.It is intended that both the original request and answer will be released. Names

and addresses of requesters will be withheld.

Q6 What will be the most recent dates on released material under this initiative?

Material released over the coming years will include documents up to and including 2007.

Q7. Can you please provide a list of files it is intended to release?

I attach a list of those closed files the MoD will be releasing. You will note that the titles of a number of files have been partially redacted. This is because the titles contain the names of correspondents which are being withheld under exemption sAO (Personal Information) of the Freedom ofInformation Act 2000. Files A-Won series DIDAS/lO/2/8/13 are entitled "Information Management - Defence Information Management - The Freedom of Information Act - Requests for Information". However, for reasons of space, I have shortened the titles on the attached spreadsheet to "FOI Requests".

Q8. Will this planned release affect FOI requests for material which is intended for release?

All FOI requests will be considered on an individual basis, but the MoD will apply exemption s.22 (Information intended for Future Publication) if it deems it appropriate. As I am sure you will appreciate, the more time that is spent answering individual FOI requests, the longer the release programme will take.

Q9. Which files are intended for release in the first tranche and is there a provisional date for that release.

Currently a range of files are being reviewed and prepared for release. Until these administrative procedures have been completed and the Lord Chancellor’s Advisory Council has approved the necessary Lord Chancellor’s Instruments it is not possible to advise you which files will be released in the first tranche or to set a provisional date for their release.

If you are unhappy with this response or you wish to complain about any aspect ofthe handling of your request, then you should contact me in the first instance. If informal resolution is not possible and you are still dissatisfied then you may apply for an independent internal review by contacting the Director ofInformation Exploitation, 6th Floor, MOD Main Building, Whitehall, SWIA 2HB (e-mail [email protected]). Please note that any request for an internal review must be made within 40 working days of the date on which the attempt to reach informal resolution has come to an end.

If you remain unhappy following an internal review, you may take y ur complaint to the Information Commissioner under the provisions of Section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act. Please note that the Information Commissioner will not investigate the case until the internal review process has been completed. Further details ofthe role and powers of the Information Commissioner can be found on the Commissioner’s website, http://www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk.’’

of~e UFO shows a coppery dome shaped object with a light emanating from underneath, a~e moon clearly visible. The object seen by the other witnesses is described by them as an orangey yellow colour in two parts hovering above the trees, a few miles west of Ovington. This sighting was at 11.30pm, and several of the witnesses said they had never seen anything like it before.

Visit from the Military

Peter was visited in September by two military officials, who claimed to be from RAF prestwick. They briefly showed Peter some identification and asked many questions pertaining to the object he observed. They also asked for the negatives. However, I had the negatives at that time and so Peter gave them a copy of the photograph of the UFO. They were interested to know about the sound, movement and height of the object and the approximate distance from which Peter had observed it. The men spent over an hour with him and then went down to the golf course nearby, where they used binoculars and appeared to be looking around. Peter has since told me that both he and his daughter felt that their conversation was being taped.

Otterburn Army Range is in close proximity to Peter’s home and he and his daughter are used to seeing military activity around the area on a regular basis. Apparently there is going to be a large military base there in the future and there has been a great deal of objection to this from residents in the area.

This photograph will be forwarded to a photographic analysis consultant and I will give you an update on this when I receive his evaluation.

RELEASE OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT (UFo) AND AERIAL PHENOMENA (UAP) FILES

Issue

1. Proactive transfer to the National Archives of MOD files related to UFOs and UAPs.

Recommendation

2. That the Minister:

a. approves the transfer of UFO and UAP files held by DAS and DIS to the National Archives progressively over the next three years;

b. agrees that a formal press announcement should be made at the time the first files are transferred, planned to be in FebruaIV.2008 .

Timina

3. Rautine.

Backaround

4. Since the end of WW2, MOD has been tasked with recording and, from time to time, investigating UFO sightings. Contrary to what many members of the public may believe, MOD has no interest in the subject of extraterrestrial life forms visiting the UK, only in ensuring the integrity and security of UK airspace.

__ _ .- .{ Deleted: October this year


FOI re. TNA file release

FOI request for documents covering decision to release UFO files via The National Archives, announced in 2007

.5. DAS and DIS have some 160 files that deal with the subject of UFOs dating back to the 1970s. Of these, the majority contain correspondence with members of the public, with the next largest category being sighting reports. The remainder comprise PQ and Policy files and a small number of files that cover peripheral subjects. The majority of the information held on the 27 DIS files is likely to duplicate that held by DAS. DAS also holds a considerable number of files covering FOI requests and responses on the subject of UFOs which will also need to be released. In total over the course of the proposed 3 year programme, some 180 existing files will be released, with a further 20 new files being created over the same period, also requiring release at a future date

6. The files held by DAS and DIS are of keen interest to a large worldwide group of amateur and professional "ufologists". As a result, MOD receives a large number of, often complex, FOI requests each year for information regarding UFOs (DAS alone receiving 199 in 2005,140 in 2006 and 190 to date in 2007).

7. DIS has already made a written commitment to review its files for release in a response to an FOI request from an academic researcher. This, and the decision by the French National Centre for Space Studies to release their UFO files earlier this year, has increased the, already significant, press and internet speculation that we are about to release our own.

Benefits from publication

8. In addition to the clear presentational benefits in meeting public demand and expectation, release of the files would also smooth the workload on DIS and DAS. The processing of FOI requests on the subject of UFOs is becoming increasingly costly and time consuming, especially if the Departmenfs responses are challenged. The piecemeal release of information also fuels unhelpful speculation from those who believe there are issues that MOD are trying to hide. It is expected that within relatively few years, FOI requests on the subject will require the MOD to release virtually all its UFO files and it is considered beneficial that the release be managed in a structured manner.

9. It is not expected that the volume of requests about UFOs will significantly reduce (indeed, in the short term, press coverage may lead to an increase). However, section 22 of the FOI Act exempts from release information which public authorities have a ’’view to publication" at a future date. By making a clear commitment to publish these files, DAS and DIS can therefore stop responding reactively to requests as they are received and instead manage their effort in a more organised manner. Whilst the time scale over which we can claim exemption under s.22 has not yet been tested, it is believed that invoking the exemption on the basis that we will publish information sometime within the next three years would be inappropriate and pose presentational difficulties. Instead it is believed use of this exemption should be limited to those instances when it is planned to release the relevant information within a 12 month period.

.Mechanism of release

10. In order to maximise the presentational benefit, it would be preferable to publish the files on the internet using the MOD publication scheme. However, some 40% of the information in the files is correspondence from the public. This material is subject to the Copyright Designs and Patents Act (CDPA) 1988, which prohibits its publication on the internet. Publication of only the remainder of the information, not protected by copyright, would fuel accusations of a "cover-up" and undermine our presentational objectives.

11. It should be noted that the MoD has already placed two redacted files on the publication scheme together with a small number of non MoD documents. Although this move has been greeted with approval from ufologists, it may be never the iess be necessary to remove them in order to compiy with copyright obligations.

12. The alternative proposed is to transfer the files to The National Archives (TNA). Once transferred, the material would be "published" under the terms of the FOI Act, allowing MOD to refuse specific requests under section 22 and therefore to manage the files’ release in a structured manner. Transferred material would all be available electronically on demand through the TNA website, as there is a specific exemption in the CDPA to provide public records in this way, even when this includes material subject to copyright. It is unusual for files to be transferred to TNA so far in advance of the usual 30- year review point. However, it is assessed that the high level of public interest and lack of sensitive material in the files means that no precedent is set by their early release. Corporate Memory and TNA are content with our transfer plan. Although ’publication’ of the files to TNA does not provide the flexibility of using our own website, doing so still largely delivers the benefits set out above. However, it is important to note that unlike existing MoD practice, TNA will impose a charge of f:3.50 to view or download each file~

13. The majority of the files are of low security classification but include references to air defence matters, defence technology, relations with foreign powers and occasional uncomplimentary comments by staff or police officers about members of the public, which will need to be withheld in accordance with FOI principles. In particular, the PQ files will require considerable work before they can be transferred as they contain background notes for Ministers, but there is no reason, in principle, why they cannot be released and, indeed, a small number of background notes for pas have already been released under FOI. The MoD in aware of no clear evidence to prove or disprove the existence of aliens and consequently the files are considerably less exciting than the "industry" surrounding the UFO phenomena would like to believe.

14. The most cost effective solution is to scan the files (-f:13K), and purchase specialised redaction software (f:2K). It is estimated that with current staffing levels, it will take approximately three years to complete, with the release conducted around the continuing normal duties of both branches.

FOI re. Bromley UFO

FOI request for information on UFO sighting by the crew of a police helicopter over Bromley, Kent, on 17 November 2003

. few have survived before 1967 and these together with records up to 1986 are now available for public viewing. The National Archives can be contacted at Ruskin Avenue, Richmond, Kew, Surrey TW9 4DU or telephone, 020 8876 3444. The National Archives also have a web site giving information about the records they hold and how to access them. This can be found on the internet at: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk.

I hope this is helpful. If you are unhappy with this response or you wish to complain about any aspect of the handling of this request, then you should contact me in the first instance. If informal resolution is not possible and you are still dissatisfied then you may apply for an independent internal review by contacting the Director of Information Exploitation, 6th Floor, MOD Main Building, Whitehall SWIA 2HB (e-mail InfoXD(i:V,mod.uk). Please note that any request for an internal review must be made within 40 working days of the date on which the attempt to reach informal resolution has come to an end.

If you remain unhappy following an internal review, you may wish to take your complaint to the Information Commissioner under the provisions 50 of the Freedom of Information Act. Please note that the Information Commissioner will not investigate the case until the internal review process has been completed. Further details of the role and powers of the Information Commissioner can be found on the Commissioner’s website, httn:/ /www.informationcommissioner. gov.uk.

. .BACKGROUND NOTE - PO TABLED BY LORD HILL-NORTON JAN 011. ... Lord Hill-Norton has tabled XXX PQs on the subject of material contained in a book by Georgina Bruni published in November 2000 and MOD handling of material relating to ’UFOs’.

Miss Bruni’s book, "You can’t tell the people" concerns a well known ’UFO’ incident alleged to have occurred in Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk over the Christmas period in 1980 in the vicinity of

two RAF bases at that time on lease to the USAF, RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge.

2. The subject of the incident said to have taken place in Rendlesham Forest came to prominence in

1983 when a memorandum sent to MOD shortly after the event by the then Deputy Base

Commander, Lt Col Charles Halt USAF, was unearthed in the US by researchers. The Halt

memorandum describes the alleged incident in some detail and is reprinted in the book where

claims are also made that USAF personnel met and communicated with "beings". The book

accuses the UK establishment of a .cover-up. to hide the detail of the alleged event in Rendlesham Forest. Text of correspondence on the subject between a retired Chief of Defence Staff, Lord Hill- Norton, and a previous MOD Minister is reprinted in the book.

3. MOD’s interest in ’UFO’s’ is limited to whether alleged sightings might have any defence significance; namely, if they provide evidence that the United Kingdom’s airspace may have been

compromised by hostile or unauthorised air activity. Unless there is corroborating evidence to

suggest that the UK’s airspace may have been compromised. MOD does not investigate or seek to

provide a precise explanation for each of the ’UFO’ letters and reported sightings received each year. MOD believes that rational explanations, such as aircraft lights or natural phenomena, could

be found for most of the sightings. However, it is not the function of MOD to provide this kind of

aerial identification service and resources are not diverted for this purpose.

.BACKGROUND NOTE

1. ... Lord Hill-Norton has tabled five other PQs on the subject of material ~ed in a book by Georgina Bruni published in November 2000 and MOD handling of material relating to ’UFOs’. Three are being answered by MOD, one by the Home Office and one is to be answered by (DERA). Miss Bruni’s book, "Yau can’t tell the people" concerns a well known ’UFO’ incident alleged to have occurred in Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk over the Christmas period in 1980 in the vicinity of two RAF bases at that time on lease to the USAF, RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge.

2. The subject of the incident said to have taken place in Rendlesham Forest came to prominence in 1983 when a memorandum sent to MOD shortly after the event by the then Deputy Base Commander, Lt Col Charles Halt USAF, was unearthed in the US by researchers. The Hah memorandum describes the alleged incident in some detail and is reprinted in the book where claims are also made that USAF personnel met and communicated with "beings". The book accuses the UK establishment of a "cover-up" to hide the detail of the alleged event in Rendlesham Forest. Text of correspondence on the subject between a retired Chief of Defence Stat’( Lord Hill- Norton, and a previous MOD Minister is reprinted in the book.

3. MOD’s interest in ’UFO’s’ is limited to whether alleged sightings might have any defence significance; namely, if they provide evidence that the United Kingdom’s airspace may have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised air activity. Unless there is corroborating evidence to suggest that the UK’s airspace may have been compromised, MOD does not investigate or seek to provide a precise explanation for each of the ’UFO’ letters and reported sightings received each year. MOD believes that rational explanations, such as aircraft lights or natural phenomena, could be found for most of the sightings. However, it is not the function of MOD to provide this kind of aerial identification service and resources are not diverted for this purpose.

LORDS WRITTEN

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they are aware of any investigation of the 1980 Rendlesham Forest incident carried out by the United States Air Force, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations or any other United States agency. (Ill..322)


The Ministry of Defence’s knowledge of an investigation by the US authorities into the alleged incident in Rendlesham Forest in 1980 is limited to the information contained in the memorandwn sent by Lt Col Halt USAF, Deputy Base Commander at RAF Woodbridge, to the RAF Liaison Officer at RAF Bentwaters on 13 January 1981.

Question: To ask HMG whether they are aware of any investigation of the 1980 Rendlesham Forest incident carried out by the United States Air Force, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations or any other United States agency.

Answer: "The only evidence of investigation by the US authorities into tbe aDeged incident in

Rendlesham Forest in 1980 of which MOD is aware is contained in the memorandum sent by Lt Col Halt USAF, Deputy Base Commander at RAF Woodbridge, to the RAF Liaison Officer atKAF Bentwaters on 13 January 1981."

(Insert for PQ 0355L - Background material)The MOD file on the alleged incident in Rendlesbam Forest in 1980 (DISec(AS)/t:z!1/1) claims to have been opened as a registered file on 25 October 1982. However. as Sec(AS) did not exist until towards the end of 1984, or early in 1985 it is impossible to be certa~n when the file was actually created. An examination of the file that took place in 1998 confll’llled that many of the papers it contained had been removed from their original location. The file cannot, therefore, be regarded with any degree of certainty as a full record of all papers available to MOD on the event tbat ever uisted. A meDtlon iD a file note written October 1983 to an unclassified USAF report is likely to be a reference to the "Halt memorandum" (AnDex). The handwritten note also records that the US authorities did not carry out investigatioDs (coDducting interviews of personnel) but left MOD to carry out any inquiries it felt necessary.

When the Ministry of Defence was informed ofthe events which are alleged to have occurred at Rendlesham Forest in December 1980, aU available substantiated evidence was looked at in the usual manner by those within the MODIRAF with responsibility for air defence matters. The judgement was that there was no indication that a breach of tbe United Kingdom’s air

defences bad occurred on tbe nights in question. As tbere was no evidence to substantiate an

event of defence concern no further investigation into the matter was necessary.

MOD believes that rational explanations, such as aircraft lights or natural phenomena, could be found for most ofthe sightings. However, it is not the function of MOD to provide this kind of

aerial identification service and resources are not diverted for this purpose.

Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt: Lord Gilbert: 1 al11 ad\’ised that the a~be~tos Memorandum identified at the Camberley site presems no threat to

health if left undi~turbed, It~ ,emm’al would be required if buildings were to be demolished, which was the case when the JSCSC was to ha\’e been based at Camberley, At that stage it was estimated that survey and removal together would cost no more than (87K, The presence of asbestos was not the reason for exploring a PFI solution for the JSCSe. Until a decision is reached on the future use of the Camberley ~ite, it is not clear whether action will be needed to deal with the asbestos. It remains our intention to identify a fitting and appropriate military use for the historic Staff College building at Camberley and work is currently under way to this end,

Although the Jl\Iluary 1995 Consultative Document did not consider greenfield sites for the permanent JSCSC, for the reasons given in paragraph 9 of the Document, the two funher Consultative Documents of March 1996 and July 1996 indicated, inter alia, that interim arrangements wou Id last for two years, that proposals for the permanent site would be dealt with separately, and that work in hand "to determine the best way of providing (a permanent JScsq, un a site yet to be identified, inclndes a development under Private Finance Initiative (PF/) arrangements", Since then, the trades unions have been informed of the choice of a PFI Preferred Bidder and provided with extracts from the Invitation To Negotiate which are currently under discussion, [n accordance with normal procedures, staff will be consulted again. aner a contract has been placed, about the possible transfer alT.ngements for civilian staff working at interim sites,

The anticipated t01a1 cost of the JSCSC in its interim accommodation is approximately (70 million over the period 1996-97 to 1999-2000. Th required completion date for the permanent JSCSC. as given in the publisbed Statement of Requirement, is September J 999,

The estimated total, undiscounted and VAT inclusive, cost of tbe PFI contract over a 30-year period is approximately (500 million at current prices. This information was widely reponed at the time of the announcement of the Preferred Bidder, and given out in aoother place on 26 February in response to a specific question. This estimate excludes the ongoing costs of MoD-provided teaching and directing staff of around () 0 minion per annum. The last time that Greenwich costs were subjected to

formal assessment was around the end of 1994. The results of this assessment were published in the Consultative Document of January 1995. These showed the Greenwich option, leaving aside the cost of providing the necessary married accommodation, to be more than 25 per cent. more expensive than the Camberley option. There is no evidence to suggest that, if the costs of the Greenwich option were revisited, they would prove anything other than significaotly. more expensive than both the Camberley option and the Preferred Shrivenham Bid submitted in the course of the PFI competition.

->; ;4:.Lord Hill-Norton asked Her Majesty’s Govel11ment: Whether the Ministry of Defence replied to the

1981 memorandum from Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt, which reported the presence of an unidentified craft that had landed in close proximity to RAF Bentw8ters and RAF Woodbridge, witnessed by United States Air Force personnel; and if not, why not; ani! How the radi’ltion readings reponed to the Ministry

of Defence by Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt in bis memorandum dated 13 January 1981 compare to the normal levels of background radiation in Rendelsham Forest.Lord Gilbert: The memorandum, which reported

observations of unusual lights in the sky, was assessed by staff in the MoD responsible for air defence matters. Since the. judgment was that it contained nothing of defence slgmficance. no lurther action was taken.

There is no record of any official assessment of the radiation readings reponed by Lieutenant Colonel Halt. From a Defence perspective some 161 years after the alleged events. there is no requirement to carry out such an assessment now.

Joint Services Command and Staff College

Lord Kennel asked Her Majesty’s Government: Whether Ihe site at Camberley, in favour of which

the Greenwich site was rejected for the JSCSC, is to be cleared of asbestos. and, if so, at what cost; why was the presence of asbestos not ascenained before plans to move the JSCSC there were finalised and then changed; and what plans do tbe Ministry of Defence have for the Camberley site once it has been cleared of asbestos; and Why, given that the consultation document on the

future location of the. JSCSC that was issued in .

January 1995 did not address the possibility of setting the college up on a greenfield site, there has been nO consultation on the Shrivenham option; and What is the anticipated total cost of the interim

accommodation for the JSCSC until the work on Shrivenham is completed, and what date is being required for completion; and

Whether the anticipated overall cost to the taxpayer of the PFr scheme currently being considered for the new site of the JSCSC will be declared to Parliament; and

Further to the Written Answers by Lord Gilbert on 21 July (WA 147-148) on the future of the Joint Services Command and Staff College (JSCSC), whether apan from the provision of married accommodation, the Greenwich site would be at least (200 million cheaper than accommodation at the proposed greenfield site at Shrivenham; and whether the cost of the Shrivenham site is expected to be around fSoo million.

1. Early in the r.~rning of 27 Dee 80 (approxima~e1y 0300L), two USAF security police patrolmen Sa\1 nusual 1 ights outside the back gat~ ~t RAF ~Ioodbridge. Thinking an aircraft might have ’cra~~ or been. f t’c,,:! "

The on-riuty fl ight chief responded and allowed three patrolme~ to p:’o- ceed on foot. The individuals reported seeing a strange glOI.ling object in the fOI-est. The object was described as being meta1ic in appeal-ance and triangular in shape, approximatelyh/o to three met rs across the base and approximately hlo meters high. It illuminated the entire fCI"eH with a white light. The object itself had a pulsing red light on top and a bank(s) of blue lights underneath. The object l’las ho’.’ering or on le:;s. As the patl"olmeo approached the object, it manellvel"ed throU"f1 the tre~s and disapp: red. At this time the animals on a nearby farm \1cr.t into frenzy. ’The object \’i S briefly sighted approximate y n hour latH o:!:r the back gate:
