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.
