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.

# UNIDENTIFIED AERIAL PHENOMENA (UAP) IN THE UK AIR DEFENCE REGION - RESULT OF INTERNAL REVIEW

Following a request for an Internal Review to be conducted, which specifically asked for the decision to withhold information under exemptions s.26 and s.27 to be reviewed, some of the previously redacted sections from the UAP report have now been released. This has resulted in amendments to eleven of the previously released pages.

The pages affected are as follows:
