Gary Mckinnon MUFON Symposium 2017
A Live Interview with Gary McKinnon
In March of 2002 Gary was arrested for hacking into NASA, the US Army, the US Navy, the US Air Force and the Pentagon. In November of that year, the US Attorney General announced that they intended to extradite Gary to America to stand trial for his crimes there, and so began the 10 year legal battle to get Gary tried in his own country.
Bio
Gary McKinnon was born in Glasgow, Scotland on the 10th February 1966. He lived there until he was 6, at which point he moved down to London, England, to live with his Mother and Stepfather. After leaving school he had many jobs, from labouring to office work to hairdressing, you name it and he probably did it. In his early 20’s a family friend suggested he should work in computers since he obviously had a natural aptitude, having been programming since the age of 11. This was the start of a good career in IT, and it was how he learned about computer-networking. He also had a long-term interest in UFOs since the age of 10. In time his knowledge of networking and thirst for UFO knowledge led him to break the law in order to find out the truth, and led him to be speaking here today.
