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.

Simpson, George G. The nonprevalence of humanoids. Science, v. 143, Feb, 21, 1964: 769-775. States following conclusions: (1) there are certainly no humanoids elsewhere in the solar system of which earth is !Xlrt; (2) there is probably no extra- terrestrial life in the solar system of which earth is part, but the possibility is not wholly excluded as regards Mars; (3) there probably are forms of life on other planetary systems somewhere in the universe, but if so it is unlikely that we can learn anything whatever about them, even as to the bare fact of their real existence; (4) it is extremely improbable that such ~orms of life include humanoids, and apparently nearly as impossible that we could ever comm·1nicate with them in a meaningful and useful way if they did exist.
