This is Volume 2 of the Ministry of Defence report 'Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Air Defence Region', Defence Intelligence Staff Scientific and Technical Memorandum 55/2/00, dated February 2000 and received 7 December 2000. It gathers 25 working papers on natural and man-made phenomena, meant as a reference for analysing UAP reports. The papers cover ball lightning, radar detection, balloons, satellites, mirages, plasma and similar subjects. One paper compares magnetic field experiments on human volunteers with close encounter reports. It concludes that effects from such fields are 'uncannily similar' to what witnesses describe.

# UNCLASSIFIED UK RESTRICTED - RECTANGLE/DIAMOND As for Figures 30-35,but where the viewing angle changes the spacing to form diamond/rhomboid patterns As for Figures 30- 35 ## BOOMERANG/ARC As can be seen (Vol.1 Tables 1 and 2) certain combinations of shapes and lights can be attributed to definite causes. Shapes and lights are the initial key to filtering the known from the inexplicable. Little is gained in analysis of purely descriptive unknown shapes and lights reports unless further information, such as imagery, correlation from multiple witnesses, or data from which to obtain angles, sizes, sounds, smells, or velocities is available. For the purposes of the database it was necessary to identify the whole range of shapes frequently reported. It is of course inevitable that these are due to a whole range of different underlying phenomena, described in the other working papers in this Volume.
