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.

ENCLOSURE 37 NUMBER ## Importance: 21 April 2006 ## Dear Section 40 Just to follow-up our telecon on Wednesday re the imminent release of the DIS UFO report. As I believe I mentioned to you, I will travelling to London early next Friday, 28 April, to spend two days working at the British Library. Assuming the report is cleared for release on Tuesday, or Wednesday, would it not be more convenient - and save postal charges - if I was to collect my copy from you directly, at the MoD main building on Friday morning? If you could let me know if this would be acceptable, I will make the necessary arrangements and would expect to be at Trafalgar Square for around 10.30-11am. A further point arising from our conversation: with regards to the covering letter to me you plan to upload to the Publication Scheme. If you recall I requested that, in order to make clear who it was who made the FOI request which led to the release of this report, my name (but not my address) should be left on the covering letter. Under the DPA I presume written consent is required for this to happen, so I hereby give that consent. ## Section 40 As we discussed, given the fact that Section 40 and I requested this report in September 2005 I hope that MoD will allow us some time to read and digest its contents etc before you add the document to the online Publication Scheme. Thankyou for your continued assistance with this matter, David Clarke
