by Justin DwyerDuring a 13-month period between February 2001 and March 2002, Gary McKinnon carried out what is now being called by some US prosecutors as the "Biggest military computer hack of all time." On 27 different occasions, McKinnon hacked into unprotected networks owned by the United States Air Force, Army, Navy; and the Department of Defense; as well as NASA, through a 56k dialup connection and unearthed what many are now calling hard evidence of extraterrestrial life. Finally arrested in 2002 by the UK's national high-crimes unit, he is accused of hacking into United States government computer networks, and now faces sentences of 70 years in prison and 2 million dollars in fines.
Gary McKinnon, born February 10th 1966, is a UK born systems administrator and hacker who believes that the United States government, in particular, NASA and various military organizations, are keeping extraterrestrial evidence and UFO-related technologies from the public - technologies that could spark enormous breakthroughs for free-energy technology. He believes that in a time where many people are unable to pay for their fuel bills, it is a crime for governments to hold on out such valuable technology.
Interestingly enough, McKinnon also claims that hacking into these networks was surprisingly easy - especially for the technology he was using at the time. As mentioned above, through only a 56k dialup connection, he searched for computers owned by high-ranking officials and administrators, which had no password set, and easily gained access to virtually any information he desired - and the things he discovered were quite unbelievable.
McKinnon unearthed a group known as the Disclosure Project, which had published a book containing 400 expert witnesses ranging from air traffic controllers, military radar operators and nuclear missile operators, all confirming the existence of alien technology, such as anti-gravity and free energy. As well, thanks to his searches through NASA networks, McKinnon also unearthed a photograph that depicts what seems to be a satellite image of a long, silver, cigar-shaped spaceship, with geodesic domes on each end - McKinnon claims it is an alien spaceship. Unfortunately, because of the timely nature of what he was doing, and the equipment he possessed, McKinnon was unable to save the image, as he was finally cut off from his hacking activity midway through the download.
If convicted, Gary McKinnon will be in a world of trouble. The United States government is looking to charge him with deleting critical files, shutting down a network of 2,000 computers for 24 hours, deleting US Navy weapon logs, and copying files, passwords and information from these servers onto his own computer - all things that he denies doing. According to McKinnon, he has done the world a favour by attempting to disclose valuable information that the global population deserves to know. He goes on to fervently state that he caused no damage by accessing insecure networks with no passwords put in place. It seems like it will only be a matter of time for what looks like punishment to befall on someone desperate to learn the truth, and expose it for what it is.
