Government Attic · 419 pages · text from the file's own layer

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.

After summarizing hypotheses that might explain the UFO phenomenon, the
author predicts that scientific institutions will enter seriously into UFO re-
search once the field has been more clearly defined so that it can be assigned
to the appropriate specialists and when enough evidence h:::.s been collected .so
that the facts can no longer be denied or ridic•1led.
