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.

presents the plans of the different factions for receiving or initiating communi-
cation.

Author suggests that space probes from extra-galactic civilizations may
already be within earth's atmosphere. He points out that this type of attempt
at communication may be more feasible than radio signals sent over inter-
stellar distances since it eliminates the need for ingenuity in selecting a
star and correct wavelength and can give a more powerful signal than a
home-based transmitter.
