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 postulates that reevaluation of the UFO phenomenon is needed:
"Blanket terms, such as the 'space people' need to be eliminated, and
careful attention }Xlid not only to the invisible animals that fly in our
air, but to the various orders of beings who either visit us or who have
their natural habitat in invisible domains surrounding and interpenetrating
our own."
Jessup, Morris K. The case for the UFO, unidentified flying objects. Introd. by
Frank Edwards. New York, Citadel Press, 1955. 239 p.
Author analyzes and correlates many JXU'anormal phenomena of scientific re-
cord and theorizes that objects such as stones, ice, water, colored rain, or-
ganic matter, living organisms, and vegatable matter that have fallen to earth
from the heav£ns come from intelligently operated extraterrestrial spacecraft
or are in some way formed, guided, or influenced by the operators of such
SJXlCecraft.

In this sequel to The Case for the UFO, the author further develops the theory
that paranormal phenomena, when collat~d and analyzed, support belief in the
existence of intelligence functioning in space. He suggests that UFOs may be
a sentient animal life form that originated on earth aeons ago but which now
lives naturally in open space.

been under periodic observation from another planet, or other planets, for at
least two centuries; (2) this observation suddenly increased in 1947 following
the series of A-bomb explosions begun in 1945; (3) the observation, now inter-
mittent, is part of a long-range survey and will continue indefinitely.
