Abstract
A study is made of the errors and incorrect interpretations involved in anomalous spots from atmospheric and ground objects on radar screens. Features are given for identifying areas from objects with anomalous characteristics. Conditions are considered for radio visibility of plasma anomalous objects, together with the scope for recognizing them with radars of various types working in various ranges.
