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. The U.S. Bush administration now wants to put him on trial, and if tried there he could face 60 years behind bars.
The search for proof of the existence of UFOs landed Gary McKinnon in a world of trouble.
After allegedly hacking into NASA websites -- where he says he found images of what looked like extraterrestrial spaceships -- the 40-year-old Briton faces extradition to the United States from his North London home. If convicted, McKinnon could receive a 70-year prison term and up to $2 million in fines.
"I knew that governments suppressed antigravity, UFO-related technologies, free energy or what they call zero-point energy. This should not be kept hidden from the public when pensioners can't pay their fuel bills", says McKinnon.
McKinnon told Wired Magazine that he found a "book with 400 testimonials from everyone from air traffic controllers to those responsible for launching nuclear missiles. Very credible witnesses. They talk about reverse-(engineered) technology taken from captured or destroyed alien craft."
McKinnon also provided Wired Magazine with testimony from, "A NASA photographic expert said that there was a Building 8 at Johnson Space Center where they regularly airbrushed out images of UFOs from the high-resolution satellite imaging. I logged on to NASA and was able to access this department. They had huge, high-resolution images stored in their picture files. They had filtered and unfiltered, or processed and unprocessed, files."
"My dialup 56K connection was very slow trying to download one of these picture files. As this was happening, I had remote control of their desktop, and by adjusting it to 4-bit color and low screen resolution, I was able to briefly see one of these pictures. It was a silvery, cigar-shaped object with geodesic spheres on either side. There were no visible seams or riveting. There was no reference to the size of the object and the picture was taken presumably by a satellite looking down on it. The object didn't look manmade or anything like what we have created. Because I was using a Java application, I could only get a screenshot of the picture -- it did not go into my temporary internet files. At my crowning moment, someone at NASA discovered what I was doing and I was disconnected."
It's time that these agencies come out with the plain truth.. Most of us know that the governments are hiding something and are afraid that the public will be over exposed. Well this is where pop culture comes in. Specially in America where most of social life is now revolved around fiction. The movies that come out like Men In Black, Star Wars, and recently District 9 are a portrayal of what is more than likely possible. And in some way sometimes I feel that these entertainment features are somewhat of a cover-up of what is really true. This is the 21st century, the century of Technology and Space Exploration, Lets not hide of what is out these anymore. Because It is all true.. And we all Want To Belive..

Let's see. Downloading a picture file while running a pc remote application -- at 56K .
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.
OMG -- A webcam too!!!!!!!!!!
That's one HELL of a fast dialup connection.
