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.

disclosure of the information is in the public interest. The PIT has been completed and it has been determined that disclosure of the exempt information is not in the public interest and should be withheld. The basis for this decision was that to disclose the exempt information would reveal information on the performance and limitations of UK air defence radar and thereby could prejudice the defence of the UK and could harm international relations with other countries by disclosing their work on UAPs and related programmes.
11. In anticipation of the expected reaction to the release of the report suitable press lines are being prepared and the MoD Press Office will be informed. A copy of the first draft of the press lines is attached. An updated version is being prepared by DAS and will be completed by 28 April.

The report is to be released to the requester in hard copy but, in view of the anticipated level of interest and number of new requests for copies of the report, the report will be scanned and posted onto the MoD Freedom of Information website where it can viewed and downloaded by the general public.
13. The report is very large, but if any addressees would like to see a copy, it can be viewed by contacting Section 40 DI BCR CG3, Section 40
