The 'Condign' Report is a major government study of UAP (in
America, "UFOs") by The British Ministry of Defence. It provided some of the
background material for my
Plasma Page.

this major study,

smaller PDF's and so I've created a better index showing what's actually in
each PDF file.
“What does all this stuff about flying saucers
amount to? What can it mean? What is the truth? Let me have a report at your
convenience”
W.S. Churchill 28th July 1952
‘That UAP exist is indisputable. The cause has never
before been credibly accounted for. The study correlates data over a 30 year
period with the better data covering a period of 10 years. The study makes a
conscious effort to take a strictly scientific approach. The conclusion is
that the following account for these sightings: 1) Misidentifications of man
made and natural phenomenon; 2) Reports of natural phenomenon, and 3)
Incidents of relatively rare phenomena that may be on the rise due to
natural changes and man made smoke and dust.’
No evidence of the objects being under any control
other than natural forces exists. Meteors and some lesser-known effects of
meteors are responsible for some UAP.
‘UAP have occurred throughout history and considerable
evidence exists to support the thesis that these events are due to physical,
electrical or magnetic phenomenon in the atmosphere, mesosphere and
ionosphere. The conditions for these (buoyant plasmas) to be formed and the
scientific rationale for sustaining them for significant periods is
incomplete or not fully understood.’
‘Occasionally, and possibly as the exception, a
field with undetermined characteristics can exist between buoyant plasmas in
loose formation to create an area from which the reflection of light does
not occur. This is often a triangular shape and can be hundreds of feet in
length.’
The close proximity to plasma fields can adversely
affect persons and vehicles. A (probably) modulated magnetic, electric or
electromagnetic (or even unknown field) appears to emanate from some
buoyant plasmas.
The Executive Summary re-emphasizes that a
relationship between plasmas and magnetic fields to UAPs was an unexpected
finding.
1. Conditions for the formation and duration of
meteor plasmas are not fully understood. Other types of plasmas might be
better-understood. For example:
(From Working Paper 19): Mukhavarev (Russia) states
that aerosols can accumulate electrical charges as occurs in
thunderclouds. A sustaining force (laser) can also move (and energize?)
such plasmas. Once this force is removed the dust falls under gravity.
So, the equilibrium of the charged particles in the medium (plasma) is
determined by external conditions. The aerosol cloud has a mass of
only a fraction of a gram, resulting in an absence of inertia that
accounts for the amazing accelerations and maneuverability of these
objects. They can be attracted to aircraft if within about 10 kilometers.
2. The study mentions (in bold) an unknown “light
absorbing” field that creates a false solid appearance between several
plasmas. This may actually be old news (though it’s unknown when this
information was publicly released). Check out the following Master’s
thesis (one paragraph of it):
Americans and the British are normally aligned on the
most significant global issues. The UFO topic is a curious exception – at
first glance. Why would the British release something like this without
somehow coordinating with their U.S. counterparts? It may be that there are
major cultural differences on this topic.
Americans have
been indoctrinated into a “flying saucer” culture. This began with 1930s
sci-fi (updated in the fifties) and has grown as both entertainment and
to-be-proven “fact” in the mind of the public. “Flying saucers” (I suspect)
have been used as a cover story. The belief, I suspect, hasn’t always been
discouraged by certain agencies for certain specific and general purposes.
We have over sixty years of indoctrination into this belief and there is a
very popular UFO Industry to keep things going. Our culture differs
radically from the Brits on UFOs. At the same time, the Air Force has stated
that about 3% of UFO reports are truly unexplainable. This position has yet
to be updated (because there is little to no public interest in a UFO explanation that does
not include space aliens). The British public is more open to other
explanations, it would seem.
If you suspect ‘Condign’ to be information warfare
(some do) it must be for very different
reasons than Americans would assume. You might even arrive at the conclusion
(as I did) that there is very little likelihood that the report is a
deception. But, to play Devil’s Advocate, ‘Condign’ could be an effort
to undermine the growing Exopolitics movement in England (which I believe is
a Doomsday cult), just to show an example of an imaginary motivation that
has nothing to do with the U.S. I think it makes sense to take the report at
face value until there’s a reason not to. So, there is no rift on "UFOs"/UAP
between the U.S. and England.

uap_vol3_pgs1to9.pdf
The third and final volume contains formerly-'Secret' radar data and is
heavily redacted. It includes its own index, preface, and Executive Summary.
This is a separate Executive Summary and contains data more
highly-classified than what could be included in the 'Restricted' (a
security classification) Executive Summary. This summary looks at collision
risk for aircraft, foreign military interest in UAP, and possible strategic
threats (and exotic possibilities).
uap_vol3_pgs10to20.pdf Chapter 1 Radar Detection Of UAPs In The UKADR
Interesting items regarding current flow in the atmosphere and possibility
of aircraft becoming 'charged' and encountering other charged bodies (page
4). Requirement of plasma to have a minimum electron density in order to be
detectable to radar, but other variables are discussed. Reflection is
dependant on the the radar operating wavelength and the irregularity of the
plasma (which sounds to me like phase cancellation). Plasma Cylinders &
Vortex Rings. Near field vs. far-field.
Summary of UKADGE radar performance against plasmas. A lot of this is
redacted, but a distinction is made between laboratory and atmospheric
plasmas. Overall, the small number of 'radar cases' is accounted for.
uap_vol3_pgs21to30.pdf Chapter 2 (page 8): Potential UAP Hazards To Aircraft
In short, it is highly advised that the greatest hazard to aircraft comes
from taking extreme evasive manoeuvres and that plasmas are rarer above
20,000 feet. Plasmas are less likely to be visible during the day and rarely
have a 'solid' appearance. A fatal accident might have occurred while flying
low and fast and then taking evasive action. Evasive action is the greatest
threat to aviation.
Chapter 3 (page 5): Potential For Exploitation Of UAP-Associated
Effects
One reason for this entire analysis was to look for military applications
for the phenomenon. Redacted content. Exotic vehicles are considered and the
arguments for and against are mentioned. Suggestion that mass-less life
could exist elsewhere in the universe and that “UFO” researchers have
attributed such life forms with a technological capability that can also be
explained with buoyant charged plasmas. Potential applications are redacted.
uap_vol3_pgs39to48.pdf Chapter 4: UAP Work In Other Countries
USSR, China, USA & Canada. Some interesting Russian studies are mentioned.
The USA is "concerned with the ever busy UFO publishing industry". (This
from the nation that gave the world Teletubbies!)
Annex A
Target Signature Control
Spherical Formations In The Atmosphere (Proposed Theory, Corona Discharge,
Shells)
Generation Of Plasma Formations
This section deals with a Russian project during the Cold War. It includes
Signature Control as a cloaking mechanism by modifying plasma ionisation.
Spherical Formation In The Atmosphere
A 1995 Russian review correlates spheres to human activity (missile
launches, atmospheric pollution). It mentions the size difference as
compared to ball lighting (with the spheres being much larger). Proposed
Theory: This is a mathematical formula. Anybody pass calculus?
Corona Discharge & Shells.
Summary: The Russian theory has distinct similarities to the UAP model
produced based on the UK database.
Why Nobody Cares About Plasma (or The Electric Universe)
I'm extremely impressed with all of the EU scientists. Many factors suggest
that they will proven correct that our Universe operates in large part based
on electrical interactions.
Public scientific belief (in America) is based on science fiction. We have a
great entertainment industry. This is why the American public will not
accept any "UFO" explanation from their government that does NOT includes
space aliens. So "the government" doesn't say anything. The belief
originated with 1930s sci-fi writers. Through the power of suggestion,
public sightings would later be reported that matched the fiction. This
happened in several waves, all of them first appearing as fiction.
Historically, it seems to take about 10 years for a new idea to sink in. Our
Space Program is based on the search for E.T. (as is a hugely expensive SETI
program). In fact, it may be known by some that
there could be life forms that we would not
even recognize as living things. Sell that idea to the public and see
what happens!
"Consider a couple quotes
(I may or may not have mentioned them previously, elsewhere):
"We see only what we know." ~Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe
"People only see what they are prepared to
see." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Perhaps science fiction simply plays the role of properly preparing the mind
to see additional truths?
IE, once the issue has been enumerated in science fiction and thoroughly
poetically explored, perhaps the mind will then be less reticent to accept
those things as assumptions for future mental exercises. In other words,
science fiction is in and of itself a "suspension of disbelief" and a
"tentative acceptance" of particular scenarios and world views not
necessarily widely in evidence in day-to-day life.
I think it's the suspension of disbelief and tentative acceptance that are
the key to side-stepping the usual lines of cynicism and disbelief that
accompany new or different ideas. An interesting concept. Hadn't considered
it from quite that angle before."
MGmirkin,
Thunderbolts Moderator
Suspension of disbelief
came, in the last century, from sci-fi writers and Hollywood movies. Then
you also have to add in the most important factor, the
power of suggestion. Humans are
highly susceptible to that. It can come from various sources - even the
beliefs of good scientists and engineers can be influenced by this. Such was
the case with "flying saucers". MUFON has a great many aerospace engineers.
They followed the above scenario.
EU theory did not originate in this manner. Neither is it in the public
mainstream or part of our Space Program. All of this also together suggests
that actual science (such as the Space Program) can be driven by a very
unscientific public.
