[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.]

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.
