To ensure an accurate portrayal of their visit, CCTV footage captures the FBI agents presenting their badges, interviewing Sokol, and employing a Geiger counter—a device designed to detect radiation. The lab displayed no harmful radiation levels, debunking any concerns regarding hazardous materials.
Sokol recounted the moment of their arrival: “They showed up on Friday right around noon. They flashed their badges, said ‘FBI,’ and asked if we had any enriched uranium. I laughed and told them no. One said that we’re not in trouble and he wanted to come back at some point and pick my brain about UAPs because he’s been tasked by the FBI, in investigating UAPs or UFOs.”
In a twist that seems lifted from the X-Files, it’s evident that while one agent may fit the description of a real-life Mulder. But his partner didn’t quite align with the intellect and skepticism of Gillian Anderson’s Dana Scully. Sokol described the junior agent as “fresh-faced and probably in his early 20s.”
The FBI’s involvement in the matter raises questions, and while it remains uncertain whether their Newark, New Jersey, field office possesses a designated agent for UFO-related cases, their visit aligns with their duty to investigate reports of illegal or hazardous radiological materials.
