With regards tp the two short passages deleted rrom the DSI/JTIC Report No I note that the extracted passages are currently to subject of discussions between the MOD and the relevant party (presumably the US Air Force rrom the context). If a decision is made to release these redacted sentences, would it be possible to notify me ofthe content. Ifthe decision is to withhold the passages, I would appreciate knowledge of the reasons why this is felt necessary in the public interest after the passage of 50 years.

. Finally, with Jegards to my request for access to DSI/JTIC Report No 7 on UFOs (1952).It is disappointing that this document has not been located during your review of closed files. The attachment I enclosed with my letter of September 4 clearly demonstrated this document existed in 1967 when it was referred to by an officer of the DSTI branch, DI55. It seems improbable that such an important document (the basis of a briefing by the Secretary of State for Air to Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 1952) would have been lost or ’not have survived the passage of time’ when other material of lesser interest hassurvived and is available in the Public Record Office today.

From the DSI/JTIC committee minutes availah]e at the PRO it is stated that a ’watered down’ copy of the Report No.7 was being considered for release to the Press during October 1952 by DDI (Security),so it is possible copies may have been sent to a number of different MOD departments. As it is also noted that the Americans (presumably the US Air Force) would have to be consulted before any Press release, copies of Report No 7 mav also have heen sent to the US Embassy in 1952-53. In addition. there is a note in the of this report had bOt;>! se!1L Lv Sit Henry TiL.ai , wi!vsc pape > stating are preserved at the Imperial War Museum. I intend to visit the Museum to research Tizard’s papers in the near future, and will notify you if! find the document among these papers.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I wonder if you could assist me with the following query: I am researching material for an academic book on the subject ofthe UK Government’s involvement with the subject ofUFOsIFlying Saucers, you know there has been much material released into the PRO over recent years concerning this subject, and I have been able to work with this materiaL However, whilst searching for one particular document I have experienced difficulties, as follows.

The document is question is called DSI/JTIC Report No 7 On Unidentified FIving Objects. It was created in 1952 by a ’Flying Saucer Working Party’, There are several instances ofminutes where this report and the composition ofthe working party are discussed yet the actual report itself is missing from the relevant files held at the PRO.

However the file must be in existence because evidence exists that it was retrieved in 1967 by a member ofthe DSTI branch, DI55, That this is the case is demonstrated by lE.Dickison’s note in file AIR 2/18117 where he states, "we have recovered all but two ofthe files on UFOs for the period 1951-52_....we consider that the report DSI/JTIC Report No, 7,Unidentified Flying Objects covers the situation as a whole for such activity at that time."

As I have been told that all UFO files from 1967 have been retained, and as DSI/JTIC Report No.7 is clearly mentioned as having been retrieved in 1967 it should have been lodged in the UFO files for 1967 which have now been released. Close scrutiny ofthese files revealed that report No, 7 does not appear to be there, nor is there any mention ofthe file, As it was created in 1952 surely it has long since passed the 30 Year Rule marker and should be available to members ofthe public. Based on the above information and current legislation about the release of documents I am therefore requesting any information you have about Report No. 7 and if at all possible to see a copy of the file. I am quite prepared to pay any costs incurred.

If, however, you deny any knowledge ofthis report I would like an explanation as to how it was retrieved in 1967 yet appears to be missing_ If you have the report but are withholding it from public scrutiny I would be interested to know why.

From my own research I am satisfied that the government position on UFOs,ie that they are ofno defence sigpificance, misperceptions etc is valid. But from an academic point ofview being able to see this report would Lvow considerable light on TRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;( UFO policy in the ealy 1950s and it is for this reason I wish to see the report.

I realise that this sort of enquiry may not be a high priority for you but having spent many weeks at the PRO looking for this document and being unable to locate it I am obviously trying any avenues which appear re]evant.

. In the meantime, as new information has come to light I am now in a position to be more specific in terms of my request for access to files addressed to the MOD Record Officer on 27 July and 7 I am now able to precisely specify the name and what I suspect to be the current location ofthe fUels to which I referred in my earlier requests to the Record Officer. The document I am seeking is known as DSIfJTIC Report No.7 on Unidentified Flying Objects. It was created in 1952 by the ’Flying Saucer Working Party’ set up in August 1950 at the request of Sir Henry Tizard. DSUJTIC minutes I have viewed at the Public Record Office (DEFE4/74-76) ’0 +q demonstrate that the Working Party consisted of representatives from DSTI,ADNI (Tech),MI 10 and ADI (Tech).Report No 7 is referred to in a minute of7 October 1952 and is listed on a register ofDSUJTIC reports in DEFE 41/76 (see enclosed, Attachment A). However, the document is missing from the DSUJTIC reports and papers which are contained within DEFE 152-54. This is not because the file has been destroyed, but rather because it was "retrieved" (moved to another file?) by a member’ \) ofthe DSTI branch, DI55, in December 1967. In evidence for this assertion, I attach a copy (enclosed,Attachment B)of an internal memo, copied from PRO file Air 2/18117, where IE Dickison ofDI55 states that: "we [DI55]have recovered all but two ofthe Metropole (ie Intelligence)files on UFOsfor the period I95I-2...we consider that the report DSl/JnC Report No. 7 Unidentified Flying Objects covers the situation as a whole for such activity at that time."

It is accepted that all files and papers relating to UFOs have been permanently preserved by the MOD from 1967 at the request ofthe Secretary ofthe State for Defence.

AIR 2/18873 contains public enquiries concerning ’UFOs’covering the period June 1973 to February 1974 and amounts to some 109 enclosures. Additionally, AF/584 contains ’UFO’reports for January 1974 amounting to some 100 enclosures. It would be possible to sanitise and photocopy the contents ofboth files (see below).

As I mentioned in my letter of29 September,the Ministry of Defence is bound by the Code ofPractice on Access to Government Information. This means that we are committed to providing you with the information you require, as long as it is not exempted under the Code. However,to ensure this does not create an extra burden on the taxpayer,we have a charging regime for more complicated requests. If a request is likely to require over four hours’ work, each hour’s work over four hours (orpart thereof) is charged at U5.00 per hour.

1-4

We estimate that the number of documents to be copied in the files mentioned in and 6 above is in the region of 800 pages. Assuming it will take two minutes to check,sanitise and photocopy each page our calculation is that, after the first 4 hours, 22 hours of work at U5.00 per hour will remain totalling some B30.00. To copy the full 800 pages would be a four day task spread over eight half days. As the fairly small section likely to take on the work will also be heavily involved in checking material to be released in January 2001, those eight half days would be spread over an eight week period. The material could be made available to you during December 2000. Ifyou decide to wait to view the contents of file BJ 5/311 until its release to the Public Records Office in January 2001,then the cost of copying the remaining files falls, after deducting the first four hours of work,to around U60.00. I would be grateful for confirmation that you wish to proceed with this enquiry, indicating whether including or excluding BJ 5/311, and that you are willing to meet the appropriate charge. Ifthe cost of obtaining the information is likely to be significantly greater than our estimate suggests we will contact you again before proceeding further.

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

That caveat aside, I do understand and sympathise with the MOD’s position on the subject of UFOs. My ongoing research into the social history ofthe subject at the PRO and the British Library has demonstrated how dealing with inquiries about UFOs has become an on-going public relations problem for your staff dating back to the early 50s. On the subject of"UFOs"themselves, I completely concur with the MOD’s conclusions that the vast majority if not all observations can be explained as n sindentifications ofnatural phenomena, balloons, planets and stars etc. However,the ongoing ’will to believe’ in the existence of ’exotic’ UFOs intruding into li’K airspace on the part ofUFOlogists and the attitude ofthe media, which you note observers often seek out to promote their alleged experiences, has meant the UFO myth has continued to develop and will not go away.

It is precisely these social and psychological contexts particularly periods ofPress interest and Parliamentary Questions which I am examining as part ofmy on-going research based at the National Centre for English Cultural Tradition and Language, University of Sheffield. The paperwork generated by the various MOD departments which have dealt with tbr UFO both in terms ofpublic and internal pdicy since 1950 are a crucial source ofinformation for my project, hence my request for access to documents which currently fall within the 30 year rule.

I am grateful that you are taking the trouble to retrieve and review the UFO-related files to which I have requested access, and look forward to your progress report at the end of September.

With regard to crop circles, alien abduction and cattle mutilation, occasionally a member of the public does write to us about these issues, but there is no evidence to suggest that these phenomena are caused by anything of military concern and the MOD does not therefore investigate reported sightings or carry out research into them. Also the MOD’s policy and view in relation to the alien abduction phenomenon, is that we are not aware of any evidence which substantiate the existence of extraterrestrial activity. The matter of abduction by alien lifeforms is a non-issue as far as the MOD is concerned. Abductionlkidnap and cattle mutilation in the general sense is, of course, a criminal offence and as such would be a matter for the civil police.

If you are still unhappy following an internal review, you may wish to take your complaint to the Information Commissioner under the provisions of Section 50 ofthe Freedom of Information Please note that the Information Commissioner will not investigate your case until the MOD internal review process has been completed.

With regard to events on 24 March 1997 I can confirm that our records show that loud bangs were heard northwest of Sheffield in the Peak District between 2145Z and 2215Z and local people believed that an aircraft had crashed in the area. The Police and RAF Search and Rescue undertook a search ofthe area but no crash site was found. Over a year later, in May 1998,there was renewed interest in these events ITom journalists and MPs and the RAF Provost and Security Services (RAFPolice)were asked to investigate whether a military aircraft could have caused sonic booms. The RAF Police concluded that although there had been a sonic event, there were no military aircraft operating in the area at speeds at which a sonic boom could be generated. I enclose for your information a copy ofthe RAF Police report containing full details oftheir findings. Details ofthe parliamentary question asked about these events can be found on the parliamentary website at www.parliament.uk/hansardlharsard.cfin. You may wish to be aware that despite rumours of an RAF Tornado crashing into a reservoir in Derbyshire, the MOD has no record of such an

event.

You also requested information regarding MAJESTIC 12 and Project JEHOVAH. I understand it is alleged that these were projects set up in the USA,you therefore need to direct your enquiries to the US Government. We are not aware ofany information about these projects held by the MOD.

Finally, you requested information regarding our investigations into UFOs ITom the 1940s onwards. The MOD does not hold any documents about the history ofthe handling of UFO reports since the 1940s. Weare however aware that a working party was set up in August 1950 (at the suggestion of Sir Henry Tizard) who thought "flying saucers should be investigated". This All the was aptly named the Flying Saucer Working Party and was dissolved in June now open for public surviving MOD papers produced by the Flying Saucer Working Party are viewing at The National Archives, Ruskin Avenue, Kew,Richmond, Surrey, TW9 4DU.The final report ofthe Flying Saucer Working Party detailing their conclusions can be viewed in the MOD Freedom ofInformation Publication Scheme at www.foi.mod.uk. For ease ofreference, please find a copy enclosed with this letter. In more recent times, a standard form was introduced for reporting UFO sightings and these were sent to Air Defence staff(to check whether there was any evidence of a threat to UK airspace), and Defence Intelligence staff(DIS)(in case they contained any information of value in DISâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s task of analysing the performance and threat of foreign weapons systems, nuclear, chemical and biological warfare programmes and technologies and emerging technologies). In December 2000 DIS decided that as none of the reports they had received over a period of 50 years had yielded any valuable information whatsoever they did not wish to receive these reports any longer. Air Defence staffdo not now receive every report but may be consulted as described above.

EVENING NEWS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2005

ww.

. es .lens or Ie. In

More ’flying saucers’ have been reported,.but close encounters i

BLUE and white circular objects reported in the sky, shooting stars falling to the ground, a silver grey rod flying over a small town - it sounds like a scene from Close Encounters of the TlIrd Kind. But an exclusive News investigation has discovered normally Quiet and unassuming smaIl towns such as Huntingdon, Girton, Ely and St Neots are a hotbed of extra terrestrial activity. Ten UFOs have been reported in MidAnglia in the past three years according to the Ministry of Defence, which revealed the figures after the News made a request under the Freedom of Information But is this an invasion of little green men or a figment of fertile imaginations? Four lights. one brighter than the others, seen in the skies over Ely in February last year could be a signal from extraterrestrials that has travelled millions of lightyears to get here using physics we do not yet understand. Or it could be a plane. The British UFO Research Association (BUI<’ORA)has investigated reports of fiying saucers. abduction, crop circles and all things alien since 1964. Robert Rosamond. the group’s chairman, said most sightings can be

rationallyexpJained. "Some are everyday like aircraft, miJitary or civilian. or astronomical phenomena like shooting stars," he said. "And they can be very rare like geoJogical glowing balls of ’’All these can be mistaken by people for UFOs. We find that 95 per cent of all reports can be explained." Cambridgeshire seems to be a highway to the restaurant at the end of universe in the past 20 years, if reports are to be believed. Teenager Jamie Wilks said he saw a strange craft defy the laws of gravity in Vinery Road at 10.30pm in August 1994. The 14-year-old and his friends claimed they saw "strange pin-pricks" zipping

backwards and forwards in the sky. followed by what looked like some sort of craft emerging from behind a cloud. "I’m convinced it wasn’t a plane," said Jamie. "Planes don’t move like it was mov ing. It was defying the laws of physics. Leslie Woodbridge was convinced he saw an alien craft while driving across the Fens near Ely early one morning in November 1987. "I thought it was an aircraft. but its shape, speed and colour soon convinced me it was something far more strange,"

he said. "I wasn’t dreaming, It was incrediblethe most fascinating thing I’ve seen in my

life."

Mr Rosamond says BUFOHA tried to be as scientific as possible while investigating possible UFOs. "There are a few people who will hound you out a room if you say a sighting might not be UFO but we tried to be as objective as possible," he insists. "We are neither pro-UFO nor anti-UI<’O. We look at each case individually and we try to look at" the broad aspects of the phenomenon. "urology",as it has been dubbed, takes in many other subjects, such as psychology, the sciences and astronomy. adds Mr Rosamond. "We have all had individual cases where there is no obvious rational explanation but they are very rare. "’Ve never close a case and as we learn more it is possible phenomena we don’t understand now can be explained later," he said. Hollywood has also played its part. BUFORA files from the 1980s are bulging following the release of Stephen Spielberg’s 1977 blockbuster Close Encounters of tlIe TlIird Kind and his later hit ET,says Mr Rosamond. "We have files going back to 1924, and

the stereotype image of grey aliens you can see on everything from the bottom of skateboards to TV commercials came from the US. "Prior to that there was nothing in the UK," he adds. Since Roswell, when an alien craft allegedly crashed in New Mexico in 1947, reports of UFOs grew but over the past 15.years interest in little green men has died and sightings have dwindled. Mr Rosamond says: "We are keeping an open mind. We will keep searching for answers. An Ministry of Defence spokeswoman said: combination of civil and military radar installations provide a continuous real-time ’picture’of UK airspace. "Any threat to the UK Air Defence Region would be handled in the light of the particular circumstances at the time (it might, if deemed appropriate, involve the scrambling or diversion of air defence aircraft). "Reports provided to us of ’UFO’ sightings are examined within this department, but consultation with air defence staff is considered only where there is sufficient evidence to suggest a breach of UK air space. "The vast majority of reports we receive are very sketchy and vague_ Only a handful of reports in recent years have warranted further investigation and none revealed any evidence of a threat. "The MoD does not have any expertise or role in respect of ’UFO/flying saucer’ matters or to the question of the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial lifeforms. "We remain totally open-minded, but to date we know of no evidence which substantiates the existence of these alleged phenomena."

Memoirs not so diplomatic CAMBIUDGE graduate Sir Christopher Meyer. the former ambassador to the United States. revealed an interesting aside about his former boss. John Major. in his controversial memoirs. The Peterhouse graduate was having coffee with the ex.Prime Minister and Huntingdon MP in Washington when news of the September 11 New York terrorist atrocity broke. He was with Mr Major on the terrace of his palatial residence in the American capital when details came in of the disaster. Meyer assumed that "some small private plane had wandered off course or got into mechanical difficulties". Then his wife Catherine called him to the TV to see the second aircraft hitting New. York’s trade tower. Both Mr Meyer. a

former Downing Street Press Secretary to Mr Major. and his wife. tried to persuade the politician to go to a meeting of the Carlisle Group - one of the most

powerfl private financial firms in the US. He came back to say there had been a brief meeting before his speech was abandoned but he had met a Mr Bin Laden not the Osama behind the massacre but one of his many brothers who was a major investor in the firm. MR Meyer was pretty scathing about Mr Blair’s Cabinet ministers. He brands Foreign Secretary Jack Straw as "tongue tied" and Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott as "blithering". He does praise Cabinet rebels Clare Short and the late Mo Mowlem as able and also extols the virtues of Environment. Food and Rural affairs Secretary Margaret Beckett compared with her predecessor Nick Brown whom he brands ineffective and almost inaudible. It just shows you can take the diplomat out of Cambridge but never the Cambridge graduate’s superiority out of the

diplomat.

Firstly I should make clear although my application relates to the period in which the Rendlesham UFO incident occurred my request does not relate specifically to this incident per se. I am aware the MOF file is available on the pub scheme on line but my request relates to a related occurrence not dealt with by the contents ofthis file.

My request is for copies oforiginal docs and any corespondence generated by MOD or related departments specific to the info listed below

Any info (documents papers logbooks)relating to the level ofalert status in force at RAFIUSAF tenated air bases in GB during 25- 30 Dee 1980 I

Copies of any papers, reports or correspondence generated relating to reports of aerial phenomina reported by the public, civ aircrew and MOD sources on the evening of25/12/80. My request relates to the re entry ofthe Russian Cosmos 749 rocket body shortly after 2100 on 25/12/80.

The mission of RAF FYLINGDALES is to provide Missile Warning, Space Surveiiiance and Air Defence capabilities to meet the operational requirements of UK, US and NATO Joint forces. Missile Warning - reflects our primary strategic role to provide early warning of Ballistic Missile attack against UK, US and NATO areas of interest.

Space Surveillance - reflects the key secondary role in providing satellite data In support of the Space Surveillance Network and our tertiary role to provide a Satellite Warning Service to UK forces.

Air Defence records the capability provided to the Air Surveillance and Control System by the Remote Radar Head at Staxton Wold

The mission statement does not suggest that we should strive to at the provision of these capabilities we take that for granted.

Rendlesham Forest UFO - the rocket re-entry

THE ROCKET RE-ENTRY 21.07

At on the evening of 1980 December 25 (i.e. a mere six hours before the supposed UFO ianding in Rendlesham Forest) the Russian Cosmos 749 rocket re-entered over north-west Europe and was widely reported as a UFO. A report on this re-entry can be found in the Journal of the British Astronomical Association (1981,vol. 91, page 561). It broke up during re-entry, and the last fragment is thought to have burnt out somewhere east of Clacton. Any surviving fragments would have fallen Into the North Sea, and hence have been unrecoverable. As far as I am aware, no fragments from this re-entry were ever detected on radar, but it is possible that the radar tapes were examined to see if anything did get through and this may explain some of the stories about radar checks that were later attributed to the Rendlesham Forest UFO.

In her 1998 book UFO Crash Landing?, Jenny Randles suggests that the NSA on Orford Ness had fired an energy beam into space to "jam the electronics on the Soviet military satellite and deflect its orbital path causing it to burn up in a controlled fashion". She names the source of this energy beam as a secret radar project called Cobra Mist. And in a subsequent book, The UFOs That Never Were, she goes on to claim that the flightpath of the incoming debris altered "as if something caused the trajectory to be deflected". Exciting stuff, if true. To assess the credibility of that idea requires some background information. Firstly, the object that re-entered was not what most people would think of as a ’real’satellite. It was in fact the upper stage of the carrier rocket that launched Cosmos 749 over five years earlier, in July 1975. (It is usual for the top stage of a launch rocket to go into orbit with the satellite, and is a major contributor to the amount of ’junk’in orbit). As such it was a dead, inert cylinder of metal, and there would have been no way to command it down even if anyone had wanted to do so. What’s more, the re-entry started 1,500 miles away over North Africa. The real Cosmos 749 satellite had in fact re-entered three months earlier, in September 1980. It was an electronic eavesdroppin9 satellite but it was not the type of satellite designed to be brought back to Earth, nor was it nuclear-powered. And the British Astronomical Association research paper referenced in paragraph one makes it clear that Jenny’s claim that the incoming object somehow changed course Is simply wrong.

Now for some information about Cobra Mist. It was an over-the-horizon radar and as such was designed to detect missiles coming from Russia and the eastern bloc over azimuths from 19.50 to 110.50 clockwise from true north, whereas Cosmos 749 came in from the southwest. What would have been needed here was not an over-the-horizon but an over-the-shoulder radar. According to FOIA documents made available on

http;ilwww.cufon.org/cufon/cobramst.htm the radar never worked successfully. It was closed at the end of June 1973, over seven years before the Rendlesham Forest UFO sighting, and the hardware dismantled. The closure was publicly announced by the MoD that same month (not 1983, as Jenny has it on page 189 of UFO Crash Landing).

Although the Cosmos 749 re-entry sparked a rash of UFO sightings that were reported on radio that night and could well have put the airmen at RAF Woodbridge on "UFO alert", there is no evidence to suggest that it had any other connection with the later events in Rendlesham Forest.
