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.

Public pronouncements justifying the space programs or both the u. S. and the
U.S. s. R. are inadequate, states the author. He speeulaies that the real
reasons very likely involve the UFO phenomenon.

On June 12, 1960, a sonk boom was heard in Quebec City, Canada. At about
the same time, a fiery object fell out of the sky, splitting into two pieces, both
of which fell into the St. Lawrence River about 20 mi. upriver from Quebec City
and were later recovered. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated the unidenti-
fied objects consisted of a metallic face-centered cubic compound, with a
unit-cell dimension agreeing with those of austenitic steel and meteor!c iron.
The semi-quantitative spectrographic analysis showed there was insufficient
nickel present for the material to be of meteoric origin; the subjrct was
considered to be of terrestrial origin. Subsequent laboratory experiments
on the metal by Wilbur B. Smith and co-workers resulted in a number of
unusual reactions not consistent with the normal behavior of terrestrial metal.
