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.

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
of the United Aircraft Research Laboratories, East Hartford, Conn.

In his statement, the author reviews his experiences in interviewing UFO
witnesses in the U.S. and abroad and discusses ways in which his p!'ofessional
experience in the field of atmospheric physics and metorology illuminates the
past and present attempts ta account for UFO phenomen:J. Presented at the
Symposium on Unidentified Flying Objects, Committee on Science and
Astronautics, House of nepresentatives, July 29, 1968.

Author states his belief that the extraterrestrial-origin hypothesis for the
UFO phenomenon must be given serious scientific attention. He points out
that most arguments against feasibility of interstellar travel are couched
in terms of present-day scientific knowledge and technology,
