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.

Davidson, Leon. ECM +CIA=' UFO. FlyJng saucer review, v. 6, Mar. Apr.
1960: 9-12.
Author p01:;tnlates that UFO r:.henomena are created by the CIA as part of the
cold war and explains techniques that could be •.ts~d to produce "authentic"
radar sightings of U!"Os.
An open lettel' to saucer researchers. Flying saucers, no. FS-24,
Mar. 1962: 36-51.
Author states what he believes to be the true explanation of the UFO phenom-
enon: "The Central Intelligence Agency ... took over the public image of the
'flying saucer' created by secret flights of U.S. aircraft and artificial meteor
research, etc., during the period 1947-48. By W50, the CIA had set in motion
a plan encouraging public belief in interplanetary travel through a psycho-
logical technique of 1:.uiding the release of planted information, ordering se-
cret tests of authentic military developments whi.ch gave misleading :lmpres-
sic:'s to observers, etr.. CIA delegated the Air Force to act as the official
"investigator" to stave off public inquiry. It secredy sponsored the formation
of saucer study groups and contact clubs, including NICAP ... The CIA set up
many saucer publishers, sponsored the publicizing of Adamski's books and
others, and sponsored the wave of saucer articles in 1952 in 'Life' and 'Look,'
etc. The CIA also condttcted the hoaxes played upon Adamski and Fry, in-
cluding Adamski's desert contacts, his 'train disappearance,' etc. , in ad-
dition to other activities of this nature.
Why I believe Adamski. Flying saucers, Feb, 1959: 38-46.
Author postulates that the C. I. A. or its subsidiaries were involved in
"causing" the Adamski contacts, and that the extraterrestrial "Brothers"
were agents or operatives of these agencies. Adamski, subject of a CIA-
engineered hoax, was honestly and sincerely reporting what he was told,
the author believes.
Why I believe Adamski. Flying saucer review, v. 6, Jan. - Feb. 1960:
3-8.
Author suggests that Adamski was sincere in his reports of ~ontact with
extraterrestrial spacecraft and their crews but was victim of deception
perpetrated by CIA as a mo\e in the cold war.

minutes before the document ·vas dt:ciassified. It is suggested that vital

by extraterrestrial spacecraft may have been withheld for strategic
l'easons.
