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.

Since our last communication I have moved to a new academic post at Sheffield Hallam University which will allow me to specialise and teach in the areas of Open Government and FOI that interest me but have only just begun to catch up on correspondence. >I wondered if it would be possible to provide me with an update on progress with a) the outstanding requests from my 2nd FOI request and also progress with b) the new request I made for the DIS report on UAPs made on 26 September; I understand I was due a response on this specific request on 25 October.
