FOREWORD
The subjed of unidentified flying objects is a popular phenomenon of the period from
1947, evoking widl',Jpread speculation, and producing a literature of great variety and
scope. This body of literature and documentation is source material for readers seek-
ing better understanding of this question, which has involved the U.S. Air Force as
well as other official groups.
This is believed to be the most comprehensive bibliography published to date on
the subject, and includes the extensive UFO collection of the Library of Congress, as
well as related material useful in understanding the nab;.re of the question.
The bibliography was produced by the Library's Division of Science and Technology
with support provided by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, a Wlit of the
Office of Aerospace Research, the research agency of the U.S. Air Force.
The bibliographer is Miss Lynn E. Catoe, who also collected the books, journal
articles, pamphlets, conference proceedings, tapes, original manuscripts, and other
material listed here, a total of more than 1, 600 items.
This literature survey was requested by AFOOR to assist a scientific research
project at the University of Colorado under the direction of Dr. Edward U. Condon on
unidentified flying objects. The research began 1 November 1966, and has been
carried out with support provided by AFOSR at the direction of the Secretary of the
Air Force under contract F4_4620-67-C-0035. The preparation of the bibliography was
accomplished under AFOSR project orders 67-0002 and 68-0003.
