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.

Mett'ors and atmospheric phenomena have often been mistaken for fiyjng sau-
cers. Plasmas re.tembl~ flying saucers have been synthesized in the labora-
tory. However, none of these phenomena have features that even remotely re-
semble the "portholes'' described bl many alleged sightings. Presence of port-
holes would then preclude a meteoric or other "natural'' explanation for a UFO
sighting.

phenomena.

Postulates five possible explanations of flying saucers: (1) they are space ships
piloted by intelligent beings from somewhere else in the universe; (2) they are
space animals which live in space; (3) they are natural phenomena such as ag-
gregations of electrons, or some other kind of energy which we di ot under-
stand; (4) they originate on earth and are man-made; (5) they a1 Jucinatfons ..
