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, director of Aerial Phenom~na Research Organization, presents docu-
mented information to support theory that U-.:US are not only real, but are ex··
traterrestrial and unfriendly and that visit ...Jns follow a pattern indicating
military reconnaissance and biological and el'ological Arvey.

Authors report that 1967 brought an unprecedented number of UFO Jandings,
low-level hovering maneuvers, and landings with occupants visible. They
suggest that the almost constant u:n> activity from 1965 to the present indicatm
that close approaches of the planet to Mars to earth is no longeraQDBSaryfator
there are no longer cyclical recurrences of UFO activity peaks. An interpre-
tation of this might be that UFOs are interplanetary in origin and the occupants
have established bases close enough to earth so that long journeys are no longer
necessary, the authors say.

Stressing the need for establishment of a vigorous investigation program d the
UFO phenomenon, the author noted that close-range sightings of machine-like
objects of unconventional nature and unconventional performance characteris-
tics, seen atlow altitudes, appeared to be occurring all over the globe, pos-
sibly with increasing frequency. Suggestions that such observations can be ex-
plained away in terms of meteorologic:al optics or in terms of atmospheric
plasmo1.s cannot be supported with cogent scientific arguments, he said. Talk
given Mar. 26, 1968~ before the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astro-
nautics, Los Angeles. Calif.

Noting that throughout the entire world only a small handful of scientists have
taken the trouble to attempt direct checks on the puzzling and recurrent reports
of UFO phenomena, author presents evidence, based on personal Investigation,
to support his hypothesis that UFOs are extraterrestrial probes or vehicles --
products of some technology other than our own. He al~ ) reviews competitive
hypotheses. Speech presented Jan. 26, 1968, at a General Semir.ar of the
United Aircraft Research Laboratories, East Hartford, Conn.

In his statement, the author review• his experiences in interviewing UFO wit-
nesses in the U.S. and abroad and discusses ways in which his professional
experience in the field of atmospheric physics and meteorology assisted
past and present attempts to account for UFO phenomena. Presented at the
Symposium on Unidentified F1ying Objects, Committee on Science and Astro-
nautics, House of Representatives, July 29, 1968.
