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.

tion of images; (6) anxiety; (7) flying saucer cult; (8) rumor and propaganda.

Communication with an extraterrestrial bting through a psychic medium has
caused Oberth to adopt this view: there is a soul which outlives the body; this
world serves as a training-gro11nd for the soul; the soul will continue life (on
a planet where conditions are in keeping with its degree of development) after
death.
