Background
During a policy review in 1996, the Ministry of Defence initiated Project Condign to determine the value of UAP sighting reports received by British authorities. Defence Intelligence staff examined available data to ascertain whether unidentified aerial phenomena posed any threat to the United Kingdom. The secondary objective involved identifying potential military technologies of interest that might be derived from studying these anomalies. This classified program represented one of the most comprehensive government investigations into aerial phenomena conducted by British intelligence services, eventually producing the extensive Condign report released years later via freedom of information legislation.
