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.

## Dear Section 40
Thanks for your email dated 20 February and for providing an update on progress with my Freedom of Information request. I'm pleased to hear substantial progress is now expected and I hope it will be possible to obtain a copy of the full report by the middle of March as you predict.
I have a number of questions related to the release which you might usefully be able to answer seeing as you are due to meet representatives from the DIS next Tuesday. For instance, I wondered if it is possible for DIS to confirm that the UFO files used to draw the database are indeed among those contaminated by asbestos. If it's convenient to speak on the phone before then could you suggest a time I could call you.
In the meantime, thanks again for all the work you have put into processing this substantial response to my request.
Yours,
David Clarke
