Yeah that.......looks like the UA.......except it's missing....parts.....I'm gonna see about heading to that system and dock....

Ok, perhaps it is not human made as I speculated, but...
Good luck. I'm going to head around there and look around for anything weird.
The clip from what seems to be known as RedWizzard's video (technically it is MY video OF Red Wizzard, natch) is a bit of special case as there were so many Commanders floating around in close proximity that weird things started happening like the cargo duplication bug.
However, there is another video, from Wishblend, showing a UA expiring in space just before she is able to pick it up:

As you can see, that explosion was somewhat less dramatic and nothing special happens.
Yes, you can open voice coms with any other player.
The frequency of the honks is precisely determined by the length of time taken for the UA to cycle through it's Morse transmission - so it's kind of static to the system, but more precisely it's static for the specific location within the system that you drop it (planet names are longer than system names, except specially named planets).
So, unfortunately, this isn't really a way to achieve what you're suggesting.

OK, I suppose that play back the UA sounds to the game was already tested, right ?
And tried somebody to play Morse back to game audio input ?
Sorry for not crediting you Doctor. I'm on my phone in a cabin, so I go by memory.
It's not a very presice device :-/
I read it, I just was posting about the UA angle & that I couldn't test the combination. Sorry, was just clearing out tabbed comments to respond to. :/
Woah, I've never seen such a giant conspiracy-theory-party!
Premade tinfoil hats are on the table, by the punch.
I'm six jumps from there; I can hop over and look, too. What would we expect to find - Strong signals and poke into them?

So the similarity to the phage on the Wiki is, well, spooky to say the least... Following that line of enquiry with a lot of interest...
But...
The UA is not microscopic - so why would it resemble a microscopic organism? Is it a kind-of visual joke? What's it going to infect being that big? Space mega fauna!?
Seriously, though, I prefer your human-made idea to alien made. If it's designed to infect human things, then one would expect the brown stuff to have hit the fan when it was released inside a station (done a while ago now).
Ancient Mycoid canister would be more likely - humans have nothing that the Mycoid virus would want to infect, as it was engineered for the Thargs, hence why we can't get it to do anything.
The Morse? To allow those that launched it the ability to track where it was and that it was functional, although I'm not sure of the physics in being able to track a low-powered radio signal, such as that made by the UA, over light years, which is also part of the reason why I've never held with the idea that it's much of a beacon - only a 'local' beacon if at all.
If we take the purple/blue 'fairies' flying around the UA as being both 'alive' and having come from inside it, then that implies it's carrying something that can survive in hard vacuum. Or, it's just energy packets given off by it.
Reading back through this post, now, and smiling at just how contradictory this damn UA is and how nothing ever *quite* fits!
Anyway, let's see what happens in the plague system... Interesting stuff!

But if you wear the tinfoil hats then you don't stand a chance of hearing the voices they are transmitting!
I swear if this thing is a bacteria, I don´t want to meet the thing that sneezed it.
Hi mrtree.
Good work out there on the front line.
I have a request. Could you please make some focused screen shots of the two different "Maya number" bars. The narow one is most important. We have good shots of the other one.
No need for video and no hurry.
True, the honks don't change, but perhaps the purr group length does? So maybe you'd get more purrs the closer to wherever it wants to be, or something similar. If we're ruling out the complex ideas, that might be one of the simpler solutions to try (probably need that multi-ship relay idea bitstorm proposed here to test it though).

Did no-one read my post from before, I think it highlights something really important.
