Gary McKinnon "UFO Tracker"

TheTamshee says: the yanks need to take a long hard look in the mirror of reality, it is quite unbeliveable that they think Gary McKinnon is some mastermind criminal, to be hounded for years because he had the expertise to hack into some of the most powerful computer systems the US had at their disposal. "The US government says Mr McKinnon was responsible for the "biggest military hack of all time", involving 97 government computers belonging to organisations including the US Navy and Nasa." Mr McKinnon has admitted hacking into the system in 2001-2, but claims he was looking for evidence of extra-terrestrial life. The US government alleges his conduct was intentional and calculated to influence and affect it by "intimidation and coercion". It says the cost of repair totalled more than 700,000 US dollars (£436,000) At the High Court in London, Mr McKinnon's lawyer discribed Gary as "an eccentric person who has passionate views about UFOs". He began writing his own software programmes at 14, and was diagnosed with Asperger's last August. Mr McKinnon was caught as he tried to download a grainy black and white photograph which he believed was an alien spacecraft from a Nasa computer housed in the Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas. He was easily traced by the authorities because he used his own email address. He has always said he had no malicious intent but was looking for classified documents on UFOs which he believed the US authorities had suppressed. He has signed a statement accepting his hacking constituted an offence under the UK's Computer Misuse Act 1990. The court heard that Mr McKinnon, 43, could expect a sentence of 8-10 years if he is extradited and convicted. TheTamshee continues: so the "Fix" costs were high but Gary proved that their system was seriously flawed. Mr McKinnon should have been rewarded for highlighting this fact. It is also clear that Gary did not atempt to conseal his E-mail address, which is strong evidence that he acted without malice. If the UK goverment has any balls, they should veto the extradition to the US. Gary was on UK soveriegn soil when the crime was committed and if there is charges to be answered, then this should be done in the UK courts, straight and simple. If a US sponsored bank is robbed in London of say $500,000 the criminals are not extradited to the US for trial.

View "Inchgarth Deck"

TheTamshee says: while capturing this early evening shot of the setting sun with light rain shower, the mysteries cone shape ( top right ) was not evident in field of view, what can it be ? certainly not a bird or plane. Could it possibily be a rain drop ? or are we being watched by the alien nation ?

The Tully Saucer Nest

In Queensland, Australia, near the town of Tully, on January 19 1966, 28 year-old farm worker George Pedley was working the fields with his tractor. Thinking he had detected a problem with the tractor's engine, he bent down to listen to it more closely. Just then, as he heard a sharp hissing sound, he looked up and was startled to see a disc-shaped object lifting off from the nearby Horseshoe Lagoon. The mystery craft ascended 30 feet into the air and then sped off, dipping slightly as it passed beneath the trees. Pedley later described the disc as metallic in appearance, about 25 feet wide, with no visible portholes and no sign of any occupants. TheTamshee: enjoys reading these fasinating accounts of strange encounters with UFO's.

UFO above Selkirk

TheTamshee says: log Into the title link to check out Micheal Irving's account of strange lights or is it alien craft ? hoovering over the old chimney that used to be Ettrick & Yarrow Yarn Spinners. This took place over a period of just over one minute, at 5.40pm, on 7th February, at Selkirk; approximately five miles south-west of the Eildon Hills.

Extra-Terrestrial "Greys"

Alien Encounter Greys are the aliens most commonly encountered in modern alien encounter reports. Their appearance is now very familiar to the general public: small, bulbous-headed, with large, slanting eyes and thin limbs, they represent our modern idea of "the alien." Some have suggested that Stephen Spielberg's classic UFO film, Close Encounters, launched the image of the Grey alien into popular consciousness and that this is what accounts for the preponderance of "Grey" sightings in recent decades. There were certainly reports of extra-terrestrials matching the Grey description before this, however. Barney and Betty Hill, two of the more famous ET abductees, claimed to have been whisked away in a UFO by aliens matching the Grey description, who then performed experiments on the couple before erasing their memories. Only hypnosis allowed the two to remember what had happened. Betty Hill later drew a star map which she said one of the aliens had shown to her when she asked where they came from. This was later identified as corresponding to the Zeta Reticuli star system, leading many to believe that this is the home of the Greys. Some of those who claim to have seen alien bodies, either stored in secret military facilities, or at the scene of a UFO crash - such as that in Roswell, New Mexico - have offered descriptions of the corpses which correspond perfectly to that of the Grey alien in UFO contact reports.

TheTamshee believes: Gordon Cooper was one of the astronauts aboard America’s first manned mission in space. In later years, he became known for his frank views on the UFO subject. Cooper said he had seen UFOs several times in the course of his life. None of these sightings occurred during his spaceflights, it should be pointed out; they all took place during his earlier career as a military pilot. Cooper mentioned seeing a flight of metallic discs flying over a US Air Force base in Germany. He even claimed to have filmed a UFO landing in 1957, this time at Edwards Air Force base in the United States. Cooper and a camera crew had been tasked with developing a new landing system at the base. As they shot film, a flying saucer was spotted. Naturally, the camera crew focused on it as it drew closer, extended some landing gear and landed on a dry lake bed nearby. They crept up on it, filming all the while and managed to get to within 20 to 30 feet before it took off again. Cooper reviewed the film and confirmed that it showed everything that had happened. Then he was ordered to send it in a sealed bag to Washington. It was never heard of again. This was not to be Cooper’s only experience with having film he took mysteriously confiscated. When he returned from one of his space missions, he found that some of the images he took from orbit were confiscated too – because he had photographed Area 51!

UFO's In London ?

Derek Burdon was left stunned when he took a scenic picture of the UK capital then noticed four flying saucers on the far right of the picture. The photographs were taken 16 floors up on the roof top of Orion House in Covent Garden in the morning. Although invisible to the naked eye, the shapes can be clearly seen on the picture. Derek, 40, of Leverington, Cambs, said: "We couldn't believe it when we came to look at the photo. I just thought I would take some scenic shots of the London Eye and also Big Ben. There was nothing unusual in the photo and it was only when we flicked through them later that we saw them and then it started a big UFO debate. I have not tampered with the photo and you would not be able to fake it. It was taken on my mobile and I guess I am just lucky to have it. These shapes were not visible to the naked eye so it's not as if I was looking for them. In Feburary video footage of a UFO hovering above the British coastline was captured by holidaymakers in Somerset. Caravaners were left baffled when the mysterious cylinder hovered over a busy campsite in Brean, Somerset. TheTamshee says: you need to take a look here - surely the picture below is the alien mothership - guised up as our very own spy base GCHQ - yes, all sorts of secrets flying around in the corridors of governments buildings.
