Pandolfi, Ron

Pandolfi, Ronald – Alleged former / current head of the CIA’s “Weird Desk”

Pandolfi has been an infamous character for a very long time within the UFO community.

Kit Green was head of the Weird Desk until 1983 when Ron Pandolfi took over the post.

 

Sometime in April 1996, intelligence analyst Ronald Pandolfi wrote a report for the CIA warning about military implications of Hughes Electronics’ sharing of missile expertise with the PRC. The CIA decided not to distribute the classified report to select government officials, as is routinely done with intelligence estimates, saying it was insufficiently rigorous. The report would be kept from Congress until late 1998.[11]

 

“When a Central Intelligence Agency scientist visited the Hughes Electronics Corporation in Los Angeles in 1995 to learn more about China’s missile capabilities, he became concerned that the satellite manufacturer might have helped improve Chinese military capabilities.

The worries of the scientist, Ronald Pandolfi, were not warmly received back at C.I.A. headquarters, intelligence officials now say, and the agency killed his study, called a National Intelligence Estimate.

But today, the information gathered by Mr. Pandolfi is part of various criminal and Congressional investigations looking at the transfer of American space technology to China and, more broadly, at the intersection of commerce and national security in the Clinton Administration.

Officials disclosed over the weekend that the Senate Intelligence Committee had asked the Justice Department to determine whether the agency had obstructed justice by alerting Hughes to the Senate panel’s recent interest in Mr. Pandolfi and the officials he saw at Hughes in 1995.

C.I.A. officials deny that the agency intended to hinder the Senate inquiry, and say they helped facilitate Mr. Pandolfi’s questioning by investigators. An agency spokesman, Bill Harlow, said the agency would not talk about Mr. Pandolfi’s experiences or the 1996 National Intelligence Estimate he wrote, because of the investigations. The classified intelligence estimate warned that the transfer of American satellite technology could contribute to China’s ballistic missile capabilities, other officials said.

C.I.A. officials disagreed with some of Mr. Pandolfi’s conclusions and decided that the estimate was not ”rigorous” enough, one official said, so it was not published or distributed to other Government officials.”

rockefeller also had other meetings outside the white house one example was with republican stephen horn republican from from california from the government reform and oversight committee related to government secrecy rockefeller’s request for ufo disclosure was dealt with in the white house by the president’s science advisor dr jack gibbons to prepare for the first meeting in march of 1993 with rockefeller dr gibbons requested a ufo briefing from the cia that briefing was tasked at the cia to dr ronald pandolfie so if you want to know that’s probably the guy you should be phoning dr ronald pendolfi who’s been identified by the new york times as the top scientist in the cia and a man who is rumored inside the ufo community as the agency expert on ufos and a man that over the last 20 years has repeatedly interacted with many researchers inside the ufo community as the cia has a public position of no ufo involvement pandolfi gave the job of writing the white house briefing which he knew would become public because lawrence rockefeller was involved he gave that briefing job to a private ufo researcher mr bruce mcabee who had done a couple of ufo lunchtime talks at the cia headquarters the briefing therefore became not an official briefing on the subject but just a personal opinion of one researcher inside the ufo community rockefeller exerted great pressure on the clinton white house threatening threatening to white to write an open letter demanding ufo disclosure
