Project Condign was the code name for a classified UK government study on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), conducted from 1997 to 2000.
Project Condign was a study by the UK's Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS) on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) within UK airspace. The report, titled *Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Air Defence Region*, was based on approximately 10,000 sightings and reports collected by DI55, a unit within the Defence Intelligence Staff. The report was roughly 400–460 pages long, according to various sources.
The report was completed in December 2000, after being classified, and was released to the public in May 2006. According to secondary summaries of the report, the UK Ministry of Defence found no evidence that the phenomena were hostile or controlled by any entity. Later sources also attributed to the report the possibility that plasma-like natural phenomena explained some of the sightings; this is a claim summarized in the media, and not an official, current position of the Ministry of Defence based on the information provided.
A British government record confirms that DI55's work on UFOs led to the Condign Report in December 2000. The government information provided confirms the report's existence and production but does not support an extraterrestrial or hostile explanation.
