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.

from multi-dimensional worlds, with differing motives is foreseen in John B.
Harris' Meteor; John Wyndham's And the Walls Came Tumbling Down; and
and Donald Wandrei's The Blinding Shadows.
