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.

Author presents evidence to support his belief that UFOs are extraterrestrial
and that they have visited earth for millenia.

Discusses three questions important in UFO research: (1) where do they ..~om~
from? (2) who crews them? (3) why are the~r coming?

Author says he can categorically state that there is no evidence which leads
one to doubt the physical laws of motion and inertia. or to believe in
interplanetary travel at this time. All relia.bly reported UFO incidents can be
fully explained when sufficient scientific data are provided. Most of the
incidents are the result of reflection, refraction, meteors and meteor trails,
and diffraction.

Healing Publishing Co, , 1966, 31 p.
Author says reports do not ring true of flying saucers landing in the desert,
nor do claims of their origin on oth~r planets, existence of cr~atures of higher
evolutionary development, and their bringing knowledge to the human race to
save it from disaster. He suggests that the whole story '1as the earmarks of
the diabolical.

General summary of the various aspects of the UFO controversy. Author
states that although evidence he has ~athered over a fifteen year period would
tend to support the extraterrestrial l1ypothesis, it is still an hypothesis.

Authors report that 1967 brought an unprecedented number of UFO landings,
low-level hovering maneuvers, and landings with occupants visible.
They suggest that the almost constant UFO activity from 1965 to the present
indicates that close approaches of the planet to Mars to earth is no longer a
factor; there are no longer cyclical recurrences of UFO activity peaks.
An interpretation of this might be that UFOs are interplanetary in origin
and the occupants have established bases close enough to earth so that long
journeys are no longer necessary, the authors say.
