QuoteUFO technology, free energy and how UFOs are regularly airbrushed out from high-resolution satellite images.

Although I agree, you ought to give a reason.

I'll give two:

#1: he talks about using wordpad to talk to somebody. I've never heard of a hacker using a GUI hacking tool (vnc? rdesktop?) before.

#2: he talks about scanning 65k addresses. I doubt that NASA has a Class B, most stuff they do is likely NATed.

He talks about turning his TV down to 4bit and a low resolution to speed up the download.

On a side note, there was a kid at my school years ago who actually did hack into NASA (at least I think it was NASA). Not really sure, but it's what all the teachers have told us.
