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.

A pbl"nomenon is described that occurs ira the Indian Ocean and that has been
described by several eyewitnesses: a pulsating near-circular disturbance
roughly 1, 000-1, 500 feet in diameter is seen with streaks of light like the
beams of a st:archlight radiating from its center and .revolvin~ counter-
clockwise. Views are given supporting speculation that the Pvdkamennaya
Tunguska Meteorite of Central Siberia (190b) was in fact an exploded extra-·
~errestrial spacecraft.

In March 1966, three merchant ships in the Gulf of rnailand independently
observed the apparently unexplained phenomenon kMwn as the phosphorescent
wheel: bands of luminosity skimming across the surface, apparently radiating
from a cmtral bright source. The wheels can rotn.t€' in either direction and
there have been reports of two wheels, one above thE other, rotating in
opposite directions. Professor Kurt Kalle of Hamburg, authority on phosphores-
cent wheels, attributes the phenomenon to bioluminescence.
