Yeah, the car ramming in PG is one unsolved mystery (assuming it wasn't time travel shenanigans).
The bomb on Murphy's car in WN is another one, albeit also credibly attributable to Madrigal.

Speaking of the FBI incident, I never gave this much thought before, but I now think it would be seemingly impossible for the FBI to not know "something" out of the ordinary happened.
I mean, a major FBI building had a huge shootout with dozens of monsters. I dont think the standard explanation of "people like to believe other things" is going to work.

Keep in mind that this is the same universe where a Coroner can say 'these people aren't human' and get thrown in the loony bin despite having the bodies to prove it.

It's going to be tougher to pull that if there's an intact corpse, though. A dispute about what intense heat does to a skeleton is pretty much inside baseball among coroners. If they actually left bodies behind, a greasy anthropoid bat-monster with fangs isn't going to be mistakable for human by first responders, even with its belly shot open or half its head caved in.
And while the Reds were certainly pretty deadly, it stretches belief that nobody in the whole building but Tilly and Rudolph saw them and evaded being killed.

And that none of the other people in the building managed to kill some of them too.
