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.

UAP Report: Possible questions from the media

1) How much did it cost the taxpayer?

2) What are the conclusions/does it say we are being visited by ET and if not how can you be sure?

3) Why was this report written - was it to investigate if aliens were visiting us?

4) When was this study done and why was it kept secret?

5) Why are the MoD secretly studying UFOs when you have said on many occasions you are not interested in the subject/it is not taken seriously, etc

6) Why is the MoD releasing this report now - what's led to the decision?

7) Who wrote this report and what is his/her background? Can we interview him/her?

8) Is the person who wrote this report the MoD's "UFO expert"? Why was he/her chosen to write it?

9) Does this mean the MoD is no longer interested in UFOs? Who do people ring now if they want to report seeing something in the sky? (this requires an explanation of differing responsibilites of DIS and DAS)

10) What does this tell us about the Rendlesham incident?

11) Does the report contain information about (famous UFO incident)?

12) What about 9/11? Shouldn't the MoD be taking all reports of unidentified objects seriously given the ongoing terrorist threat? Isn't this the wrong time to take your eye off the ball?

13) Which high ranking MoD or Government minsters have read this report, and/or to whom was the report circulated?

14) Was it sent to any foreign Governments (i.e. the Americans) for advice? Have you discussed the conclusions with the Americans?

15) Is Section 40 aware of this report, and if so did he have any input into it?
