This Ministry of Defence file, released through The National Archives and published by The Black Vault, holds the MOD's 2002 handling of Dr David Clarke's requests for UFO documents under the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information. It includes the MOD's 9 December 2002 reply, which covered reports from 1976, 1980, 1993 and 1996 and charged £260. It also contains internal emails and file requisitions, plus Foreign Office and United Nations papers from 1978 on Grenada's proposal for UFO research.

In fact, there is an ever-growing belief that space travel has a connection with tele- pathy and telekinesis, because cosmonauts in orbit have discovered through scientific tests that they have an increased level of telephathic communication. Jf\ve assume that extra-terrestrial intelligences who travel to earth are more advanced than we are-and in that respect I think that they must be-then UFOs could be tele- kinetic phenomena: in other words, controlled by thought pulses. Since thought is not subject to the physical limitations of matter, thea veloci- ties in excess of the speed of light would be possible. It is interesting to me th:::t in 1968 I was sp-:aking to Sir Frank Whittle, the inventor of the jet engine and an eminent scientist, about interstellar space travel. It was just before the Americans had landed on the moon. Sir Frank said that he thought that it would be perfectly feasible one day to go to the stars, as he did not believe in Einstein's theory of relativity. A rem~rk like this, coming from an ordinary man like myself, would probably, quite rightly, be laughed at. But one can certainly not laugh when a remark like that is made bv such an eminent person as Sir Frank Vihittle. What is interesting is that two years htcr, in 1970, Dr. Fomin, a Russian doctor of telekinesis ar:d automation, argued that, · to traverse interstellar space, \Ve would have to grapple with physical laws differeut from those we know at present and which so far are oi1ly theory. However, these principles have been established in mathe- matical formulae. Therefore, Einsteiil's concept of time and space possibly may not apply. In· 1976, President Carter, in a· pre- election pledge stated: '.'If I become President, I'Wmake every piece of infom1ation this country has about UFO siting3 available to the oublic and the scientists. I am convinced that UFOs exist. I have seen them". This statement was a breakthrough against the United States cover-up as it admitted that not all UFO information is, or has been, available to the American public.

I strongly sus- pect that Her MaJesty's Government know why, and if they do know, why then, they should inform your Lordships. I believe that there is much material evidence on UFOs in the national archives in the United States of America which has never been made known to the public and even President Carter is finding it difficult to carry o~t his pre-election pkdge. I am led to believe that he has tried unsuccessfully with NASA to do UFO research. The answer he has beea given is" No, due to exp~nse ". That re~eareh which NASA has been required to do wouid cost a few million dollars, but a few millioa dollars is only tile cost of two astronauts' suits. Therefore it ~ppears obvious that for some reason there is a cover-up in the United States. We in the United Kingdom are in a strange position because we have had thousands of sightings, yet I am led to understand that the Ministry of Defence hr:HI thin :>1nr. living bel I think 1 fact th~ system , 1 ' cow.c fr The parade- sister ~.- H.L.S
