Thanks, Flavius.

Dave, for the ping list?

I've wondered how far this hacker got. Should be interesting to see how far the court thing is allowed to go.

This guy must be letting his hair roots grow into his brain if he was looking for a government that can keep a secret about alien crash incidents over half a century ago but whose intelligence agency leaks like an New Orleans levee in a Cat 6 hurricane.

Banned from using the internet...

Cruel and unusual punishment ping.

I got one picture out of the folder, and bearing in mind this is a 56k dial-up, so a very slow internet connection, in dial-up days, using the remote control programme I turned the colour down to 4bit colour and the screen resolution really, really low, and even then the picture was still juddering as it came onto the screen.

Anyone want to explain how this is even possible? I smell BS.

NASA, if anything, was filtering out U.S. Spy Satellites, most likely. That pic is obviously one of them, if not something more benign.

They are of immeasurable importance to our military and to our security. Do we want other countries to know we have the most advanced ones? Heck, No.

This guy is a big, fat, turkey. 60 years is fine with me.

GM: Yes, exactly, there were no lines of defence. There was a permanent tenancy of foreign hackers. You could run a command when you were on the machine that showed connections from all over the world, check the IP address to see if it was another military base or whatever, and it wasn't.

"Get a Mac" ping. ;')

Old-age pensioners can't pay their fuel bills,

False.

countries are invaded to award oil contracts to the West,

False.

secretive parts of the secret government are sitting on suppressed technology for free energy.

False. Obviously, if there were free energy technology, the government would make immediate use of it, even if in secret, in the interests of national security.

There was a group called the Disclosure Project. They published a book which had 400 expert witnesses ranging from civilian air traffic controllers, through military radar operators, right up to the chaps who were responsible for whether or not to launch nuclear missiles. They are some very credible, relied upon people, all saying yes, there is UFO technology, there's anti-gravity, there's free energy, and it's extra-terrestrial in origin, and we've captured spacecraft and reverse-engineered it.

"Hey, Bob! I told this geek who hacked into the public website server that there's something called 'the Disclosure Project', and he believed me!" "Ha! Ha! Good one, Frank! Tell him there's a secret base with anti-gravity vehicles and free energy capture devices."

But what came on to the screen was amazing. It was a culmination of all my efforts. It was a picture of something that definitely wasn't man-made. It was above the Earth's hemisphere. It kind of looked like a satellite. It was cigar-shaped and had geodesic domes above, below, to the left, the right and both ends of it, and although it was a low-resolution picture it was very close up. This thing was hanging in space, the earth's hemisphere visible below it, and no rivets, no seams, none of the stuff associated with normal man-made manufacturing.... No, the graphical remote viewer works frame by frame. It's a Java application, so there's nothing to save on your hard drive, or at least if it is, only one frame at a time... Once I was cut off, my picture just disappeared... I saw the guy's hand move across.

I'm pretty credulous, but I find it hard to believe anyone could believe this offal.
