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.

Conce,;iion <'f Sv-,nte Arrhenius that Hee can be carried fror.o one planet to
another: Germs swept away by a&cending air curreits which carry them to
thie limits of the atmostJlei·e are repelled by the electrieallv charged rust
that has penetrated there, coming from suns that have driven it away by the
repelling pressure of their radiation, After they ha\•e arrived in SJBCe
they attach themselves to some straying grains of dust of greater dimensions
than theirs and which are cons<!C{uf:ntly capable of obeying the attraction of a
neighboring planet rataer ttnr. the repelling force of radiation; they then penetrate
into the atmosphere of this new μlanet and bring life to it, if life has not yet
developed t~l?re.

Speculative investigation of possibilities of life on ether planets: nearest and
best-known planets are compared with earth; hypothetical planets similar to
earth but with one or another feqture ali.ered in some mP.nner are examined
in order to predict how familiar living things might be affected; life on earth
is evaluated to determine which chancterlstics may be regarded as universal
under certain circumstances and which are special; and imaginative efforts of
speculative writers to conceive and describe creatures different from those
known to us on earth are presented.

Assuming life to exist on other planets of the billion solar systems now
