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 following observations are considered important. (a) As seen at Table 1 the effects on a human of weak magnetic fields, used for the neurological experiments described, are uncannily similar to these reported by witnesses who have had 'close encounters' with a UAP. The effects experienced depend upon the phenomenological profile of the person. (b) If a human brain is affected in this particular way it seems logical that a UAP might be emitting similar levels of magnetic energy, since it produces the same effect on an observer. (c) In the wider context the alien', 'time lost', spaceship and other descriptions only ever occur when the observer is very close to the UAP implying that the human is probably within the UAP near-field and that magnetic (or electromagnetic) emissions are given off in which at least some fall within the energy levels given, at the point where they reach the observer. Clearly, if the observer is some distance away, to achieve an adequate level the signal source must be greater and attenuated by the time it magnetically couples with the subject. (d) A magnetic field is not the only emission from a UAP, as visible colour emissions are seen by observers at all distances and, on occasions heat is also reported. A spectrum of emissions is, reportedly, present during the medical experiments carried out. The magnetic field strengths used on the human volunteers, although low, had a dramatic effect. It seems likely that very much stronger source fields must emanate from UAPs if. - The memory effects last longer. - The magnetic energy is, reportedly, sufficient to disrupt electronic and electrical equipment, some metres from the UAP. 17. The magnetic field from a UAP could be directional (even highly so) hence relative aspect of an observer or equipment nearby, to peaks and nulls of magnetic field, might also determine the local effects. The orientation (left or right temporal lobes or both) of the humans to the received direction might be critical. 18. With reference to Table 1 it should be noted that these responses were obtained in a test chamber with zero visual stimulation. If the subject was confronted with a visual stimulation in the form of a nearby UAP it can easily be appreciated how the 25 responses listed could, however unwillingly, fit into an 'extra-terrestrial' scenario in the mind of the subject. It is clear that the effect could
