The top secret DoD cargo was loaded aboard the Columbia today,
and officials of the Air Force would not comment on it.  NASA
spokesman Dick Young said that it was loaded aboard but he did
not have any other information to give.  The Pentagon would not
say what it was, but they did say that it would not be placed into
orbit but rather brought back down with the shuttle.  Speculation
at KSC is that it contains infrared sensors for high-altitude
night photography.
