Thank you for your letter of 11 November in which you asked us to proceed with your request for
UFO related documents.
.Our search is now complete, so I will address your requests individually and explain the files
examined and documents enclosed with this letter.
1. Copy of the file relating to a UFO report made by-nd- near
Winchester, Hampshire on 14 November 1976.
nor any
this request.
but it contained no reports for the 14th November,
There are therefore no documents we can send you for
2. Copies of the files containing briefing and background notes on UFOs prepared by
the head of S4(Air), with contributions from RAF Ops (GE)2 and DI55 for reference by
Lord Strabolgi in his closing address during the House of Lords debate on UFOs, 18
January 1979.
Our files D/DSS/75/3/1 Parts A and B (Parliamentary Correspondence- House of Lords Debate,
January 1979) were destroyed in 1990. As requested we have examined our general
parliamentary correspondence tile, D/DS8/75/3 Part A and this has revealed several background
documents relating to the debate. As I indicated in my last letter, some of these were not
generated by the MOD and I have asked the Department concerned to examine them for possible
release. I will write to you as soon as I have received a reply. In the meantime, please find
enclosed the relevant papers from this file which we are able to release immediately, plus a
number of papers located by DI55.
