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 says that in the abs~ncr. cf a more plausible explanation, one might
asst.me that UFOs are "flying machines" that (1) are not built by human
beings; (2) fly by means of artificial gravity fields; arid (3) produce high-
tension electric cha11ges to push the air out of their paths so that it does
not start glowing, and strong magnetic fields to interact with ionized air at
higher altitudes. Transitions of UFOs from half-transJlll'ent to invisible
state might be related to creation of artiUcial gravity fields, Oberth "would
bet 100 to one that some of the contact persons arP. normal and hs.ve seen and
experienced something, "

Author st1tE:s that flying saucers are possibly manned by intelligent observers
who are members of a race that may have be~n investigating earth for cen-
turies and that they passibly have been sent lo conduct systematic, long-
range invP.stigations, first of men, animali:. and vegetation, and more recently
of atomic centers, armaments, and centers of armament production.

Author suggests that the most logical origin for flying saPrers is our own
earth and that the hollow earth theury, which suggest the interior of the
earth is poJX!lated by a highly evolved race w\th great technological skill,
merits serious attention.
