The FBI Confirms It Has a Secretive ?UAP Working Group,? but Agents Now Worry Their Jobs Could Be in Jeopardy

A small group of agents within the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) following up on reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) are now facing a more immediate concern: job uncertainty.

The existence of the FBI’s UAP Working Group was revealed on Monday amid worries over a potential purge under the new administration that may target federal officials who worked on cases that were related to the January 6 United States Capitol attack in 2021.

The claims, first reported by Politico, were backed by multiple sources familiar with the matter, some of whom spoke on background.

Specifically, a 12-question survey recently issued by Justice Department leadership to thousands of FBI agents and other employees asks individuals to detail their participation in investigations related to the Jan. 2021 attack.
