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 atmosphere. While there are errors which are superimposed on the global model, in the UAP context it is just possible that the high density measurements of field strengths in certain areas may contribute either singly or in combination with other factors to produce UAP. The associated solar phenomena (solar flux and sun-spots) are considered at Working Paper No 16. [1] British Geological Survey, Edinburgh [2] Persinger is Referenced at Working Paper No 25, together with the results of his experiments on the human response to modulated magnetic fields, which are of prime importance to the overall findings of this study. ## COMPARISON WITH MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS 8. A comparison of the national UK earth magnetic values at Working Paper No. 25 with those used by Persniger and others, in their medical experiments, has shown that the key difference between the experimental field which produces human responses and descriptions of experiences surprisingly like those of close encounter UFO/UAP reports; are those of modulation. It is noted that the modulated experimental amplitude values used by Persinger, and which cause the surprising effects on humans, are only approx. 1/500 of the steady field level experienced daily in the UK.
