That's part of the problem. The public has no way of knowing.
I'd suggest the paranoia that exists around the public's lack of control represents a good portion of the mythos developed around these narratives.

I only minored in pseudo-science but time travel seems to be a practical impossibility due to the spacial displacement problem. If by some incredible super-science you were to discover how to travel backwards in time (we already know how to travel into the future of course) and moved backwards only a few hours you would (theoretically) wind up in the empty space where the earth was at that time. A time travel machine would have to simultaneously be a space travel machine with an incredibly sophisticated navigation scheme and an unlimited supply of power. Like a flying saucer for example. [cough, cough] Never mind.
Therefore, how could anyone then claim here he is lying about this episode, if he mentioned it then, one whole year after retiring from military service! Hopefully you see my point here? There is know reason for me to suspect the binary-code was a fake memory put there by the AFOSI., I tell you why that is.
I don't think he is lying. I don't think any of these guys are consciously lying about what happened to them. However, as J.P. has pointed out, some of his memories, in particular the location, was incorrect. It seems clear from their own testimony that they know their minds were messed with by something in the woods and by the military itself. To me, its an all bets are off situation. You can't tell up from down with any certainty.
The business of the code is truly strange, but the most probable explanation for it isn't time travelers from 40K in the future. It doesn't reasonably explain anything about what allegedly happened but I understand that is the impression they came away with.
Time travel may be possible but would such a device from 40K years in the future utilize ASCI and be set to broadcast cryptic English messages directly into the nervous systems human beings that touch it? It would be like discovering a section of code containing cuneiform deep inside Windows 7. An easter-egg from software engineers in the far future? It seems unlikely.
They need to make the remainder of the code public. When they do I'm sure some folks are going to go to those places if at all possible and check them out. If they are all known to contain some oddity then it won't really mean that much. However, if one or more of the locations turns up something previously undiscovered it would really be something wouldn't it?
I knew nothing about the binary code stuff. To be honest, it bothers me. Significantly. Why release something this profound 30+ years later? I really hope he didn't have an actual event and then decided to keep adding to the story because he likes the limelight. Kind of like a replicant of the one armed Swede.
BTW, I will upload some pics over the weekend.

It is highly suspicious (not to mention incredibly unlikely). But binary silliness aside, unlike the one armed bandit we're not going on the word of a single man with no evidence beyond obviously fraudulent photographs. If false it damages the case but doesn't destroy it. If true... well, it just got 1000% weirder.
Hi mate.The more pertinent question is why wouldn't you go?Also gives you a reason to bail on the outlaws' for a bit:redface:I am in England for a couple of weeks seeing my wifes family. We are staying about an hour or so from Rendlesham. So, should I go out there? Is there anyting to see? Has anyone else walked in the woods or looked out onto the same field that Col. Halt reported the object over? Has anyone seen the lighthouse? Is it worth going?
Thanks for any input!
