A hacking collective claims to have obtained hours of on - circuit card footage from NASA ’s unmanned aircrafts , information from their climate observation commission and details about thou of NASA staff . On top of this , they allege to have taken “ semi - fond control ” of a $ 200 million ( £ 137 million ) Global Hawk drone , which they attempted to crash into the ocean .

In aPastebin thread , which   is being   continually   removed then reuploaded , Anonsecsaid they obtained pre - planned trajectory itinerary information for NASA ’s drone . The   hackers said they substitute this route with their own , which they hoped would cause the drone to deviate from its laid flight way and crash into the sea . However , the hacker say they lost access to the mesh before this was possible .

Anonsec upload 250 GB of the find dataonline , including eight   hours of raw footage from NASA ’s aerial drone fleet . Motherboardhas upload 15 hour of this footage to YouTube ( below ) .

In the thread , phallus went on to explain the justification for the attack :   “ One of the main purposes of the Operation was to bring in awareness to the reality of Chemtrails / CloudSeeding / Geoengineering / WeatherModification , whatever you need to call it , they all represent the same thing .

“ NASA even has several commission dedicate to studying Aerosols and their affect on the environment and weather , so we targeted their systems . ”

confederacy theories   about “ chemtrails ” commonly roll around the mind that the streaks of water vapor bequeath behind by airplanes are actually harmful chemical clouds . Theorists arrogate that these chemicals were developed by the military and used by administration to covertly drive some variety of secret interest . Absolutely none of this has ever been scientifically verified or punt by legitimate scientist .

NASA has denied claims that any of their datum was obtained by the group , claiming they could have happen all the info through their 30,000 openly useable databases .

NASA ship astatement to Forbesthat read , “ Control of our Global Hawk aircraft was not compromised . NASA has no grounds to show the alleged hack data point are anything other than already publicly usable data . NASA takes cybersecurity very seriously and will continue to fully inquire all of these allegations . ”
