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.

RE: Freedom of Information requests

AIR20/12966 was the only UFO file transferred in Oct (that I can identify).

It is my understanding that there are no big new releases - although I suspect that some Cabinet Office and No 10 files which are normally only transferred during the last few months of the preceding year might received a splash.

Thanks. Was this the only UFO file collected in October?

Does this mean that pieces are now opened throughout the year following transfer and TNA preparation and there is no big new year releases anymore?.

AIR 20/12966 was transferred in October.

I'm not anticipating another pick-up before Christmas, therefore no further "UFO" transfers.

In any case with FOI the "new year" release arrangement has effectively lapsed!
