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.

Edwards, Frank. Censorship and UFOs. Fate, v. 12, Sept. 1959: 47-52.
Author gives examples of "latest techniques" for suppressing UFO reports:
(1) numerous conflicting solutions are offered tc cases which have been given
widespread publicity, thereby confusing the public; (2) pressure is applied to
officials of the agency employing an alleged witness to ask the witness to
keep quiet about UFO sighting; (3) Congressmen requesting available informa-
tion about the UFO phenomenon are given "a brush-off to the effect that
everything adds up to nothing. "
