This Ministry of Defence file, released through The National Archives and published by The Black Vault, holds the MOD's 2002 handling of Dr David Clarke's requests for UFO documents under the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information. It includes the MOD's 9 December 2002 reply, which covered reports from 1976, 1980, 1993 and 1996 and charged £260. It also contains internal emails and file requisitions, plus Foreign Office and United Nations papers from 1978 on Grenada's proposal for UFO research.

~'''1. .· gendarmes are serious people. When they cruce a raport, the g~ndarmes do
do it haphazardly: and if there were only one or two, you could oay that
the gendarmes' sincerity was suspect. But I must say that there is a great
number of gendarmes' reports which are very varied, it must be said. Some-
times they relate facts, if you like, which have been reported to t~em, few
of them but all the same some talk of phenomena at ground level, you know 1 of
changes in the ground, all this, if you like, is still quite fragmentary. I
think, to conclude if you like in this matter, that we must adopt an extremely
open attitude of mind to all this, not put in doubt the sincerity of people,
soma of whom are obviously sincere, but at the m.o:nent it is really far too
soon to draw the least conclu13ion."
Yves Mourousi
