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.

Subject: RE: FOI Policy - Security Classifications
## Section 40
Thanks. The only problem is this was Secret UK Eyes Only. The document was originated and held by DIS (DAS were not on the original distribution) who downgraded it and authorised its release to Dr Clarke. I have sent your e-mail to DIS for advice.

We see no problem with telling the applicant unless there were sensitivities with the original classification (i.e. it is UK Eyes only or something similar) If this is not the case then I don't see that being a problem.

Subject: FOI Policy - Security Classifications
Importance: High
## Section
Do you know if there is any particular policy regarding the removal of security classifications from released documents?. We have released some documents which were originally classified SECRET but following a FOI request were downgraded by the originating branch to unclassified. On release the original security classification was redacted because it no longer applied and was not therefore relevant. The applicant is a social historian and has asked if he can be told what the original classification was.
