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.

Noting 'the way in which the "beings" associated with the 1897 "airship" sightings
seemed ~nteres.tcd in reinforcing the belief that the craft was of mundane origin,
the author concludes that the extraterrestrials either were engaged in some un-
known activity in which they did not want their real iden•ity made known, or that
they chose to hide their existence realizing that the comparative unsophistica-
tion of nineteenth century Americans would not permit them to accept the inter -
planetary answer.
