UFOs and Related Subjects (Lynn Catoe, 1969)

Transitions of UFOs from half-transparent to invisible state might be related
to creation of artificial gravity fields. Oberth "would bet 100 to one that some
of the ·contact persor..s are normal and have seen and experienoa:lsomething."

Interplanetarik. Wien, Europilischer-Verlag, 1961. p. 1-7.
After summarizing hypotheses that might explain the UFO phenomenon, the
author predicts that scientific institutions will enter seriously into UFO re-
search once the field has been more clearly defined so that it can be assigned
to the appropriate specialists and when enough evidence has been collected so
that the facts can no longer be denied or ridiculed.

Discussion of UFOs, their behavior and characteristics is followed by examples
of UFO sightings.· It is concluded that in the light of current scientific and
technological knowledge and research, they are too advanced to have been built
by man and must have been constructed by extraterrestrial beings especially
adapted biologically to space travel. Author urges serious research by the
scientific community and that official agencies make available all records in
their possession.

Survey of the UFO controversy and statement of the Air Force position: the

say is that no evidence has been received nor discovered which proves the ex-

"sightings" are also discussed.
