This MoD file, titled UFOs - Persistent Correspondence - Dr David Clarke, holds Dr David Clarke's Freedom of Information requests and emails to the Directorate of Air Staff from 2005 to 2008. Clarke asked for the DI55 report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Air Defence Region and for Rendlesham papers. He also sought records about Nick Pope. Other items include an internal review that released redacted passages on plasmas, the MoD's statement that it had no report of the 2008 South Wales police helicopter sighting, and a 2009 disposal form.

## Section 40

As discussed, here is Dr Clarke's e-mail following my conversation with him yesterday. I can not answer his questions, but maybe Section40. With regard to questions he has suggested that might be asked by the press, I have already started to draft some press lines, so I will continue to draft these incorporating those he has suggested.

During my conversation with Dr Clarke he mentioned the likely media interest when the report is released and I said that we anticipated that one of the questions might be "why are you releasing the report now". I said that we would say that it was in response to an FOI request but not give his name. He said he was happy for us to give his name and say it was part of his ongoing academic research. This morning I have also received an e-mail from Section 40 who is the other person waiting for these documents (and in touch with Dr Clarke)and he also has no objection to us giving his name.

Please give me a call if you want to talk about any of this.

Regards

Dear Section 40

Further to our telecon earlier today regarding the release of the UAP report, here is a short list of questions for the attention of the DIS people at your forthcoming meeting. I mentioned some of these during our conversation.

I've also attached a list of questions (attachment B) that may be helpful both for yourself and DPO when drawing up a Press briefing for future use when the report becomes public knowledge. I have had some experience dealing with the media on the subject of UFOs and these are just some of the questions I believe they will ask.

Questions for DIS on behalf of Dr David Clarke:

1. Would it be possible to correspond with and/or interview the author of the report? The report is an important and historically important document and from
