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.

In a letter published in the Warminster Journal (June 4, 1965), amateur
geologist and naturalist David Holton wrote that recorded instances of
phenomenon consisting of pe:-sistent "whirrings," humming sounds, and
vibrations of several degrees of intensity were occurring at places which when
linked, formed "straight lines" on the map and that three of these lines
passed through Warminster (England) itself. He also told how a number of
witnesses to whom he had spoken about the noise also had fleeting glimpses
of a luminous object overhead.
