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.

DESIGN Brooks, Angus. Remarkable sighting near Dorset coast. Flying saucer review, v. 14, Jan. -Feb. 1968: 3-4. Re}X)rt of UFO observed Oct. 26, 1967, at Moinge Downs, between Weymouth and Lulworth Cove, Dorset, England. In "hover" }X)sition, object consisted of four "fuselages" at equidistant position ru:ound a central chamber. Further construction details 8re given. Fry, Daniel W. Steps to the stars. Lakemont, Ga., CSA Publishers, 1956. 83 p. The 00.sic physical concepts underly!ng the construction and operation of a vehicle that could undertake interplanetary travel are discussed. Is this the real flying saucer? Look, v. 19, June 14 , 1955: 44-46. Design study for a flying-saucer f";hter prepared for Look by Republic Aviation Corp. engineer Thomas Turner. Sketches indicate appearance of a craft that would fulfill following requirements: (1) ability to take off and land vertically: (2) high speed of over Mach 2.; (3) high rate of climb; (4) excellent maneuverability; (5) heavy armament; (6) ability to operate at 60, 000 ft. Schroeder, W. Only 4 hours to reach the moon. Flying saucer review, v. 4, Jan. -Feb. 1958: 12-14. Author considers ideal design for spacecraft that could travel outside earth's atmosphere and concludes that (1) it must be circular; (2) it must have the rocket motor on top and the remainder of the structure underneath; and (3) the lower parts must be wider than the upper ones and have a hole in the middle for unobstructed flow from the rocket motor. He says UFOs fit this description because the design consideration applies universally. ~:anley, Neil and Chester S. Geier. The flying saucer jigsaw puzzle. Fate, v. 1, Fall 1948: 101-104. Speculates that possible reason for different sizes and shapes of observed flying discs is that they are specialized units that fit together like a jigs·~w puzzle to compose a complete unit. Advantages of fragmentation would l>e (1) greater speed and functioning efficiency; (2) protection against loss~ and (3) greater ease and safety in landing. Winder, R.H. B. Comrm'!nt on the Angus Brooks sighting. Flying saucer review, v. 14, Jan. -Feb. 1968: 4-5, Speculating on the reason for the crosslike configuration during hover of the UFO seen over England Oct. 2b, 19il7, by Angus Brooks, author suggests observations or measurements demandin;;; instruments located at thE:: four corners of a square or requirin~ two or four linear devices (possibly antennae), intersecting at right angles. 74
