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.

Its preface concludes that no simple, single explanation of the UFO phenomenon applies to all cases.

Clark, Jerome. A contact claim. Flying saucer review, v. 11, Jan. -Feb. 1965:
30-32.
Noting the way in which the "beingR" associated with the 1897 "airship" sightings
seemed interested in reinforcing the belief that the craft was of mundane origin,
the author concludes that the extraterrestrials either were engaged in some
unknown activity in which they did not want their real identity made known, or
that they chose to hide their existence realizing that the comparative un-
sophistication of nineteenth century Americans wonld not permit them to
accept the interplanetary answer.
----- The meaning of contact. Flying saucer revi~w, v. 11, Sept, -Oct. 1965:
28-29.
Speculating that the UFO beings might put a false cover over their activities
so as to keep officialdom or anyone else fro~ coming close to the truth, the
author suggests that contac' claims become a tool with a two-fold purpose:
to discourage legitimate inquiry into the saucer field by making it look
ridiculous, and to instill false ideas into the minds of those who do go to
investigate the subject.

Peru and describes the "ufonauts" observed.
