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.

The following questions are considered: (1) What makes scientists so sure today that there is intelligent life in space? (2) Where do we locate such living beings? (3) Are they mor~ int~lligen•, just as, or less intelligent than we are 'i (4) How can we commuuicate with them, considering that they are likely to be completely differrnt from us, have a comp1.E>tely different kind of language, :and c\•en completely differ~nt patterns of t' ght 't Fuhs, Allen E.

Postulating that int~'lligent hfe exists in forms quite different from ours and is dispersed throughout the universe, the J.Uthor speculates on proceedings of a "cosmic Congress·· induding all kinds of "Saucerians. '' Delegates of every imaginable aspect--"not to speak of others defying terrestrial biological classification'' - -would compare their religious, moral, social, economic, and political ways of life. He P.xpresses hope that once the myth of a superior race was exploded, constants would appear in the various ways of life and points of view and all planetary thinking would become interplanetary in scope and scale. Gatland, Kenneth W. and Den·" D. Dempster. The inhabited universe. London, Alan Wingate, 1957. 182 p. The theme throughout the book is that evolution is constantly bringing new forms of life into existence and that creation is a continuous process. Man is depicted as the product, not merely !lf a limited biological development, but of an in- herent facet of cosnnc evolution. Gauroy, Pierre. Les mondes du ciel: terrc>s vivantes on cimetieres?

Speculation on man and 1.he universe. Pasadena, Calif., The Author, 1967. 11 p. Speculating that organic evolution throughout the uni'.'erse would lead to life first in the water and then on land, the author suggests the common later develop- ment of mi11d everywhere, because of the inevitable growth of organic complex- ity. We have to be ready to accept the emotional impact on our scheme of val- ues of accepting an odd extraterrestrial form of life as brother or sister. The green, three-eyed creatures of some di.slant world may have lived civilized lives for billions of years longer than there has been life on earth. If all are part of the common, natural evolution which concentrates into mind, we must expect them to be probably like ourselves, yet unimaginabiy differ~nt. 289
