UFOs and Related Subjects (Lynn Catoe, 1969)

Stressing the need for establishment of a vigorous investi[,-ation program of the
UFO imenomenon, the author noted that close-range sightings of machine-like
objects of .unconventional nature and unconventional performance characteristics,
seen at low atlitudes, appeared to be occurring all over the globe, possibly with
increasing frequency. Suggestions that such observations can be explained
away in terms of meteorological optics or in terms of atmospheric plasmas
cannot be supported wlth cogent scientific arguments, he said. Talk given
Mar. 26, 1968, before the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics,
Los Angeles, Calif.

Noting that throughout the entire world only a small handful of scientists have
taken the trouble to attempt direct checks on the puzzling and recurrent reportr.;
of UFO phenomena, author presents evidence, based on personal investiga-
tion, to support his hypothesis that UFOs are extraterrestrial probes or
vehicles--products of some technology other than our own. He also reviPws
competitive hypotheses. Speech p!'esented Jan. 26, 1968, at a General Se'.ninar
