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.

Further to our telecon last week I mentioned that a group in the Netherlands had completed a thorough investigation of the 1990 sighting made by RAF Tornado aircrew.
The results of their findings can be seen at the following

(you may have to click on the UK flag to obtain a translation to English).
As I explained the UFO sighted by the Tornado crews is clearly explained here as a misinterpretation of the burning debris from the Soviet Proton-Gorizont rocket body.
It is a pity that MoD records on this case do not appear to contain any information upon this explanation. I'm sure that either DAO or RAF Fylingdales would have been aware of the presence of the space debris at the relevant time.
I notice with amusement that Mr P has again cited the Tornado sighting in the context of "unidentified" UFOs in his article in the Daily Express on 15 May, again under the byline of "Ministry of Defence UFO Project."
Yours sincerely,
David Clarke
