Brief

On May 15, 2006, the UK Ministry of Defence released the previously SECRET-classified Condign Report under the Freedom of Information Act. The report was a 400-page study commissioned by the Defence Intelligence Staff (DI55) and conducted between 1997 and 2000, assessing the air-defence implications of unidentified aerial phenomena over UK airspace. The report drew on UK Ministry of Defence UAP report holdings collected over decades. It concluded that UAPs are real, that some events may involve atmospheric plasma phenomena imperfectly understood by science, and that no UAP encountered to date had displayed hostile intent, while recommending that defence intelligence continue to monitor the topic. The report was the first SECRET-classified MoD UAP study released to the public and is catalogued in the DEFE 24 series at The National Archives.
