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.

v. 7, Nov. -Dec. 1961: 12-15.
Arguments are advanced on the possibility of life existing i:hroughout the
galaxy; ways in which man can attemr..t: to detect it positively are suggested.
It is also mentioned that the Tungusita "meteorite" of 1908 may have been an
exploded extraterrestrial spacecraft.

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.
