Analyze UAP sightings and assess their threat to national security
The MOD had been receiving copies of UFO sighting reports from SECAS for about 30 years and had never really looked at them in any great detail.
Nick Pope's assertion that he kick-started the discussions about formulating the Condyn report is not true; there were at least two other attempts to discuss it that failed due to lack of funding.
The Condyn report was commissioned in 1996, long after Nick Pope had moved on from his position.
The Condyn report concluded that many sightings could be explained as misreporting of man-made vehicles or natural phenomena.
The MOD's interest in UAPs was largely driven by public interest and media sensationalism.
The Condyn report's author, Ron Hado, had a personal interest in the subject and had previously experienced a UFO sighting.
