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.

Editorial comment on Feb, 27, 1951, Look ma.gazine story quoting Dr. Urner
Liddel, chief of the nuclear physics branch of ONR as saying, "There is not
a single reliable report of an [UFO] observation which is not attributable
to the cosmic [ Skyhook] balloons. "
Wylie, C, C. Saucers elude astronomers. Science newsletter, v. 61, June 14,
1952: 3'15.
Author, professor of astronomy at the University ~f fowa, states that not
one "saucer" has been reported as the result of astl'0ncmical observation,
He ~ays the fact that each saucer has been reported frv:>.l only one point
suggests that most have been spots of reflected light.

Carl Jung, in Flying Saucers: A Modern M th of Things Seen in~
(!'few York, Harcourt Brace, l , asserts that UFOs are compensatory
images projected by the frightened. Wylie takes issue with some of the
Swiss psychiatrist's conclusions.
--- ·- UFOs: the sense and nonsense. Popular science, v. 190, Ma~:. 19ti7:
76-79.
!'l what he terms an "informal consensus" of scientific opinion, author
~ Jnsiders (1) the possible nature of UFOs ;;ighted but not explained, and
(2) whether reported sightings are evidence that alien beings are reaching
earth.
Young, John R. The negative universe. Fate, v. 11, Apr. 1958: 87-89,
Hypothesizes that intelligent beings may exist in a "negative universe" that
interpenetrates and coexistR with ours without our being conscious of it.
Suggests that this might explain poltergeist manifestations and flying saucers.
ORTHOTENY
Cleary-Baker, John, Leys, orthotenies, and the UFOs, BU:FORA journal and
bulletin, v. 2, Summer 1967: 6-7,
The author states that the attempt to link UFOs with a discredited archeologicl\.l
fallacy (the leys of Great Britain) and the abandoned orthoteny theory is to
hamper the real work of UFO investigators.
