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.

Lorenzer\ Coral E. The great flying saucer hoax; the UFO facts and their interpre- tation. New York, William-Frederick Press, for the Aerial Phenomena Re- search Organization of Tl.:~so.~.- Ariz., 1962. 257 p. 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. Lorenzen, Coral and Jim Lorenzen. UFOs over the Americ:as. New York, Signet Books, The New American Library, 1968. 254 p. 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. McDonald, James E. Are UFOs extraterrestrial surveillance craft? Tucson, Ariz., The Author, 1968. 4 p. 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. ----- Science, technology, and UFOs. Tucson, Ar~zona, The Author, 1968. 14 p. 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.
