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.

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 expe-
cially in the U.S. , from people of high credibility, can be adequately stedied,
using all methods available to modern science; and (2) that the U.S. seek the
r.ooperation of the United Nations in establishing a means for the impartial and
free interchange among nations of information about unidentified flying objects.
