I got the systems input data from EDSC, plugged it into Mathematica and that's basically what I got out. Don't really think it's of much importance since it's not "obvious".
Has anyone compared the stations these things have been brought to against the outbreak of the plague?
"Cmdr Blain Crighton of the Angeli Imperial issued an apology today to the HIP 21778 Free after a Python registered to the group jettisoned one of the Unknown Artifacts the group had liberated of Federal Naval Vessels operating in Un No Myoin inside the Orbis Station and then impacted with the object during an effort to scoop up the artifact."
Was there an outbreak in HIP 21778 or Un No Myoin ?
No outbreak or any other activity in either system
That was my article, in the hopes that if FDev needed to add the plague they would know where to do it, I have no idea what they track.
No so far, we are monitoring Crown gateway.
Nothing. Noone has been there as it requires a permit I think.
Could people please look at the wiki page : http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Unknown_Artefact
It's not as complete as it could be but a lot of these questions are answered there.

Been at work....err thinking about the UA and this posting kept plaguing me! As did someone saying "phallus", someone else saying look at the shape, another saying.........it will unlock and yet another going off to look for the other part. Ok jumping on the voices in my head (which are simply arguing amongst themselves over the posts I saw yesterday) and so I don't claim this theory as my own entirely. Well you know where I'm going with this don't you, of course you do.
The UA is the male part of the problem and the port pictured above is the female part (gender stereotyping permitted). As someone pointed out quite rightly the petals (my own words) around the centre don't match the UA's either in shape or number and therefore PAH puff goes the idea.
Well no, not really. You see (ahem) maybe not all the UA needs to enter the port to be sucessful! Maybe the UA just (oh dear God no....) needs to get its (flip me) head in (pnarr pnarr) only. I do sincerely apologise and will be upping my medication presently. Ok maybe all the UA is needed inside, you know better than I, the shape of the thing (UA), maybe the head end is no wider than the canister arms anyway. The petals could just be guiding lights in a similar way to which some space stations illuminate.
Maybe the purrs relate how many outposts from the main Sun the relevant one is, absolutely no data to support this my end and this bit should be ignored.
So back to the UA being a key to unlock and the original poster's port picture being the lock. What do you think? Worth a test? Please contact Sigon for further details as I may be banned for a little while whilst they refit my straight jacket.
P.S. I know all the someone's have names but for speeds sake I've not done my research. I hope I've not offended anyone.

Just to make a general comment on all this...
The discussion has so far gone over multiple tens of thousands of posts, weve hit the thread limit multiple times on this topic and it looks like were about to hit it again.
Virtually every theory has been suggested, I'm not trying to suppress discussion but the thing is we are not short on theories, we have literally hundreds of them with new variations being added every day. =(
What we are short on is practical experiments that would help prove or disprove a theory, at this point we really need evidence or ways to prove things, not theories.
I'm not trying single people out but for example saying "my theory is that there could be a link to witchspace". Well great, but so what? People have said that over and over but it does progress things in any way.
Now a practical experiment we could perform that would help prove or disprove that theory is another thing entirely.

It is very cool! Love the Moby quote. One suggestion - you could add a sketch or small GIF of the evil-smile UA view that someone else just recently posted, which is also brilliant. (Or maybe Arc can add that to the first page or its OP to the wiki).
Oh, and the treasure map needs a link to the wiki too. ;-)

Love your work people.
Prefect is not a misspelling. It's a planetary governance position on Lave. There were four prefects, one for each region.
Oh no, yet another author is watching us! What could it mean? ;-)
Theory time.
First capital ship was built in Sol.
Probes have similar communication as the UA and have gone missing.
The capital ships never fly SC, so they never arrive at a nav beacon and then travel to the combat zones like we have to.
They just arrive at the location they want to. Aren't combat zones always near a celestial body?
If they are, then well, maybe that's how this thing travels. It can jump to any celestial body.
Maybe it can use nav beacon data to get the co-ordinates for the celestial.
After viewing several capital ship vids it does behave/display like the UA.
When they return to normal space it displays the same characteristics as an UA.
Same cloud, same particles, same distortion of space/time around it.
Now I hear also that the UA returns morse code for SOL but not the other celestial worlds or stations. Is this true?
Drew, in the first thread, gave cryptic clues, one of which I responded to and he responded back positively but we drew a blank ( haha no pun intended).
I thought at the time the clue pointed to Sol. I had good reasons to believe this.
I can't think of anything about the probes except maybe they act like some sort of beacon.
SS1 may have left our dimension and gone to visit the Thargoids who live in another dimension.
In some cruel twist, someone destroyed or hid the probes to prevent it returning but this is just a far out guess and conspiracy.
Basically what I'm trying to say is that the UA is an organic engine part for huge, powerful jump drives.
Currently only being used by capital ships, later, maybe (many seasons away), we get them for normal ships and w/e that brings.
So I think the answer is in Sol.
The 3 major factions are in an arms race to built all this new tech and get ahead of each other.
Something for me to ponder on.
I wouldn't have looked if someone yesterday didn't mention it but it got overlooked.
If you spend some time and read the last 100-300 pages, you'll realize I already suggested taking down a Capital class ship by taking out it's heat things, to force it to jump. If a UA is in the hold of a nearby player or out near the ship, it might trigger something (what I'm expecting optimistically is that a "wake" will be left there and it could be followed or something like that).
Another good non-destructive test would be lining up ships real close to it.
@Rizal, I was the one suggesting the "12" player, octagon shape formation made out of 8 people
Yes, I know it can be dangerous because some people are careless, but if we do not try these tests, then why in the name of majestic unicorns do we keep them?
My suggestion: Do the safe tests to either rule them out or finally get what we've been working for. The 8 people one IS safe as long as everyone is careful and coordinated. Use Teamspeak or such to make sure everyone can listen to the coordinator.
Edit: Some1 else also mentioned 12 because of the 12 pods on it, my bad.

Is there any way to see constellations in the Galaxy map? There seems to be a View filter, but even with it activated
I'm just wondering if the UA findings are confined within one or more constellations. 12 pods, Thargoids use base-12, 12 signs of the Zodiac, 12 constellations to search?
I've heard of one reference that Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio and Taurus correspond to the 4 beasts of the apocalypse, it'd be very cool if all the UAs were found in those 4. (It'd also be extremely unlikely! )

I love the way this is just running and running. Normally a thread like this would have died out weeks ago, but this one seems to have its own perpetual motion engine.

Turn on Constellations, then center the map to SOL. You will see all of them around you.
@Tallsword
Yes it were you and some other one about the 12 pods. And I like them both. But first we can try with four ships trying to reproduce cmdr Delmonte test.

"Another good non-destructive test"... are you suggesting that taking on a capital ship is a non-destructive test? You are optimistic
