So -- Gary McKinnon

The BBC rebroadcast a piece of an interview they did with him last year.

The background of his story: he hacked into NASA and Pentagon computers in order to find out if they were hiding information about UFOs, aliens, and antigravity drives. This was remarkably easy for him to do, because many of the computers were Windows machines with blank Administrator passwords.

Frankly, I've got to ask -- if you're running Windows, and you don't actually set an Administrator password, and someone accesses your files, can you REALLY claim that they're hacking? I mean, c'mon -- if you walk through an unlocked door, you may be trespassing, but you're not breaking and entering.

Anyway. . .

So, McKinnon claims that
1. A NASA scientist said in an internal thingy that he found that they airbrush out the alien vehicles from pictures from Building 8 so that people don't see them.

2. He found the non-retouched pictures from Building 8, and there was an alien spacecraft in it.

3. He found Excel spreadsheets that were about personell transfers from one ship to another -- and several of the ship names show up nowhere else, and one of the personell spreadsheets was titled "Non-Terrestrial Officers."

So, I've been thinking about possible explanations for this.
Explanation #1: He's lying. I mean, that's always one that you've got to suspect. He broke into the computers, 'cause, well, if he didn't, why would the Pentagon be upset, but is just making up what he found.

Explanation #2: The things he saw in the photos weren't alien spacecraft, but rather, weird-looking scaffolding or something like that -- and the Excel spreadsheets were for a roleplaying game one of the NASA scientists was running, doing personal hobby stuff on a work machine.

Explanation #3: NASA and the Pentagon are covering up the existence of, not only alien spacecraft, but an entire spaceborne branch of the military.

Personally, I like #2 the best. Any other thoughts?

#4: The photos he's calling the originals were in fact doctored to look as though they contained alien spacecraft. Those, and the spreadsheets, are part of an attempt to make the USSR Chinese and French think NASA has alien technology.

I'll go you one better...

NASA, does, in fact have space alien technology. We've even got a Space Corps branch of the USN and the Air Force.

But the stuff this guy found isn't the -real- stuff. All of it is fake, and was put on a computer easily hacked so that someone would find it and make it public. NASA, knowing full well that denying his allegations would only fuel the flames, is setting up a sort of fake conspiracy to distract from the real one.

I mean, it doesn't quite reach the levels of 'the Gov't had Nicole killed to destroy OJ's credibility so he can't reveal that the moon landing was faked' crazy, but, well, there you have it.
