Detection of negative daemons, DArk Electric Matter Objects, viz. Planckian supermassive (~2*10^-5 g) particles, whose population has been detected in March 2000 to populate near-Earth, almost circular, heliocentric orbits (NEACHOs), is being continued. The NEACHO objects hit the Earth with a velocity ~10-15 km/s. The results of these and new experiments (April-June, 2001) are now processed taking into account the scintillation shape depending on the magnitude and sign of the velocity of the daemons crossing our detector. The data accumulated during the time of the experiment and processed in this way reveal also the presence of (1) a high-velocity (~35-50 km/s) daemon population whose objects can be related to a population in the Galactic disk and/or that in strongly elongated, Earth-crossing heliocentric orbits (SEECHOs), as well as (2) a low-velocity (~3-10 km/s) population in geocentric Earth-surface-crossing orbits (GESCOs), whose objects traverse repeatedly the Earth to suffer a decrease in velocity by ~30-40% in a month in the process. An evolutionary relation between all these three (four?) populations is discussed. Assumptions concerning their manifestations in further observations are put forward. An analysis of possible interaction processes of daemons, which may have different velocities and directions of motion, with the detector components [ZnS(Ag) layers, 0.3-mm thick tinned-iron sheets etc.] on the atomic (emission of Auger electrons) and nuclear (nucleon evaporation from a nucleus excited in the capture and, subsequently, the decay of its protons) levels has permitted estimation of some characteristic times. In particular, the decay time of a daemon-containing proton is ~10^-6 s.
