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 be sufficiently vivid as to be so real to the witness(es) concerned to warrant a UAP report to the authorities. In 20 out of 25 instances the reports due to the magnetic fields in the test chamber tally with effects felt and reported during close proximity to a UAP. Close encounters are infrequent; witnesses at greater distances do not report these effects. It seems logical to conclude that they are at a range where the field energy is negligible. If the effect is caused purely by a magnetic field, then it seems likely that the field exists between the UAP and earth, with the flux lines 'leaking' to earth sensibly mostly beneath the object, with some fringing effects. ## COMPARISON WITH THE EARTH'S NATURAL MAGNETIC FIELD 19. Working Paper No. 12 briefly reports on the natural magnetic field to which every citizen is exposed. It is noted that this amounts (average at mid latitude for the UKADR) to a gamma field value of about 48,850. [Also expressed as 0.485 Gauss or 48,500n Tesla]. Hence, as noted at para 4 above, the bio-magnetic field was only 100nT (i.e. nearly 500 times less than the natural field). The key observation is that although very weak in comparison, unlike the earth's field, the experimental field was pulsed/rotated. It therefore seems possible that fields produced by one or more plasma types listed at paragraph 1, above and for example, a plasma conceptually produced by a meteor may radiate. It may also 'pulse' (though, of course, not necessarily at the same rate observed visually; where witnesses very close to UAP events often report 'pulsating lights' and even 'pulsating sounds').
