Government Attic · 419 pages · text from the file's own layer
This is Government Attic's posting of a 1969 Library of Congress annotated bibliography, UFOs and Related Subjects, compiled by Lynn E. Catoe for the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. The Defense Technical Information Center released it under FOIA in November 2014. The bibliography lists more than 1,600 items and was requested to support the University of Colorado UFO study led by Edward U. Condon. Its preface concludes that no simple, single explanation of the UFO phenomenon applies to all cases.

I have sought to include items of scholarly interest and intent, and to make the
bibliography as useful as possible for both scholars and general readers interested
in the subject. The principal difficulties in achieving completeness are the great
volume of UFO and UFO-related literature, and the fact that much of it is privately
published and of limited distribution.
Scientific theory of today often becomes fact tomorrow. The line between the
possible and the impossible is arbitrary. Many misconceptions pass for information.
One day, perhaps within our time, out of all the contradictions surrounding the UFO
phenomenon, man may discover to his complete satisfaction its exact nature and
origin.
