Disambiguation: John Edgar Hoover (1895–1972), legendary FBI director. NOT to be confused with Herbert Hoover (31st U.S. President, 1874–1964) or other Hoovers.
John Edgar Hoover (1895–1972) was the fifth and final Director of the Bureau of Investigation (BOI) and first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), serving an unprecedented 48 years from 1924 until his death in 1972 under eight U.S. presidents. He modernized American law enforcement through centralized fingerprint databases, forensic laboratories, and professional personnel standards. In the context of the UAP/UFO archive, Hoover's FBI office received numerous communications regarding flying disc sightings and UAP incidents between 1947 and 1968, including the famous 1966 memo describing humanoid figures disembarking from a landed craft. Hoover's legacy remains controversial due to documented abuses of power, including illegal surveillance, wiretapping, and the suppression of civil rights leaders.

No contexto do arquivo UAP/UFO, o escritório do FBI de Hoover recebeu numerosas comunicações sobre avistamentos de discos voadores e incidentes de UAP entre 1947 e 1968, incluindo o famoso memorando de 1966 descrevendo figuras humanoides desembarcando de uma nave pousada.
