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.

Hickman, Warren and Eric Turner. Report from Ohio Northern. Fate, v. 6, Oct. 1953: 21-25. Highlights from analysis of the 54 UFO sightings reported to Ohio Northern University's Project A are: (1) the objects fly with a pe~~iar step-like pattern of flight, moving in a horizoni.al path, then risinJ! n ... rtically, then moving hori- zontally again, in a series of steps; (2} i.rained observers who have been close to the "saucers" state they are material objects; (3) they are disc-like in shape and their domes give of! w1 amber light. At night the color seems reddish. 'lbe rest of the disc is silver-colored c ~cept for a hazy blue light around the edges; (4) observers only yards from the objects sighted have ruled 01Jt explanations of light reflection, cloud formation, ionization, and similar theories. Hynek, J. Allen. The scientific problem posed by unidentified flying objects. Evans- ion, Ill., The Author, 1968. 15 p. Author makes the following recommendations: (1) that a mechanism be set up whereby the problem posed by the reports from all over the world, but especial- ly in the U.S. , from people of high credibility, can be adequately studied, using all methods available to modern science; and (2) that the U.S. seek the coopera- tion of the United Nations in establishing a means for the impartial and free in- terchange among nations of information about unidentified flying objects.

Playboy, v. 14, D~c. 1967: 144-146, 267, 269-271. Author says that from what "hard" information he has, the U.S. S. R. may have lx>en studyini; the UFO phenomenon with dispassionate thoroughness for years; the U. S. is only now beginning to consid~r treating the problem seriously.

Repurt on founding in Home of l 'Associ.azione Italiana Avvistatori Spaziali which proposes to scientifically study the UFC ~henomenon and to serve as an inter- national clearinghouse for UFO information. Keel, John. UFOs--the statistical problem. Flying saucers, Aug. 1968: 18-19. Author states that random UFO sighting reports do not provide data of sufficient depth or ''keye to the many hidden factors" of the pher.omenon. He suggests that UFO researchers revise their approach to the subject and "search for new and possibly illogical (by our standards) clues buried in the more controversial cases." Kor, Peter.
