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.

Dagenis, Arleigh J. Do you believe in flying saucers? Michigan technic, Jan. 1960:
16-17, 50-51.
Author summarizes details of June 1947 sighting by Kenneth Arnold of flyin~
disc-shaped objeds; the January 1948 crash of Capt. Mantell while chasing a
UFO; and the June 1952 appearance of mysterious l)bjects over the White House
and Capitol. He reviews the various explanatory theories.
Edwards, Frank. Are our satellites hunting the saucers? Fate, v. 16, May 1963:
29-35.
Within the 24-month period following 1947-1948 appearance of UFOs in the re-
gion of the South Pole, Argentina, Chile, Austr.;lia, F1·ance, Great Britain,
the United States, Sweden, and the Soviet Union sent expeditions to the Antarctic.
Tangible developments were (1) motion and still pictures of disc-shaped ob~ects
that circled ships under Chilean commander Orrego; and (2) realization tl•:it ob-
jects presumably entered earth's atmosphere at polar r1o>gions for a reason. On
March 2, 1958, telemetry from Explorer satellites confirmed existence of zone
of intense radiation - Van \lien belt - encircling earth about 6JO miles out from
equator. There- is no such belt above either of the polar regions.
