NASA computers were hacked by a man from London and he claimed to have found a picture of UFO.
The incident happened in 2001.
Gary McKinnon strongly believed that the US government was hiding important information on UFOs and free-energy technology collected from them. The hacking took place from February 2001 to March 2002. The hacking activity reportedly became an obsession for McKinnon. He had a feeling that he could uncover the truth.
He claimed to have not taken necessary pre-caution on his tracks because he wanted to get caught for him to finally stop hacking.
As expected, he eventually get caught and the government wanted to extradite and put him in prison.
He was then diagnosed with autism, which was the reason of his hacking obsession. The US government stopped trying to extradite him in October 2012.
At the time of hacking, McKinnon utilized a 56k modem. He failed to download or view high resolution satellite imagery.
He claimed to have view a UFO when he compressed the image to show only four colours and lowered the resolution of the photo.
McKinnon said he discovered a cigar-shaped object having a silvery colour with geodesic spheres on both sides. He added that he did not find any visible seams or riveting. He cannot identify how big the object because there was no reference to the size. The picture apparently taken by a satellite looking down on the mysterious object. McKinnon thought right then that it was not man-made.
According to reports, McKinnon failed to save the image because NASA detected his hacking activity before he was able to save it.

Gary McKinnon may very well be an alien-human hybrid and not even know it. This might explain his obsession with UFO's and extraterrestrial life.
maybe he is one of "millions" of "intelligent" human beings,that are very aware of the existance of ufos & ets..... a simple deduction would tell "anyone",-that it is pretty arrogant,& self-indulged to think that "humans" are the ONLY "other life-forms"--- out in our vast universes...the rest of society can keep their heads buried in the
Hes a Jerk!
The US government didn't "stop trying to extradite him in October", the British government refused to give him back to the US, Big difference - the US government would still love to get him.
He sure looks like one, doesn't he !?
i said the same thing here once and totally got shot down for it.
Of course the government knows. But they do not have a lock or good connection with them. They are in charge.
You need to word that correctly on the reason why the US stopped was because England told them no you are not and can not ever again take any of our citizens without first there being a trial in our country proving their guilt.
