Okay, I'm having a hard time buying into all this.
Can someone explain to me how the guy obtained the binary code? Did it just magically come into his head as he was staring at the craft or did he transcribe it from something written on the craft?
If he just thought it up, then this is nonsense. First of all, binary code has been around for, what, 30 some years? So this guy has 9 pages of binary code written down from an alien visitation and JUST NOW decides, "Oh, you know what, I should probably go get this decoded???????"
You'd think he might have checked it out, oh I don't know, 29 years ago?

He could have decoded it himself whilst in the Air Force and come out with it as soon as he came out with the Rendlesham story. You don't need a specialist or a computer to encode or decode binary into text.

My belief in the witnesses of the incident compels me to believe what I'm seeing is true, but I'm guessing it's to good to be....

But could he have made up the text and then converted it into binary code? After that he could simply release the code and claim that he got it by touching the space craft.

Very interesting stuff. S&F
The man seems to be a fairly conservative rational average dude, the kind that would legitimately be concerned about how people would perceive him should he release these codes together with the rest of his incredible story. How someone of average intelligence, from that generation could put together a message like that, and then identify a mythical island location mentioned here and there throughout antiquity seems fairly remote.
This isn't the first time experiencers have been left with mental impressions that are beyond their mental powers and comprehension and in turn question their sanity. More evidence that these visiting advanced beings have a much firmer grasp of the powers of the mind than we do.
I don't think it's that uncommon for him to sit on a little bit of evidence like this code. He probably thought the story he told at the time was outlandish enough let alone releasing this code stuff that would take it to a new level of 'crack pot'.
Man, this Rendlsham business just won't go away.
The plot thickens considerably.
I wonder if they have undergone regression to see if they could fill in the blanks from what they together have forgotten.

The small segment of text that was produced from his code that he wrote is monumental. You would have more chance of assembaling a fully functioning F17 from a tornado passing through a junk yard then writing that from memory.
Its a statistical impossibility that someone today could have memorised that entire sequence, and even less likely that they could have simply guess it.
The words first came into popular usage among computer users with the increased popularity of Bulletin Board Systems (BBSs), facilitated by the widespread distribution and implementation of dial-up access the in the 1970s.
