Government Attic · 419 pages · text from the file's own layer
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.

de quelques phenomenes etranges. Phenomenes spatiaux, June 1967: 2-4.
Observed UFO behavior and phenomena associated with sightings are explained
by theory of a controlled magnetic field that serves as a means of propulsion.
----- Une consk, Flying Saucers from Outer Space. Cites conclu-
sions of Canadian geomagnetic engineer Wilbur B. Smith that it is possiLle to
produce a magnetic "sink'' within the earth's field; that is, a region into which
magnetic flux v:ill flow at a controlled rate, giving up some of its potential
energy iH the pro~ess. Smith noted that most of the descriptions of flying sau.-
cers are in accordance with the design which wol'ld be necessa:~y to exploit the
properties of a ''magnetic sink."
