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.

Among inventions of Henri Coanda was ?. lenticular aerodyne (flying saucer)
designed in 1935. Coanda effect (tendency of a moving jet of air or water

forward motion and to control aircraft. Although aerodyne was never built,
tests on critical portions of it were made in France and results indicate it is
practical.
