According to McKinnon, he viewed actual photos of alien spaceships secretly stored on NASA computers. Gary says that there were “unfiltered and filtered photos” available and that the filtered photos had been airbrushed to hide the alien spacecrafts. Others say that he managed to obtain more information than he has taken credit for and this has made him America’s most wanted. That information may include the identities of ‘off world’ military officers assigned to other planets.

After being identified as the hacker that gained access to the top secret computers in the USA, Gary McKinnon was arrested by the British National Hi Tech Crime Unit in March of 2002. He was held for just under eight hours while all the computers he owned or were repairing for others were confiscated. Gary was eventually released and his machines returned, except for a Hard Drive sent to United States. U.S. Authorities used that and other evidence to indict McKinnon and request that he be extradited to America.

McKinnon’s legal team have managed to keep him in the UK so far, but the results of a hearing that was held on May 16, 2008 might change that. Although complicated, the House of Lords process may ultimately decide whether McKinnon is sent to the USA, allowed to stay in the UK or given the opportunity to serve a predetermined sentence in the UK based on a conviction under American Law. The problem is that U.S. and UK Laws differ in many ways and trying to match up the processes involved is no easy task no matter what side of this issue you are on.

Many believe that Britain’s lack of enthusiasm to prosecute McKinnon may be motivated by their own secrecy or even revenge. Some people say that McKinnon was secretly and unknowingly being used as a pawn by one or more British Intelligence Services. They believe that these services wanted to know what the U.S. Military did and does about ETs and their agenda. Others say that failure of the USA to turn over IRA supporters, sympathizers, fund-raisers and members to the UK during the 1960s and 1970s has resulted in the current stalemate with McKinnon.

Personally, I believe that the McKinnon situation has been a catalyst for change in the position held for so many years by the U.S. Government regarding Extraterrestrials. Once they became aware that the UK was not going to prosecute, muzzle or harass McKinnon, U.S. Authorities lost their trump card. If they cannot control their allies and complete access to what the U.S. Government knows about UFOs and Aliens, what choices remain? Disclosure becomes a necessity, rather than just an ultimate goal.

Perhaps that’s why we have heard about secret UN briefings on ETs, Catholic leaders telling their clergy and church members that it’s no sin to believe in Aliens and even providing training for future missionaries to the stars. Despite self-serving U.S. Government statements that still try to hide the truth about UFOs from the public whenever a major sighting or encounter occurs, the path has clearly been laid out. Disclosure is inevitable and will likely occur very soon depending on the ebb and flow of political tides within the USA.

Gary McKinnon may be a hacker, but I think that history may also judge him as a kind of hero. If he was a cyber spy for hire, he was a reluctant and somewhat inept one and there is absolutely no evidence to connect him with any terrorist or fanatically religious organizations of any kind. Even if he just did what he did as a lark, he did the USA a favor exposing technical weaknesses no one detected. More importantly, he did the UFO research community a favor by providing a technical trail of evidence to follow that proves the USA is hiding information about UFOs and Extraterrestrials.
