But Briton Gary McKinnon says he is just an ordinary computer nerd who wanted to find out whether aliens and UFOs exist.

Very interesting article about a man from the UK who hacked US government computers to find more about UFOs and Aliens.


"I can't talk about a lot of stuff that I found. It's just not the right time," he said with a smile.

I think it's kind of cool, though what he did was wrong, it'd be kind of cool to find out the TRUTH

Maybe, but I don't think the government are stupid enough to keep any information about UFOs (even if they had any proper information) on computers which hackers would target.
