Former Acting DoD Inspector General Sean O’Donnell Emails: UFOs and UAP

Mr. Sean O’Donnell joined the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (DoD OIG) as the Acting Inspector General (IG) on April 6, 2020. He was replaced by The Honorable Robert P. Storch in December of 2022.

On January 4, 2022, The Black Vault filed a FOIA request for his emails relating to various UAP and UFO related keywords. The below is the result of that case, wherein more than 400 pages were found.
