Government Attic · 419 pages · text from the file's own layer

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.

Summary of known cases where UFO sightings were accompanied by electro-
magnetic }ilenomena: interference with radio and television sets; dimmed
headlights and sWled motor car engines; and power and light failures. Account
taken from (Xlper read by author at the Ballarat (Australia) Astronomical
Society's 1965 conference.

1963. 60 p. (Rand Corp. Memorandum RM-3724-ARPA.)
Memorandum describes nature of cert.ain hissing sounds and electromagnetic
effects associated with the passage of very bright meteors or fireballs and
discusses their possible origin from the standpoint of atmospneric electricity
and reentry }ilysics. Study was motivated by possibility that a better under-
standing of these phenomena will lead to new techniques for determining the
size, natun, and path of any large body entering earth's atmos}ilere.
Strange effect.ci !roni EM waves. The UFO investigator, v. 3, Nov. -Dec. 1965: 5.
Experiments and research by Prof. Clyde E. Ingalls, Cornell University, are
summarized and seem to indicate that electromagnetic waves can be "heard."
Reports of odd effects and EM (electromagnetic) interference concomitant with
UFO sightings are briefly surveyed.

Many of the individuals who have allegedly been in proximity to fiying saucers
or their occupmts report being stricken by Jlll'alysis. Problems with vision,
electric shock, and a sensation of heat (burns are often suffered), accompany
this paralysis. It is suggested t.'u!.t exposure to a sufficiently intense
magnetic field rould be the causal factor.
