Hacker fears 'UFO cover-up'

[merk]

In 2002, Gary McKinnon was arrested by the UK's national high-tech crime unit, after being accused of hacking into Nasa and the US military computer networks.


He says he spent two years looking for photographic evidence of alien spacecraft and advanced power technology.
America now wants to put him on trial, and if tried there he could face 60 years behind bars.
Banned from using the internet, Gary spoke to Click presenter Spencer Kelly to tell his side of the story, ahead of his extradition hearing on Wednesday, 10 May. You can read what he had to say here.

I would forever crap my pants if he's telling the truth. Unfortunately…

GM: No, the graphical remote viewer works frame by frame. It's a Java application, so there's nothing to save on your hard drive, or at least if it is, only one frame at a time.

SK: So did you get the one frame?

GM: No.

SK: What happened?

GM: Once I was cut off, my picture just disappeared.

SK: You were actually cut off the time you were downloading the picture?

GM: Yes, I saw the guy's hand move across.

ROTFL, he sounds like a real expert. PrintScreen, anyone? This guy sounds like a person who might just be able to start he's own computer if he knew which way to hold the manual.

But what came on to the screen was amazing. It was a culmination of all my efforts. It was a picture of something that definitely wasn't man-made. It was above the Earth's hemisphere. It kind of looked like a satellite. It was cigar-shaped and had geodesic domes above, below, to the left, the right and both ends of it, and although it was a low-resolution picture it was very close up."above the Earth's hemisphere" LOL

I was gonna thread this but you beat me to it!
The text interview just gives a summary of what they said.

You should WATCH THE VIDEO (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/help/3681938.stm) of the interview, it explains more of what he really did and they also talk about that 'Print Screen' option.

ah yes, free energy !!!

no catch, and completely goes against the second rule of thermodynamics.

Whats really funny is that McKinnon was messed up on skunk a lot of the time he was browsing through NASA computers systems.

[usm2b]

Banned from the internet? Damn...thats pretty harsh.

[Violet Fashion by Mindy]

It makes you wonder what security agencies in other nations can find with near unlimited resources at their disposal.

60 year sentance seams kind of harsh. But that won't happen. There will be a trial then he will be offered some position in Mi5 or the CIA/FBI/NSA to do exactly the same stuff. "Legally"

It's possible if you deactivate the "Hardware Acceleration" in your Video Player Properties.

just use a stupid digital camera, and make a photo of the monitor lol...

"Legally"McKinnon has stated that he used bog standard methods to gain entry to US govt systems. Can anyone remember that kid from England that hacked into USAF systems time again within 6 months of getting his first computer, he said he was not interested in computing at school and his Mum only bought him the PC so he would keep out of trouble.:)

There's this program, called Stargate SG-1. A camera crew actually goes along with this USAF Deep Space Explorer unit. Really cool documentary... the team leader is quite a guy........

Wait that's a joke right? That crap thing on sci fi?

SG1 is real .. and they are NOT crap!!!




and they use P90's

[Indianer]

Why didn't the guy just take a astronomy class...

The drake equation already suggests that life could exist elsewhere in the universe (but since any has yet been found) it has been questioned for quite awhile.

If we really aren't alone, like he thinks, he could've just been patient and waited - cos if there was live they'd make themselves known eventually. But that was kinda the oh duh! answer to his dilemna.

Having seen a famous the famous "Phoenix Lights" in person, I still don't believe in E.T., or space visiters or what have you.

He is in some deep crap, and it's scary to imagine that he is telling the truth about how he got into the government computers.
