Government Attic · 419 pages · text from the file's own layer

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.

MIRAGES
The first four references are among the most useful standard texts on physical
meteorology. All contain adequately detailed treatment of the general theory of
mirages.

Discusses the rarely seen mirage caused by refraction ol light through an
elevated layer of warm air. The optical effects of such layers have often been
invoked to explain UFO sightings. This article clarifies the severe restrictions
on elevation angle at which such mirages are possible.
