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.

Author establishes concept that the other stars and star systems have :i;Janets and that some of these p~anets are fohabitab!e. He postulates that life thereon is less advanced than that of earth. Radar communication in the "gafactic club'' is a fact, but not from intelligent source, however, we should be alert for sig- nals. It is speculated that sufficiently highly developed stellar communities are common but that contacting them, or ih: reverse, would be a matter of chance. Bracewell, Ronald N. Radio signals from other planets. Jn Cameron, A.G. W., ed Interstellar communication. New York, W. A. Benjamin, Inc., 1963. p. 199- 200. The most suitable microwave frequency to be searched for intelligent signals from other planets is considered. There are, however, reasons for not using 1,420 Mc or other microwave frequencies, if the distance to the nearest com- munity more advanced thall our own is 100 light-years rather than the Hl light- years investigated by Project Ozma.

Sketches are shown on strange creatures who may represent what creatures on other inhabited planets look like. Explanation is made that although grotesque by earth standards, they could develop this way in response to different envi- ronments of other worlds. P~oject Ozma, th~ radio-telescope search for life on other worlds, is discussed. Briggs, Michael H. Other astronomers in the universe? Southern stars, v. 18, Sept. 1960: 147-151. Author considers problems raised by the hypothesis that some cosmic radio signals are intelligently produced. ----- Superior galactic communities. Spaceflight, v. 3, May 1961: 109-110. Autnor suggests that if there are intelligent extraterrestrials on planets in this galaxy, they may be scientifically and technologically advanced enough to know of both earth and of man as an intelligent life form. Attempt by them to estab- lish contact might be by radio !rlillsmissions, space probes, and emission of radiation in the far infrared. Cade, C. Maxwell. Communicating with life in space. Discovery, v. 24, Mayl963: 36-41. Methods of communication with intelligent extraterrestrial life and the impli- cations of contact are considered. Establishment of contact with a superior race could lead to extermination of the human race. It is probable that intel- ligent life wculd tend toward the center of the galaxy because of the higher prob- ability of contacting life th,~re. ----- A long, cool look at alien intelligences: Part II -- modes of communication. Flying saucer review, v. 13, July-Aug. 1967: 15-17. 270
