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.

Summarizing his position, the author states: (1) the UFO pl'oblem seems to be
a matter of great sclentUic interest: (2) machine-like objects--possibly extra-

high credibility; (3) UFO observatior.s are being made on a global scale indicat-
ing an international scientUic problem; (4) there has never been a thorough sci-
entific investigation of UFOs; (5) there is no convincing evidence of U.S. -::ovH-
up conspiracy ~rating to conceal true nature of UFO problem; (6) Condon
