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.

Menzel, Donald H. Life in the universe. [ n.p., 1965] 219 p. The chances of finding intelligent life within our own solar system are discus- sed Md it is concluded th~t they appear "vanishingly small. " It is suggested that the Milky Way might contain up to a million planets inhabited by intelligent life; however, the chances are that the nearest such inhabited planet is so far away that if we were to send out a radio signal, we should have to wait 2,000 years for the reply.

Extra-terrestrial intelligence and stellar evolution. New York, Institute of the Aerospace Sciences, 1963. 16 p. (IA.:; Paper no. 63-49) Author postulates that in view of modern theories on the origin of the solar sys- tem, it is reasonable to conclude that all stars like the sun that are not binary systems are the centers of i.lanetary systems like our own. Analysis of the role that d~nsity distribution in the original solar nebula and the solar tidal action and turbulence played in th·~ formation of the planets leads to the con- clusion that in each of the stellar planetary systems there are planets like the earth, Mars, and Venus that are capa·ole of supporting intelligent life.
