Stephanie O’Sullivan
Former senior U.S. intelligence official. Served as Deputy Director of CIA Directorate of Science and Technology (2005–2009), CIA Associate Deputy Director (Dec 2009 – Feb 2011), and Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence (PDDNI, 2011–2017) — the senior career civilian in the IC, directly reporting to DNI jim-clapper.
She entered intelligence through TRW (later absorbed by northrop-grumman) and the Office of Naval Intelligence. Since retirement she has served on the boards of Battelle Memorial Institute, the Aerospace Corporation, and HRL Laboratories — organizations targeted by Rep. eric-burlison’s UAP records investigation as alleged handlers of UAP-derived materials.
UAP Allegations
christopher-sharp at liberation-times reported in January 2026 (src-clapper-osullivan-ufo-retrieval-2026-01) that three independent sources allege O’Sullivan and jim-clapper jointly oversaw a classified program codenamed “Golden Domes” — a CIA/USAF joint effort to detect, track, and kinetically engage non-human aerial vehicles, including while “cloaked.”
david-grusch publicly named O’Sullivan as someone “in rooms discussing this issue” and called on her to come forward. Sources further allege she was questioned by the senate-select-committee-on-intelligence and misled members — including then-Senator marco-rubio — by denying any involvement. Her CIA Directorate of Science and Technology is separately alleged to coordinate UAP retrieval missions and safeguard derived technologies.
All allegations are unverified and denied or unaddressed by O’Sullivan.
