The message within the disk was deciphered using the standard 8 bit binary code known as ASCII ( American Standard Code for Information Interchange) .  The cipher starts at the center of the disk and spirals outward counter-clockwise, this is also the same read pattern that a compact disc or DVD uses. Example of how lasers read CDs/DVDs: Decoding the Message: One more example: The Message Translated: The empty spaces represent the binary number of ZERO and the blocks represent the binary number ONE.  Using this cipher we get the following message: "Beware the bearers of false gifts and their broken promises. Much pain, but still time. Believe there is good out there. We oppose deception. Conduit closing. 0x07" The binary code of 0x07 at the end of the message would produced a bell sound similar to that of an old typewriter / bell sound (Example: DING!). Exact Construction: (A) Beware the bearers of FALSE gifts & their BROKEN PROMISES. (B) Much PAIN but still time.BELIEVE. (C) There is GOOD out there.We OPpose DECEPTION. Conduit CLOSING ( Ding! ) Is this a friendly message from benevolent beings? The message sounds friendly enough and is just want we want to hear. But I think this is a deception, and you will see why. Those who study or already are in contact
