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.

ENCLOSURE 20 NUMBER ## Dear Dr Clarke Further to my e-mail yesterday, I have now received advice from Section 40 regarding the transfer of UFO related files to The National Archives. AIR 20/12966 was transferred to TNA in October and this was the only UFO file transferred. At present there are no further scheduled collections, and the MOD is not expecting any further transfers before Christmas. With regard to the traditional big new year releases at TNA, I understand that following the implementation of the FOI Act records are now released throughout the year, following transfer from Government departments and TNA preparation. There may, however, be some new year releases because some government departments such as the Cabinet Office and No.10, normally only transfer their records to TNA during the last few months of the year. I hope this is helpful. Yours sincerely, ## Section 40 Directorate of Air Staff - Freedom of Information 24th November 2005
