Really looking forward to the results of trying to sell it at Nimoy station - it really seems ominously obvious.

Also I see a reference to the Mycoid Virus in the Wiki, but has anyone been to a system with outbreak an active state and the UA in cargo? With the latest phage references that might also be a valid test.

Yes, Ratking15 did this the other day, didn't see anything new on the bulletin board, nor any other new behaviour. He also let it out in this system and recorded it - no new behaviour.

Just dropping in with a idea.

We have struggled in the past to find a number conversion rate for the sounds.

If the symbols on the side are in fact Mayan symbols then maybe that has been placed there as a visual clue saying use the Mayan number system to decipher the sounds.

We know the clicking is the nearest gravity body / system in a modified morse code, but maybe the Mayan hint would help make sense out of the rest of the numbers / sounds without getting into the statistical analysis too much as I believe that the solution will be a simple one once we get there.

This thought also came to my mind. My collegue, a mathematician, told me a while back ago that if this purrs are some kind of code the fact that they are so random could mean, that its come kind of two layered encryption. The first layer scatters this binary numbers in the way we see it. Thats why they look so "random" and artificial(no more than two of the same number following each other resulting in only ~63 different sequences) at the same time. The second layer would be binary we can either convert directly into ascii or it is another code that contains atleast some kind of static data. But all this would be in my opinion the exact opposite of frontiers hint to not over-think it. I also have no idea what we could use this mayan numbers for to decrypt it. :(

Just to clarify Ratking15 did the Mycoid Virus thing not the selling thing right?
Click to expand...

Yes, not the selling thing :) (Thats also one of my favourite theories, but I can't seem to get my hands on one of these slippery blighters!)

To everyone, I have just made a couple more edits to the wiki regarding the wonderful (but impossible to prove) theories from our new friend, and had to remove quite a lot of conjecture and personal opinion. We invite input to the wiki openly and honestly, but I hope that the wiki can remain a place where we simply -report- what we find without adding our own opinions, that's what the forum is for.

http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Unknown_Artefact

As for adding the sound analysis/binary/numerology(?) stuff, please go for it; I've already added a sub page for Audio/video, I would imagine that would be a good place for that? But its our wiki to do with what we see fit.

http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Unknown_Artefact/List_of_recordings

And thanks to the Mods for, well, moderating, I was not looking forward to using the ignore feature for the first time in almost three months and ~12,000 posts. Keep up the good work commanders!

Ya I went with the attached portion of the"pod" as down. Also the intro-glyph seemed to match better with that alignment. Since it seems to be giving us dates - I was hoping they would correspond to known supernovae ... or something along those lines ... havent made any connections yet.

Hi again.

Your direction seems most logical.
I still think we should do both directions.
The AD/BC could be a clever way to write positive and negative numbers.

The tablets on the UA are stricingly similar to Mayan date tablets, but the system is slightly modified with only 3 columms.
We need to keep our eys open for all possibilities.

No further questions gentlemen. I think the two of you have summed it up.

I will end the evening with a warning:
Do not do binary decoding of Purrs without checking what others have done before.
Pleas don't waste your time.

Going along with that 2-layered thought, if the purrs are the data, could the green/purple colour pulse be the cipher?
Only count the ones when the colour is green (or purple)?

I was just watching star trek IV the voyage home.. and in it v-gers transmission was modified so that they could listen it as it would sound underwater. The unknown artefact surely has a "watery" feel to it if you watch and listen to it.. with whale like sounds etc.. so who knows, maybe that message is meant to be listened underwater or maybe underammonium if its of thargoid origin...

Yes, that would sound reasonable. Would be pretty easy to do and to test if this blinking lights overlap with the purrs. I think a good start would be this video at ~6:00 because we have transcribed all purrs here and here.

I can not help much on that because im red-green color blind. :(

OK, I admit I've not read and followed all the theories......

But looking at this post made me think - what if when the UA's expire, they point the direction as to where to go in terms of direction?

Having see video of one of them expire yesterday, there seems to be a spout in the explosion which is unusual - could it be pointing in the direction of where to go in terms of the universe? Just thinking as to whether these UA's are probes or something - sending information back upon explosion.

No laughing please - I genuinely haven't ready all the posts on this topic (bit difficult to really)!
Click to expand...

It might be disprovablee by checking footage from various explosions and seeing if the plume(?) is always in the same direction relative to the UA and checking if the UA sits facing different directions when released.

If it is it's likely just a graphical artifact without any meaning.

If you want to test the purrs with corresponding colour pulses, I have a video of over 2 hrs when I was getting the morse letters that you can use.

Well I finally went back and watched the wings 1.2 trailer to see what was in it as far as the UA was concerned and I would have to say taking one to the Leonard Nimoy space station and selling it is a test that really has to be done as far as in your face clues are concerned.
I understand they're rare but what if it is the key to maybe a mission or information or whatever.
I'm doing my best these days to find one and selling it there will be the first and last thing I do with it.
Click to expand...

On this, yeah there may be something in it, I know QorbeQ likes this idea and plans to do it if he gets a UA.

But to say..

I took a trip to the system mentioned in the trailer.

While sitting out there waiting for SSSs it struck me how unrealistic that wings trailer actually is. It's set way out in the California Nebula, backup is called and short range Eagles and FDLs appear in 30 seconds.

They essentially picked a good looking bit of space and added some good looking (but unlikely) ships.

The trailer was not too long after Leonard's death, that station was chosen simply because it has much more resonance than something like Hudson Orbital.

I tend to think it's just a cinematic creation with no meaning.

Good morning CMDRs!

I don't want to become another "daygobah" case, so I'm bringing some proofs to you ;)


Finally, here is the 4th mysterious sound the UA emits, in a continuous loop of about 5 seconds: I've isolated and amplified it.
For reference I'm talking about it here, not repeating myself again.

Activate the loop function at the bottom of the page, to hear it indefinitely. Tell me what you hear.
https://soundcloud.com/riccardo-sallusti/ua-4th-sound-isolated-clip



To me it seems MORSE code indeed! I'm not any good to decode MORSE but it seems something like:

.- .- .... --- ..

that decoded means "aahoi" that means absolutely nothing to me.
But an expert's ear could find it says something else: perhaps a system's name?

This is the recording I've isolated the clip from:
https://soundcloud.com/azerusrtifici...plague-ua-test
The sound is starting at 1:30, when the camera is very close to the UA, and repeats itself in the aforementioned loops of 5 seconds.

EDIT:
Here is a second clip without the chittering:
https://soundcloud.com/riccardo-sall...solated-clip-2

where it sound like this:
_ _ _ _ (pause) ._._..._

atleast it sounds similar, if it is ahoi, then it might be a joke xD
