Disambiguation: Ronald S. Pandolfi is the CIA scientist known for heading the agency's 'Weird Desk' and UFO research; not to be confused with other professionals named Pandolfi in unrelated fields.

Dr. Ronald S. Pandolfi is a senior CIA intelligence analyst with a PhD in physical sciences from UCLA who became the principal figure in the U.S. intelligence community's engagement with unconventional phenomena and UFO research. He joined the CIA's Directorate of Science & Technology and assumed leadership of the 'Weird Desk' in 1983, inheriting responsibility for thousands of UFO files from predecessor Dr. Christopher 'Kit' Green. In the mid-1990s, Pandolfi rose to prominence as 'the CIA's highest ranking scientist' during an investigation into unauthorized technology transfers to China from Hughes Electronics Corporation, briefing the Senate Intelligence Committee. Throughout his career spanning the 1980s through early 2000s, he maintained controversial engagement with civilian UFO researchers, attended government working groups on UFOs, and later worked within the Director of National Intelligence's office on MASINT (Measurement and Signature Intelligence). Pandolfi became a focal point of UFO disclosure debates, with allegations of both protecting and gatekeeping UAP information while simultaneously dismissing certain cases as hoaxes.

Dr. Ronald S. Pandolfi é um analista sênior de inteligência da CIA com doutorado em ciências físicas pela UCLA, que se tornou a figura principal no envolvimento da comunidade de inteligência norte-americana com fenômenos não convencionais e pesquisa de OVNIs/UAPs. Ingressou na Diretoria de Ciência e Tecnologia da CIA e assumiu a liderança da 'Weird Desk' em 1983, herdando responsabilidade sobre milhares de arquivos de OVNIs do antecessor Dr. Christopher 'Kit' Green. Em meados dos anos 1990, Pandolfi ganhou destaque como 'o cientista de maior patente da CIA' durante uma investigação sobre transferências não autorizadas de tecnologia para a China da Hughes Electronics Corporation, fazendo apresentações ao Comitê de Inteligência do Senado. Ao longo de sua carreira, que se estendeu dos anos 1980 aos anos 2000, manteve envolvimento controverso com pesquisadores civis de OVNIs, participou de grupos de trabalho governamentais sobre OVNIs e posteriormente trabalhou no escritório do Diretor de Inteligência Nacional em MASINT (Measurement and Signature Intelligence). Pandolfi tornou-se figura central em debates sobre divulgação de UAPs, com alegações tanto de proteção quanto de controle de informações sobre UAPs, enquanto simultaneamente desacreditava certos casos como fraudes.
