UFOs The report concluded that UFOs had an observable presence that was “indisputable”, but also that no evidence has been found to suggest they are "hostile or under any type of control". According to its author/s the majority of analyzed UFO sightings can be explained by the misidentification of common objects such as aircraft and balloons, while the remaining unexplainable reports were most likely the result of supranormal meteorological phenomena not fully understood by modern science. The Condign report suggests that further research into "novel military applications" of this
plasma phenomenon is warranted, and that "the implications have already been briefed to the relevant MoD technology managers." The report also notes that scientists in the former
Soviet Union have identified the close connection between the '
UFO Phenomena' and Plasma technologies," and are "pursuing related techniques for potential military purposes."
Close encounters The report described people who believed themselves to have had close encounters as being convinced of what they said that they had seen or experienced, but also as not representing proof that such encounters were real. It attributed a number of cases to the “close proximity of plasma related fields” which it said could “adversely affect a vehicle or person". ==Reaction==
