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.

Von Hoern~r, Sebastian. The general limits of space travel. Science, v. 137,
July 6, 1962: 18-23.
It is postulated that space travel, even in the most distant future, will be con-
fined to our own planetary system; a simila1· conclusion is said to apply to any
other civilization, no matter how advanced it may be. The only means of com-
munication between different civilizations thus seems to be electromagnetic
signals.
----- The search for signals from other civilizations. Scit.'nce, v. 134, Dec. 8,
1961: 1839-184g,
The search for extraterrestrial si!{nals from an intelligent source should be
guided by two estimates, one of the probable nature of such signals and the
other of the distance from which they might come. Three different types of
signals are considered: local broadcast, long-distance calls, and contacting
signals. The nature of the signals will be defined entirely by the purpose they
seri-e and by the most economical way to achieve this purpose. Several sets
of conclusions are drawn as to the type of civilizations sending signals, the
longevity of a technical civilization, and the nature of signals transmitted.
