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.

Gibbs-Smith, Charles H. Flying saucers. The queen, v. 202, Nov. 17, 1954: 64.
A discussion by the well-known aeronautical his~orian of the UFO phenomenon.
He states that one can rule out UFOs as being foreign aircraft and secret wea-
pons and speculates that techniques may have been achieved in some other civ-
ilization in the universe th~~ surmount matter and time as we know them--
techniques no more startling for- such a civilization than flying and radio appear
ta our civilization on earth.

propelled luminous objects with behavior identical to that of UFOs.

Hynek, chairman of the department of astronomy at Northwestern lJniv. and
consultant to USAF's Project Blue Book, states that of the 15,000 cases of UFO
sightings that have come to his attention, "several hundred are puzzling, and

illustrative examples and urges a serious inquiry into the nature of the
phenomenon.
