reports were released in May 2026 with fewer redactions.
