Why is it so hard to except what Penniston said/did? If I was there, I would have done exactly what Penniston did.

ALSO do you REALLY think this is the first time Binary has been used as a language with an alleged ET contactee ? You need to read up some more - Binary is a universal language.

His (and his friends) contributions do nothing but muddy the waters.
Craft did visit the area, and the military were powerless to do anything about it. The story leaked and a coverup was required. Along came Peniston and hid buddies with a fantasy about aliens and binary data being inserted into his head! Everyone forgot about the serious penetration of air space, instead they all followed the "Aliens and binary data" story!
The first explanation of the light house looked plausible to me, a cover could have been just so the whole base would not look stupid. Living at the coast I understand how this could happen when fog is involved. The moving fog is very disorienting with lights and makes them appear to move. As you move around they seem to move a great distance but then you find they were stationary if you know what you were looking at.

Exactly. If you wanted to send a "universal message" using binary then you would send numbers, in binary. Maybe a sequence of prime numbers. Something that is totally language-independent.
E.g. you might send the following:
10
11
101
111
1011
1101
10001
and so on. Any intelligent being should be able to decode that. It is a universal code.
But even if you didn't do that, the code is utterly bogus. Let's say you wanted to send those co-ordinates. You would send the actual numbers in binary. You wouldn't write them in decimal, and then look up the (totally arbitrary, man-made) ASCII representations of those decimal number characters, and then transmit them in binary!
However, if you were a hoaxer who knew nothing about binary, or decimal, or number theory at all, but wanted some kind of pseudo-scientific "high-tech" clap trap, that is exactly what you might do...
Also, funny how Penniston never showed any of this "binary code" in his notebook until 2010, isn't it.
I have an open mind about Rendlesham, although I do think the lighthouse is by far the most likely culprit (two of the main witnesses even admitted in their primary witness statements that they followed the light for a long distance across country before realising it was the lighthouse!) But one thing I am certain of is that this "binary code" is a load of well-rotted 100% organic farmyard fertiliser cooked up long after the event.

I know binary rather well. Yes I agree that it could be universal, but are you aware of ascii? or any other interpetations?
When we use binary, we allocate letters digits and symbols to numbers, for instance the numbers from 65 (1000001) to 90 (01011010) represent the alphabet (caps). What makes you think our interpretation for the numbers would be the same as an alien interpretation?
ETA:
Peniston and his buddies expect us to believe that aliens have a table just like our one shown above!

would you mistake a lighthouse for a UFO ? Would you Mistake a tank for a car?

It's fabricated.
- It was coincidentally "discovered" just before an episode of Ancient Aliens, 30 years after the fact.
- He claimed to write it down in his little notebook the next night, but never mentioned this code when discussing the incident initially.
- The 14 pages of numbers were never seen in any interview he did at the time while flipping through his notebook for the cameras.
- He claimed he thought the numbers were just gibberish and not worth mentioning. But, at the same time he shows his gibberish type of glyph drawings.
- If the "aliens" knew binary code, they knew the English language. If they knew the English language, it's likely that's how they would communicate.
- Binary code seems more mathematical and intelligent, therefore would be the exact type of thing someone would make up to show how an intelligent being would communicate with humans. Stereotypical silliness.
This code is one of the weakest part of this entire case.

Peniston is a liar!
The event did happen, but peniston and his friends added the part about the landing and the et's to to place the event into the realms of fantasy! It was psyops, for the purpose of hiding the truth!
