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: Internet-authorised:FOI Request
Dear Dr Clarke
I am writing concerning your message requesting an update on progress with your FOI request.
As discussed, I meet with DIS last week to discuss any remaining areas of concern regarding the contents of the UAP report and its preparation for release. During the meeting a few issues arose where there is still some concern about sensitive information and we are currently seeking the advice of the Department's experts in the areas affected. We hope this will not take too long to complete and I will let you know when we can be more certain about a date for release. In the meantime DIS staff are preparing the remaining documents for release.
Please see attached the answers to the questions you asked in your email of 23 February. I hope you find these useful. The time taken to research and provide answers to these questions has diverted DIS from the task of preparing the the UAP report, so if you have any further questions, it would be helpful if you could wait until you have seen the released documents. This would allow staff to concentrate on preparing the report and you may find that the answers to your questions could be amongst the released material.
I hope this is helpful. I will contact you again when I have any news about a date for release.
Yours sincerely,
