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 rocket news letter, v. 3, June 1950: 2-7. Reprint of a!l address given before the Chicago Assn. of News Broadcasters on Apr. 16, 1950. Author states belief that fiying disks are real. If best authen- ticated reports are correct, performance characteristics are beyond current earth aircraft techn.:>logy and one must conclude they are of extraterrestrial origin.
