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.

Poltergeist manifestations are believed by author to be due to p:·ofounJ cleavage
of personality in which part of the mental systerr. is "tern loC\Rc?, "like a dis-
embodied entity, but is still capable of personality development, as any
autonomous complex would be, though on a different, apparently fourth-
dimentional plane of activity.
Owen, A. R. G. Can we explain the polterg<~ist? New York, Garrett Publications,
1964. '36 p.
Various mutually exclusive possible approaches to the 'supernatural" at a
discussed. 'I'he viewpoint adopted for poltergeist happenings is that oi
regular naturalism, which seeks to explain phenomena in terms of procN;ses
which operate in conjuction with, and without nullifying, known laws of na::.Jre.
No evidence is found in poltergeist cases reviewed to support assumption
that any role is played by a discarnate entity or "spirit" other thwi at most
an extension of the personality of the "medium." Data suggest that polter-
geist activity is a ''psychic" phenomenon in the sense of being associated with
the higher human brain centers when these are not fully inhibited by sleep, iwr
deranged by epileptiform discharge, nor imperfectly developed as in mental
defect. The association with adolescence may be psychological rather than
directly physiological.

Account of apparent poltergeist phenomena accompanied by bouncing bluish <.r

----- The weeping angel prediction. Le.~• Angeles, Futura Press, 1964. 32 p.
An angel in a picture in Worthing, Enp,land is reported (1961) to "weep." Author
suggests that manifestation is a sign to humanity--comparable to sightings of
flying saucers--that "the One who is presenting the phenomenon ... will have
revealed himself to the i.:niverse through a process of nuclear evolution" by 1967.
