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.

## Dear Section 40
Thank you for your email of 20 March and for answering my various comments in detail.
I apologise if I have misinterpreted the information regarding the author of the UAP report. The information relating to him being RAF aircrew relates to a paragraph in the 3-page letter which I presumed was written by the author of the report to Sec(AS) and dated 22 January 1997, which you released last year in response to my last FOI request. This contains a paragraph (no 8) which reads:
"...this leads to another important point, that of the current public UFO questionnaire format - which was 'invented' in the 1950s (I know because I filled one in myself after a sortie when flying in the RAF at the time)."
However, it's possible that he was flying in the RAF in some other capacity than aircrew. But as I'm sure you can see, that is the implication when read at face value.
Thanks also for sending me a copy of the article in Focus and for the definitive statement concerning the non-existent "UFO Project."
I look forward to hearing from you when work on the document is completed (hopefully soon). Please could you convey my thanks and appreciation to all concerned.
Yours sincerely
Dr David Clarke
