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.

Assuming that there are inhabited planets, some of which are technically far
ahead of us and may have achieved space travel long ago, article postulates
that fundamental sμace-travel requirements would be basically the same

An objective review of major hypotheses on origin of UFOs leads author to
conclude that (1) all sightings cannot lJe attributed to conventional causes;
(2) existence of alien intelligence must be considered; (3) extreme caution must
be used in developing lattel' hypothesis because of phenomenon's complexity.

Taking into consider:..tion all enumerated characteristics uf UFOs, the
probability is sugge~t.ed that they represent hitherto unknown type of animal
life indigenous to e; ri.h's ionosphere. Their bodies are postulated as being
hollow, composed of a minimum of dense matter, and charged with electricity.
It is also suggested that these creatures could be something like a "missing
link" between organic and inorganic life and that this is the reason they
give a machine-like impression.
