UFOs and Related Subjects (Lynn Catoe, 1969)

In setting up a scientific im·esti~ation into the UFO phenomenon, it is suggested
that the foHowing steps be takt-n: (1) cancellation of unnecesmrysecurity restric-
tions; (2) a systematic rather than haphazud search for UFO appearances; (3)
use of the most effective detection methods available; (4) determination of the
best locations to set up detection instruments; (5) use of a conver~ent pr()('Pdure
to alert given areas of a possible UFO sighting; {6) distribution of available
equipment and trained observers iu reasonable proportions in different areas;
(71 consideration of effect the search procec:b1re might have on the searthed
object.
