London, England, March 19, 2002.
[0:00:00 - 0:00:05] ▶
Shortly after 8 a.m., the National High Tech Crime Unit arrives at the home of 36-year-old
[0:00:05 - 0:00:13] ▶
Scottish computer engineer Gary McKinnon.
[0:00:13 - 0:00:17] ▶
They are there to arrest him on behalf of the United States Justice Department for hacking
[0:00:17 - 0:00:22] ▶
into top secret computers at NASA and the Pentagon.
[0:00:22 - 0:00:27] ▶
McKinnon not only admits to the crime, but claims he uncovered evidence that the US government
[0:00:27 - 0:00:34] ▶
was working with extra-terrestrial beings.
[0:00:34 - 0:00:38] ▶
I was obsessed with UFOs. I was dying to find out the information.
[0:00:38 - 0:00:41] ▶
The internet was a real enabler for finding out information by going to places you shouldn't
[0:00:41 - 0:00:47] ▶
be in, because they were so open.
[0:00:47 - 0:00:51] ▶
There were a lot of text files that had lists of places, installations, military bases,
[0:00:51 - 0:00:55] ▶
air force bases, Navy sites, NASA sites, so there was a lot to go through.
[0:00:55 - 0:01:00] ▶
But I did find a goal of my information.
[0:01:00 - 0:01:04] ▶
According to McKinnon, he unearthed a secret US military program that existed entirely
[0:01:04 - 0:01:10] ▶
I found the spreadsheet was actually titled in the column of non-terrestrial officers,
[0:01:11 - 0:01:16] ▶
as well as officers' names. It had their ship names.
[0:01:16 - 0:01:20] ▶
None of these were no-shim-going ships.
[0:01:20 - 0:01:23] ▶
It was astounding. They're not Navy, they're not Army, and not even Air Force.
[0:01:23 - 0:01:28] ▶
So to me, I was thinking they must be an off-planet space force or space fleet at least.
[0:01:28 - 0:01:35] ▶
After McKinnon's arrest, he was told the US government intended to send him to 70 years
[0:01:35 - 0:01:41] ▶
At the time, I thought six months of community service was all you'd do for computer
[0:01:42 - 0:01:47] ▶
misuse act in Britain.
[0:01:47 - 0:01:50] ▶
We fought extra-dition for 10 years, and we actually won the case.
[0:01:50 - 0:01:55] ▶
But unfortunately, today, the arrest warrant is still live, and I'm still on the interpol
[0:01:55 - 0:02:01] ▶
red list, so I can't travel.
[0:02:01 - 0:02:04] ▶
Could it be that Gary McKinnon's account of what he saw when he hacked into computers
[0:02:04 - 0:02:09] ▶
at the Pentagon and NASA is genuine?
[0:02:09 - 0:02:13] ▶
Is the US government engaged in secret operations beyond Earth?
[0:02:13 - 0:02:18] ▶
I think Gary McKinnon is truthful in that he did see files on secret space programs
[0:02:18 - 0:02:24] ▶
and UFO-related material.
[0:02:24 - 0:02:26] ▶
Whether that information was legit or was just sitting there somewhere, we can't say,
[0:02:26 - 0:02:31] ▶
but there's no question that he did what he claimed to have done.
[0:02:31 - 0:02:35] ▶
While there are many who question the authenticity of Gary McKinnon's account, other, more notable
[0:02:35 - 0:02:41] ▶
figures have since come forward with similar claims.
[0:02:41 - 0:02:47] ▶
In 2013, former Canadian Minister of National Defense, Paul Hellier, declared that the United
[0:02:47 - 0:02:54] ▶
States government and other governments around the world are working with organized groups
[0:02:54 - 0:03:00] ▶
of extraterrestrials.
[0:03:00 - 0:03:03] ▶
Why do you say that UFOs are as real as the airplanes flying over our heads?
[0:03:03 - 0:03:08] ▶
Well, because I know that they are.
[0:03:08 - 0:03:10] ▶
They've been visiting this planet for thousands of years.
[0:03:10 - 0:03:15] ▶
And there is what is called a federation of these people.
[0:03:15 - 0:03:19] ▶
Paul Hellier was a former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and a former Minister of Defense
[0:03:19 - 0:03:23] ▶
He was able to talk to a lot of important people within the US and Canadian system.
[0:03:24 - 0:03:30] ▶
And it was his opinion, based on the sources that he had, that there are many groups that
[0:03:30 - 0:03:37] ▶
are here visiting us.
[0:03:37 - 0:03:39] ▶
Paul Hellier is not the only government official to come forward with alleged knowledge of
[0:03:39 - 0:03:45] ▶
a federation of extraterrestrial races.
[0:03:45 - 0:03:49] ▶
Recently, the former Israeli Chief of Space Security, Haim Eshed, came out and said that
[0:03:49 - 0:03:56] ▶
there is a galactic federation, and that indeed many world leaders know of and are in talks
[0:03:56 - 0:04:05] ▶
with delegates of the galactic federation.
[0:04:05 - 0:04:08] ▶
I don't know what to make of that claim.
[0:04:08 - 0:04:13] ▶
But when you have enough of them, a pattern emerges and it starts to take on a bit more
[0:04:13 - 0:04:18] ▶
gravitas in functioning as bona fide evidence.
[0:04:18 - 0:04:24] ▶
Dr. Haim Eshed claimed that the extraterrestrials in this galactic federation were in contact
[0:04:24 - 0:04:33] ▶
with governments around the world.
[0:04:33 - 0:04:36] ▶
It's a fascinating idea and one that may well be true.
[0:04:36 - 0:04:43] ▶
Should the sensational claims made by Paul Hellier and Haim Eshed be believed that close
[0:04:43 - 0:04:49] ▶
encounters of the fifth kind are occurring at the highest levels of government around
[0:04:49 - 0:04:54] ▶
the world and with entire factions of extraterrestrial beings, ancient astronaut theorists say yes
[0:04:54 - 0:05:04] ▶
and argue that recent revelations from world leaders may be preparing mankind for a groundbreaking
[0:05:04 - 0:05:10] ▶
