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.

Special Report No. 14. [3rd ed., rev. and enl.] Ramsey, N. J,, Ramsey-
Wallace Corp., 1966. 84 p.
Author states that throughout its investigation of UFO phenomena, USAF has
withheld information, photographs, and other evidence it has amassed. He
suggests that full text of Project Blue Book Special Report No. 14 (analysis
of reports of unidentified aerial objects}--an offset copy dated May 5, 1955
is in the appendix--prol.Jably was not made readily available to the public
because in 20% to 30% of cases in main study, oriGin of objects sighted was
declared unknown. He also points out that the report did not discuss whether
or not there was evidence to prove or disprove that UFOs might be extra-
terrestrial objects or devices. First and second editions published by
author (White Plains, 1956, 1957).
