La Huella OVNI: The Case of Gary McKinnon

Jorge Luis Sucksdorf talks about Gary McKinnon Case.

This computer expert, known as «Solo», broke into NASA.

Ideas about what he could have found.

Jorge Luis Sucksdorf shares the tale of Gary McKinnon, a Scotsman with the nickname «Solo». The United States says he did one of the biggest computer break-ins in the country’s history in 2004.

The court case started in 2006. McKinnon said he got into NASA computers and other U.S. defense systems.

Even though he said he did it, he mentioned he was just searching for stuff about aliens and hidden weapons.

This matter got very complicated, and McKinnon might have had to go to jail for up to 70 years.

After a long time of problems, in 2012, the UK leaders decided they wouldn’t send him to the United States.

Since then, McKinnon has been living in the UK, stuck at home, not allowed to use the Internet, and they took away his computers.

But the story goes on; it delves into the Gary McKinnon case and what he might have discovered.

Sucksdorf says McKinnon got curious about NASA when he heard a man named Stephen Grier speak about hidden UFO pictures.

He thinks he found UFO pictures and some folders sorted by shapes and looks, maybe for some kind of research.

Without any real proof, McKinnon thinks he saw hints of working with aliens and U.S. ship designs from the pictures he found.

Sucksdorf isn’t sure about all this since there’s no real proof.

The story also talks about people like Euler and Bob Lazar, who chat about aliens and new gadgets, but their stories often don’t have proof.

It’s tough to know if things online are true, and it’s important not to do bad things like breaking into computers.

Sucksdorf finishes by talking about McKinnon’s strange search for stuff on aliens and secret tech in U.S. computers.

Even if we haven’t seen real proof, Jorge wonders if they’re hiding something and how the U.S. handled it.

McKinnon’s story shows how hard it is to know what’s true and what’s just a guess, especially about gadgets and aliens.
