Translating english into a code like encryption, seemed like a good idea.
Actually, this is the ongoing problem with all of these stories. The assumption that English encoded into an encryption, or into a series of dots,
numbers, whatever, is somehow NOT ENGLISH.
Context is everything. Exactly how encrypting English (or any language) into a code, and then sending it without any understanding of context would
do ANYTHING boggles my mind.
I can beam Russian mixed with Cantonese in binary, but if you don't have context you could easily spend your entire life hearning it and never
understanding it.
Morse code. Binary. Hex. Pig Latin. Doesn't freakin' matter.
binary is just 1s and 0s as far as i know? odds are, that other civilizations who have advanced "computer"-like systems, would you a similar coding?
maybe with 0s, 1s, 2s, 3s.... ?
therefore, wether they would use numbers or some kind of letters for 1s and 0s, they would still recognize the system. even if this kind of system
would had been several thousands of years behind them in technology, they should be able to see it.
as for the message "we are not talking to you", could it have something to do with the theories of US shooting down UFOs? maybe they dont want to risk
it too much, which is why we are seeing more of the small white orbs (drones?), instead of actual "ships"?
just wondering, of course. i do not claim in any way to have proof or even believe that this is the truth.
