Spanish Art

The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University presents the exhibition, El Greco to Velázquez: Art during the Reign of Philip III, made for this Spanish court four centuries ago. The show will also introduce great unknown masters of painting and sculpture. The exhibition includes 52 master paintings, including seven late works by El Greco and three early works by Velázquez, monumental altar pieces, life-sized portraits, some of the earliest still-life paintings in Europe, full-length carved and painted wooden sculptures of Spanish saints and more than 50 pieces of period glass and ceramics.

Because of his search for evidence on the existence of UFOs, 40-year-old Briton hacker Gary McKinnon is in trouble, awaiting extradition to the USA from his London home. He had raided official NASA site and is facing a 70-year prison sentence.
Gary claims he saw photos of alien space crafts on NASA`s site. He says he was inspired for his action by Hugh Cornwall`s Guide for Hackers and his main interest are secrets of the American government on alien space crafts and high technology. He claims he has found documents recording 400 testimonies of unidentified flying objects.
Flight controllers and persons in charge of controlling nuclear missiles wrote down their unusual encounters with UFOs. Witnesses spoke of up to date technology which they took over from UFOs or destroyed it. NASA is in possession of a large amount of photos and processed and unprocessed documents. When asked if this was just another strategic game of the American Army or a reconstruction of a hypothetic situation, Gary responded that anything was possible because it is widely known that the army wants complete sky domination.
