FBI UFO Investigators Fear Job Losses in Trump-Ordered Purge

Agents tracking unidentified aerial phenomena worry their work may be derailed as Trump administration targets officials tied to January 6 cases.

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.
