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.

13. Elsewhere in the world concentrations of events occur at 20 prime general locations. These, include France, Belgium and Scandinavia - all which have airspace adjacent to the UKADR 14. Hence, reports are sometimes received of UAPs entering from, or leaving towards these nations. Only NE Italy and Spain are among the other NATO nations reporting large numbers of sightings (although these are not shared or reported through official channels to UK MOD). ## AIR CONTAMINATION 15. It is postulated by some plasma and other atmospheric researchers that the presence of particles (from whatever sources), as well as the introduction of various industrial gases, will affect the conditions for the formation of atmospheric plasmas. This is considered further in the relevant Working Papers principally Number 19. It is noted, in passing, that those nations with higher atmospheric dust-producing conditions(e.g. Volcanic and Earthquake Regions), reportedly have a high incidence of UAP reports. Further, if this theory is true, one would expect to find more UK reports at, or close to, centres of the older smoke or gas producing industries and possibly nearer to areas such as airports where exhaust particles of various types are likely to be in higher concentration.
