1 - The Black Vault

• 30
years ie January
2005. I will recall
from PRO to see
whether early
release is possible,
but I again suspect
that it will be
identical to other
files containing
reports from the
public.

between this one and the one listed next. I
cannot identify from records here relevant
series of numbers.
UFO Policy & policy statements (Pt B- opened
4 Dec 1979
~
At the time of the PQ December 1998 a trawl
was made through the most appropriate
records stored at Hayes for files relating to
UFOs (search was in effect limited to 5ec(AS)
and predecessors branch files). A large
number of files were identified.):
File: AF/419
BBC2 Man Alive Programme- UFOs Dec 71
~ File: AF/S4f(a)/422
UFOs BBC Radio Oxford Programme Dec72
.?, File: AF 447 Pt 1

DR Note: Currently DR should be reviewing
records at the second review stage dating
from the mid-1970s. It follows that it would
appear that the absence of some of these
files from the PRO catalogue and their
absence from the various review and
cataloguing processes in GSY suggests that
they have been overlooked for review! This is
being investigated.
