From 9 March 2023 my postings will move Substack where my domain is DrClarke.substack.com
My first Substack post examines the recent UFO and spy balloon shoot-downs over North America in the context of the long history of covert aerial reconnaissance that dates back to the early years of the Cold War.
drdavidclarke.co.uk will continue to host new free content. It will also provide access to some of my most popular archive pages and past posts that date back to 2011.
Initially access to my new Substack content will be free for my valued followers and subscribers.
But in due course I intend to introduce an optional paid for subscription that will include access to more regular updates plus some additional features that I am working on.
Please support my investigations, research and writing by subscribing!
