No it has not been observed in every sensible situation.
It has never been recorded in detail finishing its life cycle.
The only good recording is this and it was uncontrolled.

I like one other posters idea of having a ship spinning up FDS infront of the UA when it goes Pop.
BUt we need a better recording of this event. Close up and a few different other angles. Recorded
at highest frame rate possible.
Sure......Beacon/mapper/info gathering device...why not. It gathers local info then sends it/warps away. Can't see anything against it. How do we test for it tho?
If its an info gathering device of some sort and
if its in touch with whoever sent it
Let a UA degrade in a system that has already had a UA expire in it. - Maybe the senders would find that a waste of a UA (coz they already have that info) - so it wouldn't degrade....

If it is scouting,have to assume it looks for specific targets.
Populations,star or planet types,communications,who knows.
Now do the honk/whale MORSE things vary much in habitat space etc? Between different systems or large populated places perhaps?
Not a bad idea, but probably overcomplicated. I think it's even simpler of a reasoning than that.
Could the Kerrash comment be taken from the viewpoint of the UA?
Ie - whether or not it succeeds in its mission, it will activate.
We have video of what happens when it activates - all we need is a situation in which that would be useful (to someone)

So... Lets try out one of my worst nightmares... I hate backtracking.
Before FD said we were getting close the topic was speaking about the Morse codes and the Voyager. - Page 65-75
Did we forget something then? Is there something more to do with the Morse code it uses?
Another way of backtracking is going after FD's ideas. But this is pure speculation:
They make something cool. They want to hide it until a specified time. Make it a rewarding sneak peak for the dedicated and lucky ones. Make a rare "key" to it. Make it transmit data. Noticeable Morse code coming from it. Find a solution to get a set of "keys". -> We have the alphabet. Got to find what to use it on, where to use it.

Theory number 405873gb.....
INRA contacts have asked the Feds to transport UAs to various places, but have not told the Feds that UAs will eat their ships. When the UAs hit open space they do what ever it is that they do, then explode/report back/warp away. (your choice)
UAs have 12 pods
Thargoids have 6 legs
Therefore there are TWO Thargoids in each UA - they are MATING Pods
Thargoids only mate in open space
When they are ahem..."finished" they are consumed by their own ecstasy
aaaannd
A cloud of spores is released to perpetuate the species.......

So, my 'tilt', 'hail mary' or what have you is this.
Misjumps are a thing. But they're only possible under some set of circumstances when you have a UA. If that wasn't a restriction, I'm certain people would have been already jumping in near faulty situations and triggering them.
When people have a UA, they've usually only lost it through unfortunate circumstances. People with them are constantly keeping their ship serviceable so as to not lose it, but the galnet articles, if they are to be taken as ' hints ' all kinda point to misjumps and mechanical failure.
It wouldn't be hard to implement, but I also have no idea about the underlying implementation, so it could be really hard. But you'd dump out in an empty area. Maybe with some sort of clue about Halsee, maybe a brief alien encounter, who knows, but it'do be easy to tie off.
So what's the pseudomorse in the UA got to do with anything? Well, it's the nearest celestial body, so what's it going to say wherever you jump out of in a misjump?
Lastly, succeed or not, it will unlock? I think the gamescon announce will see events put in place that can make misjumps happen even if you have a perfectly functional ship.
No evidence to back any of this up. Just my stab in the dark, because gamescon is going to come and go before I have a chance to play again.

Could it be something as simple as Voyager Is Destination 8? Has anybody checked for signal sources in the vicinity of Neptune?
I say its a Probe. Its not dying or exploding. It travels away when it finishes its cycle.
The video we have of this is bad, it wasnt planned out.
Something happens to it and space around it. It is traveling home or to next location its supposed to go. I think they travel home.
Or possibly they become Nav Becons that stay in subspace.
I am interested in seeing what happens in detail. Detail. As much detail as we can get.
2 separate experiments of this.
One With a ship in front of it with FDS powering up, and then another without so can get better recording of the space warp it makes.
I would like to do the without ship first then with the ship with FDS powering up second.

Always amazing to find we haven't solved it yet! So some more crazy theories - first, if we do let one expire, just in case it is warping away, perhaps we should do it in a system that only has one possible jump out of it. Of course we have no idea what the jump range of a UA would be, if it is jumping, but it might give it just one place to go. Could have someone in the other system, though the odds of spotting it before it expired again would be low. Just a thought, if we are going to do it, may as well do it like this?
Next up - Voyagers disappear, Leonard Nimoy station, well, if we skip the whales, the first Star Trek saw a Voyager picked up by aliens and made sentient. Perhaps the UAs are Voyager, or some probes from a greatly enhanced Voyager? I do believe whale song was included on the Voyager golden record? Not sure what would come from that, if it were true, then what? Where we go and what we do with the UA, how would we find the modified Voyager etc. But again, just a thought.

So that is why UA Youtube videos are blocked at work, ah!
And I didn't even mention the purring sounds/squealing noises and flashing lights - what a way to go!
