Item 2.28: Time for a Senatorial Probe into the Ike-in-a-Can Story

TO: Hon. Kay R. Hagan
    U. S. Senate
    Washington, DC 20510

 FROM: Larry W. Bryant

     Alexandria, VA 22302

 DATE: March 21, 2009

 One of your constituents, a man named "Bob," is expected soon to deliver a length of film footage to syndicated talk-show host George Noory for his analysis and duplication. As Bob describes in the below-quoted transcript of his Feb. 3, 2009, on-air phone call to Noory's program, Coast-to-Coast AM, the film in question allegedly shows President Eisenhower and aviation pioneer Howard Hughes inspecting certain UFO artifacts and alien, stretcher-borne crew members within a warehouse.

 Bob's discovery may hold the ultimate key to UFO-E.T. reality, which researchers worldwide have been exploring for more than 60 years. Efforts toward authentication of the film's content would pose such questions as --

 (1) What agencies/officials were privy to this Ike-UFO-E.T. connection from its inception?

 (2) By what authority and justification did these officials proceed to cover up the film's contents and all official records relating to the incident depicted?

 (3) If Bob's cache of film represents only a copy of the original film, where (and why) is the original version being kept from public view today?

 (4) Who had been the original owner/custodian of Bob's copy (and what was his/her former governmental affiliation) at the time Bob acquired possession?

 (5) Today, what proprietary interest in the film does any federal entity have -- and what is the rationale for that interest?

 (6) As the film's current owner, to what government official(s) should Bob look for protection of HIS proprietary interest?

 Were they to be addressed publicly by a Senate committee hearing, these questions and other related ones could help pry the lid off whatever the Eisenhower administration learned about UFO-E.T. reality.

 Besides exercising its subpoena power to obtain testimony and revelatory documentation from available witnesses, the committee could ferret out corroborative evidence from other prospective whistleblowers besides "caller Bob." Accordingly, I ask that you refer this inquiry to the appropriate Senate committee chair so as to have his/her staff invite "caller Bob" to share his evidence with them. To help coordinate this pivotal action on Bob's behalf - and on behalf of all persons having a stake in determining the range and impact of this potentially historical development - I seek from the committee's staff their immediate commitment to work with Mr. Noory's C2C staff ( http://www.coasttocoastam.com ) in protecting and advancing both Bob's and the public's interests in this matter. Note: neither Bob nor the C2C management seeks any profitability from his disclosure.

 By snail-mail, I'm sending to you a signed printout of this e-formatted letter.

 Thank you for attending to this (heretofore unavailable) opportunity for achieving full, unadulterated UFOtruth.

 [LWB Note: at the last minute of the guest segment's final hour, wherein guest Whitley Strieber and host Noory fielded listeners' calls, a man named "Bob" (from east of the Rockies) gives this account.]

 Hello, Mr. Noory. I have a unique - unique - situation to volunteer. I'm in the military, and I monitor satellite cameras. What I've got to tell you is based on UFOs - uh, very unique situation: I have acquired eighteen canisters - reel-to-reel film, military film, based in the forties, early fifties. Uh, I inherited it.

 [Noory: 16-mil, black-and-white?] They're black-and-white; I had a [garbled] on the majority of them. The cans show military insignia like eagles and stuff like that.

 [Noory: Have you looked at the film yet, Bob?] I have looked at a few of them. Uh, what I've seen so far scares me to death.

 [Noory: of what? - give us a quick glimpse.] Uh, we gonna have to talk off the air at some point in time; it's not . . .. [Noory, interrupting: I'm gonna have you give Tom your phone number if that's okay.] What I've seen so far on the ones that I've looked at - well, back to the first one that I looked at showed President Eisenhower and, uh, the, uh, that eccentric guy, he, uh, that had the airplanes - what was his name? - the one who went into seclusion.

 [Strieber: Oh, Howard Hughes.] Howard Hughes in a warehouse, looking around and, uh, people laying on stretchers (and they weren't from this earth). [Noory: Oh, my gosh; all right, look . . ..] I want to stop there and . . .. [Noory, interrupting: Bob, I'm putting you on hold, we're gonna get your phone number and we will talk at length. Could be fascinating. Whitley, my friend, stay in touch. [Strieber: thank you very much, George, as always . . ..]

Item 5.1: Guest Essay from Researcher Art Campbell - "Ike in the Can"

[LWB Note:  For further background on the continuing saga of "What Did Eisenhower Know, and When Did He Know It, about UFO Reality?", I'm posting here, with his permission, Art Campbell's recent update of his own perspective.]

          == HEY, OUT THERE IN UFO LAND ==
 
To view a current Eisenhower-UFO project, go to http://www.ufocrashbook.com (click on I LIKE IKE).
Before any of us get excited about the 18 cans of film, we need to take a look at how security works.  Now, unless it is 18 imaginary cans of hot air, it is possible they might have been delivered and are quietly being evaluated.  Assuming they made it back to the good ol' USA.

I would be disappointed if the C-to-C ["Coast-to-Coast AM" radio program] people did not CLAM UP as soon as they received them.  Here is what you do not do when traveling with classified, sensitive film-like material:

* Do not put the material in a suitcase that will be X-rayed. Old B&W film can be damaged whether unexposed or exposed.  Many film photographers I know use special pouches. Commercial CDs and DVDs have to be handled differently.

* Do not carry it on a plane.  If it is not damaged by X-ray it might be confiscated, especially if the Federals have a watch out for it.  Government communications to all airports are very quick now because of new homeland security measures.  Film cans hide drugs very well too, so do not travel with them unless you are a photographer with cameras.

(Last summer after the Roswell Festival, I traveled with a History Channel crew after we'd filmed a project on The Plains of San Augustin, N. M.  Go to ( http://www.ufocrashbook.com ) to see some artifacts from the crash site.  It took two extra hours to clear security and ship the 20 bags or so and shipping boxes of photo equipment from Albuquerque to LA.)

* Do not announce any travel plans, modes of transportation, or itineraries.  To anyone.

* Do not communicate openly to people at the other end.  They may be monitored in their e-mail, land-line phones, snail mail, etc. (It is the U. S. government that delivers the mail.)  UPS or Fed-X are better, but hand delivery is best.  Have a code word agreed on before hand for communication.  For instance in WWII behind the lines, spies were trained to do something unique ahead of time in their radio transmissions.  Certain radio operators might be trained to miss every 17th letter of the 6th sentence, for example, to verify their identity to the receiver.  General Leslie Groves of the famed Manhattan (atomic bomb) project traveled across the country by train with a 14-pound ball of enriched uranium in a lead lined box that only he handled.  Nowadays, a car trip, private plane, or two senior citizens in an RV would escape suspicious eyes.

So let's let ol' Bob and his 18 cans of whatever have a little peace.  And not expect a full report so soon.  Even the C-to-C people will not tell you it is being evaluated because there are only a few places it could be authenticated; and if there is concern over it by the Government, their places will be staked out FIRST.

You may hear that ol' Bob just did not come through or it was just another false alarm like the guy who told Art Bell he had killed two big foot monsters and buried them in the woods.  So let's let this thing alone.  No one can afford to tell us the truth if it is real, because they will jeopardize themselves and the outcome.

Military 16-mm field cameras generally shot 100-foot rolls; and, spliced end to end, four went into a 400-foot can.  Larger studio news cameras took 400-foot rolls at one loading and were easier to process, etc.

So someone has 7,200 feet of film or more to look at and evaluate (over a mile).  If there is anything at all, it certainly is not going to be exposed at a UFO conference this spring or summer of 2009.

EISENHOWER IN A CAN, NO; BUT . . . we have a nice project about a secret trip by Eisenhower to Holloman Air Force Base, N. M., in February 1955.  IT WAS REPORTED HE WENT ABOARD A UFO.  You guys and gals on the East Coast can see its debut at the April 17-20  X- Conference at Gaithersburg, Md.  To see the whole seven-part series, go to http://www.ufocrashbook.com .  We also have documented witnesses and one live one who will be there.  [For highlights from a June 2008 audio-recorded interview of Campbell by radioman Jerry Pippin, see:  http://www.ipodshows.net/Eisenhower_ET_Art_Campbell.htm  - LWB.]

WE WILL KNOW SOONER OR LATER IF THIS IS REAL; IN THE MEANTIME LET'S RELAX A LITTLE.

Art Campbell - Researcher into the Plains of San Augustin crash site and into the Eisenhower UFO-E.T. Connection

[LWB note:  there may or may not be an Ike connection in the cryptic remark made by C2C's Sunday host George Knapp at the end of the show's fourth hour on 15-16 Mar 09:  "I'll be back next week with what I hope will be a real big surprise."]

Item 2.27: Request for a GAO Probe into the Whereabouts of the Original Film Footage of Pres. Eisenhower Inspecting Certain UFO-E.T. Artifacts

TO: Hon. Mark Warner
     U. S. Senate
     Washington, DC 20510
 
FROM: Larry W. Bryant
      3518 Martha Custis Drive
      Alexandria, VA 22302
 
DATE: March 4, 2009
 
A few years before his death in 1998, the late U. S. Rep. Steven H. Schiff, in responding to concerns expressed by some of his New Mexico constituents, commissioned an investigation by the U. S. Government Accountability Office into the whereabouts of various federal agency records pertaining to the now-famous 1947 crash-landed flying saucer near Roswell, N. M. As a result, GAO staffers assigned to the case determined that certain military records likely to pertain to the event had gone missing. The public may never learn how important those records would have been in determining the fate of the Roswellian crashed-saucer wreckage and crew.
 
To pick up where those GAO investigators left off, a new case now presents itself with the recent discovery of some 1940s/1950s-vintage military film footage allegedly showing Pres. Eisenhower and aviation pioneer Howard Hughes inspecting some UFO-E.T. artifacts (including deceased UFOnauts). For details of the case as revealed on Feb. 3, 2009, to radio talk-show host George Noory during his syndicated program Coast-to-Coast AM, see the below-quoted transcript of "caller Bob's" account.

As Noory awaits receipt and analysis of a tell-tale excerpt from the discovered film footage, the other stakeholders in this historic turn of events -- meaning you and me and the rest of Earth's population -- deserve to know whether the discovered 16-mm film constitutes the original version thereof. To that end, I ask that you seek, on our behalf, the assistance of pertinent GAO investigators in determining (1) the film's authenticity, (2) the identity of its originator, and (3) whatever other such revelatory footage currently exists within the files of U. S. military components.

As you fulfill this request, I ask that your office keep me regularly informed of all related developments. If you know of any congressional committee that would be interested in holding a public hearing on this case and its implications, please share the content of this letter with the committee's chair.

Note: I'm sending to you a signed printout of this e-formatted letter, by which I authorize you to divulge its content to anyone you choose.

Thank you for helping the legacy of Congressman Schiff speak for itself.

Item 2.25: FOIA Request to CIA re Film Footage of Eisenhower's Inspection of an Alien Spacecraft and Its Deceased Occupants

TO: Ms. Delores M. Nelson
     Information and Privacy Coordinator
     U. S. Central Intelligence Agency
     Washington, DC 20505

 FROM: Larry W. Bryant
      3518 Martha Custis Drive
      Alexandria, VA 22302

 DATE: March 1, 2009

 1. On February 3, 2009, a surrogate UFO-E.T.-coverup whistleblower named "Bob" phoned in to the late-night syndicated radio program Coast-to-Coast AM (hosted by George Noory). "Bob related the circumstances of his acquisition of certain 16-mm film footage showing President Eisenhower and the late aviation pioneer Howard Hughes inspecting the apparent remains of a crash-landed flying saucer and its alien crew. (See my below-quoted transcript of "Bob's" account.) This latest evidence implicating Eisenhower in the federal government's sequestering of hard evidence of UFO-E.T. reality dovetails with earlier leakage to certain UFOlogists of a copy of the so-called Eisenhower Briefing Document from the allegedly CIA-created/managed "Majestic-12" operation that began during the late 1940s.

 2. In order to unearth the whole story of Eisenhower's UFO-E.T. connection, I submit this letter as a freedom-of-information request that you send me a copy of all CIA-generated and CIA-received records pertaining to the film footage revealed by "Bob's" account. One or more copies of that footage (and/or references thereto) may be housed in the same compartment as that which contains the radar data and other technical material that certain CIA personnel confiscated from former FAA official John J. Callahan during his investigation of the UFO encounter experienced by a Japanese 747 cargo jet over Alaska on Nov. 17, 1986. (Refer to my FOIA-CIA case No. F-2008-01781, which soon will be litigated in U. S. District Court for the District of Columbia.) I therefore ask that your ensuing records search include that special compartment.

 3. Please note that the U. S Freedom of Information Act (as amended by the U. S. OPEN Government Act of 2007) requires your agency to conduct a reasonable search for the sought-for records - and that I, as a representative of the news media (RNM), remain entitled to full waiver of all records-processing fees incident to your fulfillment of this request. As with my most recent FOIA requests to your agency, I refer you to my web log - http://ufoview.posterous.com - for ample evidence of my RNM requester status. Note: I shall construe your acceptance of this request as a formal acknowledgment of my RNM requester status.

 4. By snail-mail, I'm sending to you a signed printout of this e-formatted letter.
