Episode 7: Iran conflict absorbs all federal resources, effectively pausing President Trump's February 19th UAP disclosure directive. However, a remarkable story resurfaces: Gary McKinnon, the British hacker who breached 97 U.S. government systems in 2002—accessing NASA, the Pentagon, and military networks—breaks his silence in a new interview with Jesse Michels on the American Alchemy podcast.

At NASA's Building 8 (Johnson Space Center), McKinnon accessed a high-resolution image of a silvery cigar-shaped craft hovering above Earth—smooth, with no visible propulsion—before being manually disconnected. He also discovered a spreadsheet labeled "non-terrestrial officers" listing ranks and ship-to-ship transfers. The consequences were severe: 70 years threatened, decade-long extradition battle, Britain blocked the transfer to protect his life, and McKinnon remains on Interpol's red list today.
