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.

From: Sent: To: Subject: david clarke Section 40 24 February 2006 13:14 Section 40 Re: FOI Request Importance: High TNAUFO.doc (68 KB) 24 February 2006 ## Dear Section 40 Further to my email dated 23 February, I should have mentioned one additional question for DIS relating to the UAP report. I noted that in the three page paper dated 22 January 1997 produced by the author of the report (which you released in August last year), he refers to the UAP project as "Project Condign." Could DIS confirm that "Condign" was the word used to describe the project during the period 1997-2000. If so, is there any significance in the choice of the word? The similarity to "Condon" (the name of the USAF study, completed in 1969) is striking and I wondered if that was why this name was chosen. Finally, if you do get around to visiting TNA and get the opportunity to check out any of the UFO files available there, you may find the attached list of use. I put this together when I was preparing the Research Guide to the UFO records at Kew last year and I have kept it under revision so that it is as comprehensive in coverage as possible. Yours sincerely Dr David Clarke
