The Satan Bug Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

Cache contains 1 pen, 1 log book and a whole lotta carriers (aieeee!). And one bar of pure (99.95%) silver.

OK.
Third time at one of these. Please do not visit the published location of the cache as it is not the final location.
After confering with Secret Agent X-9, Spysmasher, and some dude named Bond, I have come up with a tough code.
The location of the cache is contained in this article about it (see below). You do not have to watch the 1965 movie to solve it, but it would be a good idea. Some knowledge of the film is needed to find the cache.

West coordinates: W075 31.994

The Article (gives you the north coordinates):

Dana Andrews, George Maharis, and Anne Francis star in The Satan Bug (1965). Plot concerns the release of a deadly virus from a bioweapons lab. Author Alistair Maclean penned the novel on which the film is based. Former Agent Lee Barrett is called back into service to locate missing flasks which contain the bioweapon. Not leakproof, the flasks could start releasing the deadly virus very soon. The health of the planet is in danger as the virus could destroy all life. Tension ensues as Barrett races to find the flasks.
