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.

An anthr~csophist convinced of spiritual relationship between the cosmos and earth, autltor postulates tha' while UFOs are real pt.enomena, they are not spacecraft ~.rom other p!anetE.; the spreading of sensational news about their appearanc~s may be considered a largP.-scale diverting maneuver by advers'.! spiritual forr.es to distract mankind from task of spiritual development. Walsh, William T. Our Lady of Fatima. New York, Macmillan, 1947. 227 p. RADAR 'Ibree shepherd children from Serra da Aire, Portugal, reported six times in 1917 that they had seen a circular globe of light descend from the heavens and had spoken with a lady--later thought to be the Virgin Mary--who had stepped from inside it. Browning, Keith A. and David Atlas. Velocity characteristics of some clear-air dot angels. Journal of the atmospt.eric sciences, v. 23, Sept. 1966: 592-604. Nat'.1re of the targets responsible for cel'tain clear-air dot angel echoes, and their suitability as winu tracers, are deduced from pulse Doppler radar obser- vations of their velocity characteristics. Edwards, Frank. Frank Edwards' report: Have UFOs learned to outwit radar? Fate, v. 12, Dec. 1959: 50-55. Sightings of UFOs flying either very high or very low may indicate radar de- t<:?ction evasion maneuvers. Glover, Kenneth M., Kenneth R. Hardy, Thomas G. Konrad, W. N. Sullivan, and A. S. Michaels. Radar observations of insects in free flight. Science, v. 154, Nov. 25, 1966: 967-972. It is concluded that the mysterious discrete "dot angel" echoes observed from invisible targets in the apparently clear atmosphere are, in large measure, due to insects. Klass, Philip. That was no saucer, that was an echo. Aviation week, v. 59, July 20, 195.l: 26, 28, 30. CAA study of unidentified radar plots is reported as showing that the spurious targets are caused by radar energy which ricochets off small atmosphei-lc areas, strikes the ground, and returns an echo via the same path. These iso- lated refracting 'l.reas are normally found under temperature inversion condi- tions an~ travel with the wind, giving moving-target indications on radar scopes. 156
