Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're looking at UFO hacker Gary McKinnon.
That's correct, UFO hacker Gary McKinnon.
Fascinating case. A lot of aspects about this case
really interests me. The fact that he really didn't
have to hack that hard to get in and we'll get into that.
It makes you wonder, the people keeping the secrets, If they
aren't sophisticated enough to keep out somebody like Gary
McKinnon, then what are they sophisticated enough to do?
Constantly we're being told that we should trust the government
with all these UFO secrets, that they'll let us know when we need
to know. But the fact is, a lot of these
guys are showing us that they really aren't smart enough to be
trusted with these secrets. I mean, if Gary McKinnon can
hack into this system, imagine what AI or some extraterrestrial
or interdimensional source could do.
Actually, pretty scary stuff when you think about it.
Now, this article is from cybernews.com.
It says the hacker who breached NASA to prove that UFOs exist.
This is written December 11th, 2023 by Ernestus Napres.
The stress office says In the heart of Wood Greens, a
forgotten suburban corner of north London, lay a lay a dingy
room steeped in the shadows, where a solo hacker wasted no
time to wash, shave, meet anyone or sometimes even eat.
He had just accessed classified military and NASA networks where
UFO research and secret technologies were hidden.
Gary McKinnon got his first computer at age 14.
It was the Atari 400 which proved to be a capable device
for learning to write code in BASIC.
If you're old, as I am, you can remember BASIC.
Inspired by the movie War Games, where Matthew Broderick acted as
a young hacker breaching into the Pentagon, McKinnon felt
McKinnon left school at 17, worked as a hairdresser, and
later found sporadic work in tech sport.
Now you can see this is a guy who's just kind of drifting
around a bit. A young kid doesn't seem like
he's that threatening, it says. And he was dying to find out
what critical information about UFOs the government was hiding.
I got interested in them when I saw one, Mckennon said in one
interview. A very decent light in the sky.
Between 2001 and 2002, around the time when the 9/11 attacks
happened, he managed to infiltrate 97 military and NASA
computers and wreak complete havoc in the US government
systems. Now, I think that might be a
little bit of an exaggeration of saying wreak complete havoc.
He got access to some pictures and to some emails and stuff
like that. But you know, I was around in
2001 and 2002 and I don't remember the government shutting
down. So it almost seems a little bit
like they're exaggerating a damage he could have caused.
I mean, he's basically a window peeker.
He's looking at these computers without permission.
But how he wreaked havoc, I'm not so sure about that.
I don't see where he did anything malicious.
Countless late night hacking sessions trying to reveal dark
secrets forever changed his life, filling it with rejection,
accusations, horrors and even more unanswered questions.
Are we really not alone in this seemingly vast, empty cosmic
space? Accused of perpetrating the
biggest military computer hack of all time.
In 2002, McKinnon faced extradition to the US.
Decades in jail and millions in fines.
I'll just correct it. It's not jail, it's prison.
Big difference. OK.
In jail you still have contact, you know, at certain levels with
the public. I mean, it's kind of a come and
go thing. When they put you in prison,
especially one of these, one of these federal prisons, they
could have taken him out to Colorado and put him in the
underground prison out there and think that's where that's at.
They could set him down there for days and days where he
doesn't see the sun. Maybe he gets to see simulated
sunlight and it's just a living hell on earth.
So a little different than jail. What they wanted to put him into
was a living hell, at least for someone who's not something
nonviolent like this. You can see they wanted to make
an example of McKinnon. And why?
Well, because he was talking about seeing pictures of UFOs.
Why is it so important to these people to keep this secret
hidden from us? That's my question goes on.
It says known online is solo. McKinnon obsessively poked
around U.S. government computer systems.
He based his actions on obsessive search for evidence of
UFOs and free energy suppression by the US government.
Well, yes. Why would they have a Why would
the US government have a motive to suppress a free energy?
Well, of course, think about the money that's involved in oil.
I mean the entire system, the entire world system runs on it.
Everything from our economy to our motives for war run on oil
goes on. It says.
Seoul's attempts would seem crude by today's standards.
A simple dial up modem provided a 56 KB per second connection
over standard telephone lines. Using it, McKinnon scanned a
vulnerable 139 port used for sharing files, printers, and
other computer sources. Well, if you're storing top
secret information on this thing, even in 2002, shouldn't
you be competent enough to use a port that's not vulnerable one
access point after another? He looked for systems with blank
or default passwords. Now think about that.
That means someone's given somebody in the deep state there
and one of these employees at NASA or this military base or
whatever they've been, they've been given access to a website.
And somehow he gets, you know, he gets on the server, he gets
onto their computer in their office there in Florida or
Virginia or wherever. And but he after he's taken over
their computer, he still has to have a password to get into
these sites where this so-called top secret UFO information is
AT. What does he find out?
Well, he finds out a lot of these guys haven't even taken
the time to create a password. How smart is that?
You, as a government employee have access to A to a top secret
database, the computer's setting on your desk, and you don't take
the time to create a password to get into that database.
Effectively, anybody that walks in your office or anybody that
gets access to your computer can just create their own password
or just log on without even using one.
And they call that hacking. So you see, they are trying to,
in my opinion, they're trying to just gloss over the incompetence
and the complete apathy of these government employees and say,
well, the reason he got in is because he was such a genius.
Well, he's a smart guy, but really the reason he got in was
because the people with access to this information were so
sloppy about protecting it. You see what I'm saying?
They're telling you. They're telling you that you
can't see the pictures. They want to lock this guy up in
a hellhole federal prison somewhere for hopefully the rest
of his life because he got access to this information.
Well, if the information was so important and so secret, why
didn't the people who had access access to it legally?
Why didn't they at least use a password to get to it?
Probably because they're just too lazy to be my guess.
But this, this is the the, this is the framework that we're
operating in constantly. People say, oh, trust the
government, you know, well, they'll let you know what you
need to know about UFOs. But look, what you're dealing
with. The government's not some
religious icon here. It's not something that's been
around with us, you know, since the beginning of time, say the
government is just a collection of people like you and I, only
they happen to have access to the guns and the jails and the
people that will put you in those jails.
That's the big difference. Now as long as that government
is just, that's great. But when that government,
government becomes unjust or becomes, you know, just wicked,
then all of a sudden or incompetent, then all of a
sudden we've got all kinds of problems on our hands.
And that's what you see here is just, this is this is clearly
incompetence. Employees, the government, those
people that work in the government that call themselves
the government, those people didn't take the time to create a
password so that just anybody off the street couldn't have
access to these pictures. And what happened?
Well, Gary McKinnon got access to their computer.
That's the hacking part. And then he just walked right on
into the website. He didn't need a password
because they hadn't taken the time to create one.
Just think about that for 5 minutes.
People that are so incompetent and so lazy that they don't take
the time to create a password to keep people who shouldn't be
able to see top secret information from seeing it.
If it's all that important, if it's so scary, then why couldn't
you have at least created a password?
You're acting like it's nothing, but when somebody accesses it,
then you want to put them in prison for life.
That's the dichotomy that we're dealing with here goes on it,
says. Sola himself was surprised to
learn that he could install remote access software without
any trouble at first. To avoid detection, he navigated
NASA's networks at night when strange computer activity was
less likely to be spotted. However, soon he grew confident
and sloppy, even posting hostile notes on his victim's computer,
saying your security system is crap.
Now that's what gets a lot of these guys.
They get a little bit frustrated when they see just how lazy and
sloppy and comp and incompetent that these deep state actors
are, and they have to say something.
He would have been a lot better off to talk about it online than
to break into computer, because we already know the stuff's
there. Just like Snowden, he didn't
need to destroy his life by telling us that the government
was spying on us. Anybody with common sense would
have already made that assumption that if the
government had the ability to spy on you that yeah, they're
probably doing it. If you're not living your life,
just assuming that you're being spied on on a minute by minute
basis, then you're not being careful.
I can tell you that you're and you're not exercising common
sense. He goes on and said but did he
find anything? Yes, he was sure he saw images
of of what looked like extraterrestrial spaceships.
Now remember, this is back in 2002.
They didn't have access to high speed Internet, but taking, you
know maybe 5 or 10 minutes sometimes for these really high
res photos to load up on your machine.
So he's dealing with some really primitive stuff here.
As far as the images imaging goes, the evidence convinced
McKinnon as the pictures were kept at building 8 at the
Johnson Space Center where they regularly airbrushed out images
of UFOs from the high resolution satellite imaging.
Here he found a folder titled Unfiltered, containing strange
satellite imagery with strange spacecraft, cigar shaped with a
clean Dome on top. So we've known this for a long
time. It's been, at least it's been
speculated and it's been, it's been stated by former employees
and NASA's airbrushing this stuff, you know, and I have no
doubt NASA, you know, started out as a not just space agency,
but as a information agency spy network basically to to spy on
other countries using satellites.
Why wouldn't they keep information about UFOs from us?
I think the real problem is that they think that if people knew
that UFOs were this common, then they would begin to question who
has the real authority, and if people begin to question who has
the real authority, then at some level order might break down, he
says. I had remote control of their
desktop and by adjusting it to a four 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, Solo told Wired back in 2006.
Well, we know that these things have been photographed with
satellites because we've heard comments from the Navy talking
about how they've got UFO pictures where they have the
same UFO being photographed by people on the deck of the ship,
say from the satellite and also from aircraft.
They got a three-way photograph all at the same time, but they
can't show you because it would be national security violation.
So this is not a surprise to me. So where is the hard evidence of
this photo? Sadly, why?
While the high res image slowly downloaded to his computer,
someone at NASA noted the noticed the intrusion took
control and severed the connection with the horrified
yet unwavering McKenna. Thus the download didn't finish.
Well, that wouldn't be hard. I mean all you got to do is just
reach over to unplug the dial up modem from your computer.
I mean, this is 2002, remember? It would probably take 20
minutes to download that image. They had huge high resolution
images stored in their picture file.
They had filtered and unfiltered or processed and unprocessed
files. Solo claim.
Yeah, don't you like the way that they just name them, They
just tell you. Here's the stuff.
If you guys want to look at it, go ahead.
That was not the only finding. As his fingers danced across the
keyboard, scrolling through images and documents deep in the
labyrinth of classified military data, McKinnon discovered a
classified personnel roster personnel roster.
His trembling fingers traced the words non terrestrial officers.
The Excel spreadsheet contained names and ranks of the US Air
Force personnel not registered anywhere else.
It also included information about ship to ship transfers
which Solo had never seen elsewhere.
Well maybe that helps explain the $1.55 trillion that the DoD
is missing. Would that be enough to start a
space program? I don't know.
None of these were ocean going ships.
It was astounding. They are not a Navy, they are
not an army, not even an Air Force.
So I was thinking they must be an off planet space force or
space fleet at least, he said. In the final act of audacity, a
vast conspiracy emerged under Mckenna's eyes.
Now, no, the the the conspiracy here is not us.
It's them. They're committing conspiracy
against us. They're conspiring to hide this
vast space program. They're conspiring to hide these
multiple images of UFOs. They're committing conspiracy
against us, and they could be doing it with whatever entities
are operating these UFOs. That's what it's looking like.
More and more files detailing the suppression of free energy
technology capable of revolutionizing the world.
The government seem to be hiding advanced energy sources that
could provide a sustainable, environmentally friendly
alternative to fossil fuels. And we've talked about this
before. If you have free energy, yeah,
it's all set around the campfire and seen Kumbaya because we
ain't working no more. You got free energy.
But it also implies that that you could build a nuclear weapon
in someone's backyard because this this free.
If you had access to free energy, you could use that
energy for good or bad. Goes on us as exploiting
vulnerabilities and weak passwords to penetrate various
systems. Didn't go unnoticed by
overseers, as Solo's actions resulted in significant
disruptions and damage to the system's access.
I really doubt that they're not listing any of the damages or
disruptions here. To me, the disruption is when a
couple of these jokers are sitting around in their in their
office doing nothing like they probably do every day of the
week, and they happen to look over their computer and they
notice that somebody's downloading pictures of a UFO on
it and they're like, Oh my, where did that come from?
I mean, the disruption to me is that these people were exposed
as being so lazy, so incompetent, so unsophisticated
that they couldn't create a password for their computer.
That's the scary part. People.
People so behind the times that they can't create a password for
their computer in charge of all this highly sensitive
information. They would have been better off
if they would just unplug the computer.
Forgot about it. He left traces such as IP
addresses. Moreover, he used his
girlfriend's e-mail address for a trial version of the software.
He was arrested on March 18th, 2002 by the UK police and
admitted he was hacking into U.S. government computers.
Now, he doesn't sound that sophisticated to me if he's
using his girlfriend's address, I mean, how smart is that?
And he's leaving traces all over the place.
He I don't know if they had a tour network back there or
anything. He could have covered his
tracks, but clearly he wasn't thinking about it.
He said he has Asperger's. OK, it sounds to me like
somebody just compulsively looked at this stuff and the
hacking techniques. And I'm not a computer expert,
but the hacking techniques that he's using don't seem all that
sophisticated to me. I mean, getting access to
somebody's computer, OK, in another state, another country?
Yeah, a little work to that. Sounds like he used a computer
to do that. But then just simply logging
onto a website with no password? That doesn't seem sophisticated
at all. The charges against him included
$700,000 in damages. You have to wonder why they came
up with that number. Maybe that was classes to train
the people how to create passwords.
The US government alleged McKinnon of hacking into dozens
of computers, stealing hundreds of passwords and users accounts,
altering, altering and deleting files, and rendering critical
systems inoperable. For this he risked up to 70
years in prison in the US. OK, First off, I don't see where
he stole passwords. I mean, if people were too dumb
to put a password on their computer, that's just them being
too dumb to put a password on the computer, altering and
deleting files. I don't remember him saying that
he deleted anything unless maybe it was accidentally.
Like I said, he's like a high tech window peeker.
He's looking at somebody's stuff they shouldn't be looking at and
he's not even sophisticated enough to hide his tracks, but
they're going to put him in prison for 70 years.
However, after an extensive legal battle dragging on for 10
years, Britain refused to extradite McKinnon to the US due
to his mental health status, the risk of suicide and the belief
that he may not get a fair trial.
The case him, the case against him was dropped in 2012.
Well, they say it was dropped, but I don't see where he was
ever had it expunged from his record or anything like that.
I think I read that even like in 2014 they were telling him not
to travel to Scotland because he could be snatched up and turned
over to the US and find himself in the same situation as Julius
as Julian Assange. And that goes on here and says,
if Rasti and Mckinnon's assertions is highly disputed
and there is no concrete evidence to support his claims,
many critics consider him falling victim to conspiracy
theories and delusions. He didn't leak or distribute any
classified information, yet he raised many concerns about the
security of military networks. Well, yeah, I can.
And I think about the competency of the people operating those
networks is my concern. And he also raised concern about
the fact that we've been, we've been lied to, that they have a
whole building, Building 8 that says the NASA dedicated to
Photoshopping and airbrushing out pictures of UFOs.
Why is it so important for them to cover up any information
about UFOs after evaluation? McKinnon was diagnosed with
Asperger's Syndrome, a condition characterized by significant
difficulties and social interaction and nonverbal
communication combined with restricted and repetitive
patterns of behavior and interest.
However, his allegations now could be seen in a different
light after the recent revelations when in 2020 the
Pentagon released 3 videos of high speed and incredibly
maneuverable Uaps. Recorded by U.S.
Navy pilots in 2015 and 16 former Pentagon employee David
Grass testified before Congress that the US government possesses
unidentified crashed extraterrestrial craft and non
human bodies and has been retrieving UFOs for decades.
Yeah, very fascinating article. Just the outsized reaction that
they had to this guy. You know, it's not like he
distributed a bunch of stuff. It's not like he shared a bunch
of communications, emails, whatnot with with the press.
He just simply was on there looking around having a little
fun and ends up getting caught by NASA and threatened and
threatened with the multiple decades in prison.
Now there's another article kind of kind of finishes up on this.
I think it's pretty good. It says man who hacked NASA says
truth about aliens will never be disclosed.
It says Scottish IT expert Gary McKinnon claims he found
evidence of contact with non terrestrial beings and
technology on NASA and U.S. Navy computer systems.
Written by Mark this is written by Max Chan in September 23rd
2023. This is a man who was accused of
the biggest military computer hack of all time by officials in
the United States claimed to have found evidence of contact
with non terrestrial beings and technology as a result.
Because the public will never be told the truth about UFOSUAPS
and aliens. Well, it was a big hack because
they don't want you to know that UFOs are real and that they've
been covering these things up for years, says Scottish IT
expert Gary McKinnon, now 57, You know, here again they're
slanting this article. They're calling this guy an
expert. Maybe he is now an expert, 27
years later or 20 years later, But at the time, he clearly was
not an expert. He used his girlfriend's e-mail
address to buy some software, it looks like, helping get into the
system. OK, that's not smart.
That's not an expert move. And then he left his IP address
laying all over the place. It's like, it's like making a
crank phone call on somebody when you know they have caller
ID. So what I see here is a person
who was an unsophisticated hacker who somehow, probably
with the use of a computer program, got onto the NASA
website and from there gained access into a number of
different individuals computers using this computer program.
That's how that's how lame their security was.
And then to top it off, I mean, even even with that horrible
security system employed by NASA, they would have still
probably been OK up against somebody like Gary McKinnon,
because it doesn't look like he really knew what he was doing.
It would have probably been OK if their employees had taken the
time to create passwords and put in their computer.
Those passwords would have kept people from using their computer
as a gateway onto these websites where pictures of UFOs were
stored. But the employees were either
too lazy or too incompetent, too unsophisticated to do that.
And as a result a very unsophisticated computer hacker
with Osburger's IT says was able to gain access to pictures of
UFO stored on databases in NASA because the people at NASA were
even less sophisticated than he was.
Great system we have here. Boy, I'm glad you didn't decide
to attack a nuclear weapons base.
Who knows what could have happened.
This is the kind of stuff that should keep us up at nights when
we have. We have systems that are so
behind the time, so, and people that are so lazy and so
incompetent that they can't do simple things like putting
passwords into their computer interfaces.
What's that tell us about the security of our nuclear weapons?
What's that tell us about the security of all of our military
stuff? Is it just as bad?
I'm guessing? I I hope not.
But it could be. It says he became something of a
Cos celeb with Boris Johnson and David Cameron among the
politicians who fought to prevent his extradition.
And rock stars including Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, Sting,
Peter Gabriel and Chrissy Hine all voiced their support for
him. He's got a picture of him here.
Back in the day, his extradition was eventually blocked in 2012
on human rights grounds after he was diagnosed with Asperger's
Syndrome by then Home Secretary Teresa May in 2012.
Speaking after his hack, McKinnon claimed to have seen
thousands of images and documents that showed alien life
and technology were here on Earth.
These included the smooth cigar shaped craft with geodesic domes
above the earth on NASA on a NASA PC and on AUS Navy network
and Excel spreadsheet of non terrestrial officers, ships and
military materials on fleet to fleet transfers.
You know, I kind of think that they didn't go ahead and force
him to come over because it maybe they were just afraid that
if they did lock him up this you know, this this young guy with
this not so young but 37 year old guy with with Asperger's who
seems to have some issues. If they were to put him in a
federal prison somewhere and lock him up, he'd have to be in
total solitary confinement. They wouldn't want him to tell
what he saw, and maybe they just thought that the optics of this
would be so bad that it would be easier just to let him be more
or less confined to the UK over there, it says.
However, McKinnon claims that 21 years ago his Internet
connection was too slow to download the evidence, and the
NASA hack was discovered and blocked by an employee before he
had time to act. Yeah, pretty clearly anyway, it
goes on it, says. McKinnon, who now lives in
Leicester and runs an SCO company, believes these hopes
are futile. He bluntly told the US Sun they
will never tell us the truth. Earlier this month, NASA
released the findings of its year long study into UAPS.
The space agency said there was no evidence of alien life.
However, McKinnon, who nicknames NASA the National Association of
Space Actors, was dismissive of the support he told the US son.
As usual, they said nothing on balance and when pressed they
just repeated their non committal statement.
We'll never get any truth from the military institutions which
NASA is, regardless of the fact that it pretends to be a
civilian institution. We couldn't be more correct
about that. Yeah, fascinating case here,
Gary McKinnon. You have to wonder, why is it so
important for the Deep State to lie to us about these UFOs?
Is it because they simply are afraid that people might freak
out when they find out that UFOs are real?
They might They might stop bending the knee to the Deep
State and decide that that they don't have to follow the rules
anymore? Or is it a possibility that the
Deep State is actually in collusion with the entities that
control these things and together they're working
against? It's hard to say.
Until next time, this is UFO warning.
