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.

within reach and which are believed to be able to support life of an advanced
form. Sint::e our present technology is perhaps inferior to that of others who
can communicate with us, it is suggested that our h:1·-.:;mitting station be used
solely, at least for the next hundred years or so, for responding to intelligent
messagea from outer space that have been detected.

Investigations and experimental data of Nikola Tesla, Guglielmo Marconi, and
D..:.vid Todd are presented. During the years 1899-1924 these experimental
scientists, working independently of each other, observer! laboratory dal:l and
related phenomena which suggested they wne monitoring interplanetary com-
munications. During the same period, the Russian theorist Konstantin
Tsiolkovsky deduced a model Gf an intelligence existing independently ofter-
restrial influence. Data are first brought together in an historical model (1899-
1924) and then are shown to be the natural complement of a current theoretical
model (1959-1962).
