The Earth's magnetotail dynamics shows several features that resemble those of a complex system. Here, after a brief review of some recent results and findings pointing towards the occurrence of dynamical complexity, we introduce a simple fully stochastic model for the statistical features of the magnetic field fluctuations in a quiet magnetotail plasma sheet. A comparison between the model prediction and observed small scale magnetic field fluctuations is presented for a case study using GEOTAIL measurements. Furthermore, some physical implications of the relevance of stochasticity in the plasma sheet and central plasma sheet regions are drown and discussed in terms of multiscale coherent structures in pressure equilibrium.
