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.

RE: FOIA request
## Section 40
It's a pity Dr Clarke feels that he is unable to wait until the press event at the end of June!
Looking at the pick-up details from the last two collections - March and May 06 - I see no UFO files.

Please see below the latest email from Dr Clarke.
How are you doing with Dr Clarke's request and the papers outstanding from his earlier request?. I am happy to continue to correspond with him and send the final reply to his request unless you would rather answer this request yourself. Please let me know which it is to be.
Section 40 would appreciate your advice regarding the files transferred to TNA as mentioned by Dr Clarke.

I spoke to the TNA Press Office last week and was told that a number of MoD files in the DEFE and AIR categories are due to be opened on 29 June. Do you know if any of
