Overview

• A secretive FBI group investigating unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) is concerned about potential job losses due to a Trump-led FBI purge.
• The group, which includes over a dozen agents, has been working on national security risks tied to UAPs, often involving witness accounts and classified intelligence.
• Some UAP investigators also worked on cases related to the January 6 Capitol attack, making them vulnerable to the administration's loyalty-driven firings.
• Former Navy pilot Ryan Graves, who collaborates with the FBI through his organization Americans for Safe Aerospace, has voiced concerns about the purge jeopardizing UAP investigations.
• The FBI has not commented on personnel matters but emphasized its role in investigating UAPs when there are potential threats to national security or federal law violations.
