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.

What all this means is anybody's guess. Was the information
correct and I see no reason why it ~houldn't be, or was it
incorrect and i·deliberate ·ploy to confuse the issue and try to
put me off the scent? - I really don't know.
If correct, and lets suppose it is, then this surely means that
not only were there 'unknown' objects flying and hovering over
the westcountry between 8.00pm and 2.00am on the night, but
were also tracking across the Midlands, South Yorkshire and
Hampshire - what were they doing?
Conclusions
As a Ufo researcher, it's my job to try and evaluate all
reports and information received ~n an objective and hopefully
methodical way. This case has, to date, shown all the hallmarks
of a typical ufo event with evidence swaying the urgently
sought answers one way and then the other. Were the events on
this night nothing more or less· than the re-entry of a man made
space vehicle, or was it a ufo phenomenon related to that
event? I think it may well be the latter. My reasons for
thinking this are twofold.
Firstly, there is no doubt that the re-entry took place and
that this occurred at approximately 01.0Sam on the 31st. From
the evidence collected and collated it is almost certainly a
fact that the reports describing the events at l.lOam indicate
that what these people witnessed was the re-entry of this
missile. The heights given are synonymous with a re-entry of
this kind and the length of 'sighting time' likewise. All the
'sighters' give the objects direction of flight as N.W. to S.E.
or N. to S. giving some_ marg~n of error and this would
certainly been the spent rockets course.
