DoD Hacker fears UFO cover-up (interv-BBC)
Hacker fears 'UFO cover-up'
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Watch the interview

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.


excerpt: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/click_online/4977134.stm

SK: How did you go about trying to find the stuff you were looking for in Nasa, in the Department of Defense?

GM: Unlike the press would have you believe, it wasn't very clever. I searched for blank passwords, I wrote a tiny Perl script that tied together other people's programs that search for blank passwords, so you could scan 65,000 machines in just over eight minutes.

SK: So you're saying that you found computers which had a high-ranking status, administrator status, which hadn't had their passwords set - they were still set to default?

GM: Yes, precisely.

SK: Were you the only hacker to make it past the slightly lower-than-expected lines of defence?

GM: Yes, exactly, there were no lines of defence. There was a permanent tenancy of foreign hackers. You could run a command when you were on the machine that showed connections from all over the world, check the IP address to see if it was another military base or whatever, and it wasn't.

The General Accounting Office in America has again published another damning report saying that federal security is very, very poor.

1. Why don't the aliens help us?
Why are they just watching us then? Maybe they're evil and helping Bush and the rest of them. Maybe they are them. Maybe they are forbidden to help us, ya know like in Star Trek, don't get inolved crap. Let's get the aliens on our side and vote one of them into office.

3. hey, i'm all for it-in fact, the UFO community was circulating
a letter a couple of years ago..titled: "Do you wish us to show up?" The international UFO community claimed that the aliens want to 'lend a hand'...anyway, you can google it and should be able to find/read if you're interested.

2. He has guts
He bases his belief partly in the Disclosure Project. The Disclosure Project has dozens of military witnesses that blew the whistle on advanced UFO technology. If these witnesses are legitimate, think about the implications. According to their reports, the US government already has free energy technology capable of providing clean power.

Dr. Steven Greer claims to have verified their identities but does anyone here have personal experience with this organization?
