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.

The author explains the basic cori~epts of inferior and superior mirages.

1961, p;.:i. 64-98.
A classical work in the field. Wood, a gifted experimentalist, produced
mirages in the laboratory by heating sand-covered iron plates. His careful
measurements are witness to the essential validity of present-day mirage
theory.

Even under unusual meteorological conditions, mirages only take place at
angles very near the horizon. This report presents graphs and nomograms for
determining the angles under which mirages can be seen. Drawings and graphs
are given to scale.
