What do you think of this?

I saw a link to this interview on another forum today, and I'd like to see what all of you here think about this.

UK Hacker fears "UFO Cover-up:"

So, is he just covering his ass in this case and hoping people go for it, or do you think he actually found what he said he did?

And more importantly, if he's telling the truth here, what implications do you see?

This thing was hanging in space, the earth's hemisphere visible below it, and no rivets, no seams, none of the stuff associated with normal man-made manufacturing.

SK: Is it possible this is an artist's impression?

GM: I don't know... For me, it was more than a coincidence. This woman has said: "This is what happens, in this building, in this space centre". I went into that building, that space centre, and saw exactly that.

SK: Do you have a copy of this? It came down to your machine.

GM: No, the graphical remote viewer works frame by frame. It's a Java application, so there's nothing to save on your hard drive, or at least if it is, only one frame at a time.

SK: So did you get the one frame?

GM: No.

SK: What happened?

GM: Once I was cut off, my picture just disappeared.

I find it hard to believe that an uber-hacker-dude wouldn't be able to, say, take a screenshot of a important image (that he admittedly lowered the quality on). I wouldn't be surprised if he really believed he was telling the truth, and his resume is rather impressive, but it's all the same old tinfoil-hat conspiracy rubbish. If there are actually any alien overlords reading this and planning to purge the unbelievers: i had no choice! They would destroy me if they knew!

And more importantly, if he's telling the truth here, what implications do you see?

Well it would be an Outside Context Problem. I don't know how i'd react to, say, President Bush declaring that America has been studying alien technology for decades. The story of this hacker guy might make a good episode of Stargate.

Even the slashdot crowd thinks this guy's story is bunk.

His story about hacking into the system has all sorts of inconsistencies. And like Winston Blake said, who spends years hacking into a government system and then doesn't manage to take a screenshot?
