I agree and asked for an improved spawn rate before when others were asking for hints.
I understand that they want these to be rare but currently the spawn rate is just punitive, particularly as they have been 'discovered' already.

Aye, you would have though they'd have a mission enabling you to get hold of on...

*cough it's currently broken*
 
Ah the high pitched thing in the background? Not noticed that before.

I am not the experts btw.

I'm really struggling to make it into morse but it seems to be set of notes that repeat around 3 times over your recording.

This is getting a bit close encounters but been mucking around on a keyboard and to me it sounds like CDCGECDCDC pause repeat.

Here I made a flute recording of it....

That?

My music skills aren't very good as you can see!

Good spot! I hear it as a repeating musical phrase in F#. The intervals are 13131 151 or F#A#F#A#F# F#C#F#. I don't think the key is as important as the interval pattern though.
 
Was just about to post those screenshots.....but I'm thinking from those bits of light.....it could be fake along with that ship...he got pulled out of hyperspace which was done instantly and had no effects unlike what we've had from being pulled out of supercruise where we know that it's happened along with our ship tumbling and a text/voice message saying we've been pulled out....and the fact that when your ship gets destroyed you have an eject warning no matter the reason of ship destruction...when the shields go down the text is dulled out.......there is also no indications as to where he got hit from on his ship hologram thing as well....so fake.

Its not visible on radar and i cant recognize the ship.
The thrusters or weapons or what the glowing bits are...i dont recognize them either...
what is it?

the glowy bits are weapons, gimballed it seems but they hit like railguns...i try to capture a picture of them

Well made Hoax.
And the maker explains how he made it:

I'm not saying it a hoax but the fact the rest of there videos on youtube involve video game development an they have zero other elite videos. Set of alarm bells.

edit

Good points there
He said:
Who wants me to upload a video explaining how I did this, so that you can do it yourself?
so it might just be a fake

also someone on reddit said:
I would've believed this if it weren't for the shield's offline indicator.

"You were killed by Thargoid"

Bugged text, must be legit.

It looks like a misjump. Duamta is explored, the pilot ends up in "Unknown", also no star in front.

Yes, I reckon a fake too, albeit a clever fake.

For example, look at the screenshots in Lazerus' post, it looks like a masked image of the cockpit has been brightened to create the flash effect.
While admittedly I've not actually checked, wouldn't actual in-game lighting from a laser shot look different?
 
Ahhh so he knows how to misjump? =)

after reading some comments and watching the video a few more times, i belive that it is a fake too.
Im not mad though, its a nice vid, and im glad that its a hoax since the thargoid attacked for no reason at all...and somehow that doesnt fit for them...also i dont want to fight them :( i want their ships and weapons in a peacefull trade...unless there is some form of mechanical AI faction, then i want them as buddy

Aye looks fake, the exit from hyperspace is really sudden, there's normally a faded transition. It almost looks like someones cut and editted it together. =p
