It's contained within several hundred MB of files downloadable free from the National Archives for the next month. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/609.htm


The following is from the 397kB Highlights Guide to the set. The file of DEFE 24/2035/1, which will contain images of the report, among many others, is 28.7MB.


Mork and Mindy visit East Dulwich.

DEFE 24/2035/1, p217-18, contains an account of ?some lights, formed in a worm shape, wriggling around in the sky? that were seen in the sky by a woman and her daughter from East Dulwich, London, in the early hours of 10 January 2003. The pair became concerned about ?a possible terrorist attack? and phoned police who sent officers to the address. The following day the older woman called MoD and told the UFO desk officer the two PCs were joined by two men in ?space suits, with dark glasses who called themselves Mork and Mindy?these men told her not to look at the object because of possible radiation and they carried a transmitter which kept clicking.? They asked her not to talk to anyone in case of panic and offered to wash their eyes with a solution. Police told MoD they sent two ordinary PCs to the address but ?they could not see anything in the sky and concluded it was possibly a reflection of a star and a street light in her window.? In a letter dated 21 January 2003 the woman says ?your men have fed us with a lot of rubbish, presumably to make us look foolish and our story unbelievable, which they have succeeded in doing.?

I'm taking the liberty of posting copies of a letter in the file from the woman, the sole item from her directly, and an MOD note. I'll leave them up for a few days. It may at least save the NA server some work. The other stuff is just a letter to her from the MOD and internal emails confirming no military activity in the area. I'm thinking it possible that there may have been an element of some police officers 'having a larf'.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
