Enrichment (EN)

Disambiguation: THE BUREAU refers to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), commonly referred to informally as 'the Bureau' by law enforcement and intelligence personnel. In the context of this UAP archive, it refers to the FBI's historical and ongoing involvement in UAP/UFO investigations, NOT to any other bureau or classified organization.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the domestic intelligence and security service of the United States and the principal federal law enforcement agency under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice. Founded as the Bureau of Investigation in 1908 and renamed the FBI in 1935, the agency has been involved in UFO/UAP investigations since 1947. The FBI investigated numerous UFO reports from 1947–1954 in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force, maintaining an extensive archive of these reports. The FBI continues to participate in current UAP disclosure efforts, including the Department of War's Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE), which released 162 declassified UAP-related files beginning in May 2026.
