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 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.
