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.

Ribera, At.tonio. "Bavic" in the Iberian peninsula. Flying saucer review, v. 9,
Sept. -Oct. 1963: 30-32.
Evidence is presented that confirms statements made about global orthoteny
and the Bayonne-Vichy line which Aime Michel discovered and illustrated in
~.is book, Flying Saucers and the Straight Line Mystery (New York, Criterion
Books, 1958). "Ba\'i.c" consisted of six UFO sighting points over France:
Bayonne, Lencouacq, Tulle, Ussel, Gelles, and Vichy, and the incidents all
occurred on Sept. 24, 1954. Michel later discovered that his line could be
further extended until it encircled the globe. Author's verification is of
the Spanish stretch of·· Bavic."
