Thought that this article might interest some of you, if not already aware of the site on which it is found.

The Department of Justice are attempting to extradite this man, a UK citizen, using a recently amended US-UK treaty which the US government has not even ratified.

The guy still didnt find anything we already dont know.
Personally, I dont believe in Aliens.
My own opinion is that any UFO's out there are simpily experimental classified Military craft.
I do believe that Anti-Gravity technology is being perfected and used in those craft.
Otherwise...many people see things that are of purely natural orgin.
Sort of like the spots of light reflected off Satellites at times.

If you ae saying you don't believe in UFO type aliens then OK, fair enough because I'm something of a sceptic myself. However, if you are saying there isn't life on other planets then I'll just say this - there are hundreds of millions of stars out there - many of them must harbour planets just like our own sun. To me it is totally inconceivable that there is no other life in the universe other than what dwells here. It simply cannot be. If it is I'll eat your hat

Two words come to mind - soft target.

Oh, really? (clicky)

Good read. Thanks Ormr.

I don't believe in the whole UFO phenomenom either, but you gotta wonder why the U.S. Govt. wants this guy so bad?

My gut feeling is that its one of two things.
Experimental Military Object from another Country...or...
Some type of Remote Controlled Toy Object.

Anyway...
Just a snip of an article about the Topic:

::::::

Gary McKinnon, the English hacker facing 70 years in U.S. prison for searching Pentagon sites for UFO evidence, says the weirdest thing he found was a list of "Non-Terrestrial Officers" and fleet transfers between ships that don't exist in the U.S. Navy.

'I found a list of officers' names,' he claims, 'under the heading Non-Terrestrial Officers.'

'Non-Terrestrial Officers?'

'Yeah, I looked it up,' says Gary, 'and it's nowhere. It doesn't mean little green men. What I think it means is not earth-based. I found a list of fleet-to-fleet transfers, and a list of ship names. I looked them up. They weren't U.S. navy ships. What I saw made me believe they have some kind of spaceship, off-planet.'

::::::

"Non-Terrestrial Officers"
"Fleet-to-Fleet Transfers"

It looks to me like he has come across someone's database for a Space Game.
Kinda like Fantasy Football...only its a Game of some sort.
He should look into the Gaming world for the answers.

This whole thing is really laughable to me. NASA cant even get the Shuttles off correctly, Half the missions to Mars have ended in failure, The "Space Industry" is so regulated that private companies cant get far.
Sure...the Military (U.S., Russian, Europe, China) have the ability to do work in Space, but the money isnt there. The astronomical costs for an Off-World Navy, plus the publicity it would generate through inevitable leaks and heresay...would make it big news and thus, not such a secret anymore.

You cant hide for long where the People's money is being spent...especially if it were in such a large amount.

I think that this Kid who broke into the Government Computers is very smart...but talks too much.
Like i said...they should hire him...but on the clause that he stops having such delusional fantasies about "Non-Terrestrial" activities in Space.

There is one sobering point I would like to state.
Mankind will NEVER do anything truely significant in Space untill some severe problems are solved here on Earth first.
Since Human Nature is what it is...I dont believe that will ever happen.

What can I say? Ass hatted madness.
