Default Government UFO coverup, legal ploy, publicity stunt or just plain insanity?

Check this out:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/click_online/4977134.stm

So, it it true? I can see many reasons why people would want to cover up discoveries like "free energy" and "anti-gravity". There would be worldwide chaos, economic unstability, governments would collapse. The whole economy is built on energy prices. Who knows what would happen? (the economy is heading for failure anyway, but this would make it happen overnight) I'm sure rich and powerful people would do whatever it takes to prevent anything from affecting their riches and power.

There are a couple things that make this "UFO coverup" sound dubious. First - have any large group of people ever been known to keep a secret? Wouldn't at least one person want to gain riches and historical fame from being the first to tell such an important and shocking revelation that aliens definitely exist? (whoever leaked the story would probably be quickly assassinated by the oil company executives, but at least they'd get a spot in the history books ;-)) Second - why is it always the US government agencies supposedly covering up these "alien visitations"? Do the aliens only like visiting the US? I'm sure they'd rather visit Europe to get some decent food. (maybe the aliens are fascinated by all the chemicals in US food ...or is it that the advertising is so alluring? :-D). Many other countries also have satellites so why aren't they ever suspected of "covering up"? Maybe it's because the US have the most advanced satellites - capable of photographing a pimple on a gopher's buttocks.

So is it a legal ploy to suggest vital information for the case is being withheld by US agencies or embarrass the US agencies so that they don't extradite him? Or is the guy just deluded and insane?

What do you think?

Most of what he said sounded like he was taking the p*ss out of a gullible interviewer ;-)

Quite.

Quote:
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.
So he reckons a java application can't write to his hard disk? Sounds more like a HelloWorldApplet.class to me ;-)

Quote:
SK: So did you get the one frame?

GM: No.

SK: What happened?

GM: Once I was cut off, my picture just disappeared.
Badly coded then, was it?

Quote:
SK: You were actually cut off the time you were downloading the picture?

GM: Yes, I saw the guy's hand move across.
ROFL! What?

All said, I think he needs evicting from here...
