UFOs and Related Subjects (Lynn Catoe, 1969)

Contributions to knowledge of distant gn.iaxies by radioastronomy are reviewed
and followed by a discussion of modes of travel beyond the solar system. After
postulating there are other habitable non-solar planets, author discusses trans-
mission of coded messages and the analysis of messages received, and suggests
that a sequence of prime numbers be boti1 sent and listened for over the period
of centuries, not fiscal years.

Press, 1967. 256 p.
Poetulating that earth's traditional cosmic isolationism is ending, the author
discusses the implications of ch:rnges that are port~nded. He speculates on
the effect that the landing of "Xtraterrestrial spacecraft will have on man's
concept of reality, his civilL::1tion, institutions, way of life, and mannt'r of
thinking and acting.

If modern theories about the formation of stars are cCJrrect, probably the great
majority of stars have planets around them. On at least some of these, life
may have evolved in a bem•ficent realm oi light ar.d liquid water and in an at-
mosphere of oxygen and nitrogen to a level as high and perhaps much higher,
than the highest life ·1mown on earth. Communication with intellii;ent bdngs
of planets of other sta!'s would be almost impossible because of the distance
involved.

It is pointed out that once we can comprehend and admit that there could be an
intelligence Ruperior to our own, it requires very little furl::er thought to ap-
preciate the difficulty of communication. Of the various types of apparently
extraterrestrial beings visiting earth, it could be significant that they appear
not only incap,i.ble of contact with us but there is no evidence of their contact-
ing each other.

Author gives details of sounds and voices that he has recorded on tape and be-
lieves to be extraterrestrial.

Author states that prevailing cosmological theory and laboratory experiments
support the hypothesis that life exists outside earth's solar system. Elech·o-
magnetic signaling seems to be the only means now at our disposal for :ittempt-
ing to communicate with any extraterrestrial intelligence that may exist. Met.h-
ods for communicating and receiving such signals, and speculation as to the
type of message an extraterrestrial might transmit are reviewed.
