Request for Information
As you will be aware Dr Clarke has made five new requests for Information under the Code of Practice on Access to
Government Information. One of the incidents he has asked about was on 30/31 March 1993 when a large number
of military personnel, Police, civilians etc made UFO reports. Dr Clarke has asked for a copy of the reports and the
assessment made. Our files contain reports and Nick Pope's letters to Dl55 and notes about D Air Def but no
assessment from your predecessors. We are going to search our other files for this period but I would be grateful if
you could ask your registry to call back D Air Def 111/6/4 Part G which I believe is in archives and may contain a
copy of D Air Defs assessment of these events.
I will be on leave until the 4th October, but prehaps we can discuss further on my return.
