The rotating circles that signify the alien countdown are indeed *counting* down... in binary. The circles in their horizontal and vertical configurations correspond to zeroes (0) and ones (1) respectively, and the least significant bit (LSB) on the viewer's left. The sequence in which they turn correspond to a binary countdown. The leftmost lit circle is not part of the binary count. There is an initial pattern of "all horizontal", following which the countdown actually begins (starting with "all vertical").
