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.

Edwards, Frank. Are our satellites bunting the saucers? Fate, v. 16, May 1963:
29-35.
Within the 24-month period following 1947-1948 appearance c1 UFOs in the re-
gion ol the South Pole, Argentina, Chile, Australia, France~ Great Britain,
the Ul!ited states, SWeden, and the Soviet Union sent expeditions to the A'ltarc-
tic. Tangible developments were (1) motion and still pictures of disc-shaped
objects that circled ships under Chilean commander Orrego; and (2) realiution
that objects presumably entered earth's atmosphere at polar regions for area-
son. On March 2, 1958, telemetry from Explorer satellites confirmed existence
mzone of intense radiation - Van Allen belt - encircling earth about 600 miles
out from equator. There 1s no such belt above either of the polar regions.

jects are Sr. Jose Bonilla, director of observatory at Zacatecas, Mexico;

----- Frank Edwards' report: an open forum on UFOs. Fate, v. 11, Aug. 1958:
75-81.
Author llDts and gives answers to questions which he thinks indicate what the
a-.rerage person wants to know about UFOs: (1) What are flying saucers? (2)
Have they landed? (3) What do they want? (4) Where do they come from? (5)
Why don't they contact us? (6) Why does the Air Force persist in ridiculing
those who report unidentified flying objects?

Discussion of the influence that the UFO phenomenon has had on the direction
of scientific research.
----- Frank Edwards' report: scientists and satellites. Fate, v. 11, Feb. 1958:
69-76.
Author says that the scientific community which, in 1957, ''derided, denounced
a.'ld dismissed" the possibility of a Soviet-launched earth satellite, is probably
just as misguided cu:rrently in negative attitude regarding the reality of fiying
saucers.

69.
