UA Mystery Thread 3: The Canonn

Yeah I was hoping the same thing, a sort of hot/cold indicator, but after asking a similar question bitstorm pointed me to a later recording in HR 1185 that had the usual 5-6 purr cycles again (bitstorm's response here).
If the purrs can be found to change in some way that's repeatable, then maybe we'd have a more definite direction to go in. More tests needed I guess.
I think is kind of obvious now to me.
There is only 2 solutions to this matter of UA.
We have to sell it so much as possible or we have to destroy so much as possible.
If this thing related to the Thargoids in game then selling or destroying will probably lead us to the matter what Braben mentioned before about them.
The will interact with us so as the first contact will appear .

So talking to a friend tonight.
I was telling him about the UA and a few things behind it , when he brought up Iain M Banks book Excession.

I'd read the Outside Context Problem

Has anyone tried this before?
It looks like FD has hit the UA hard with the crazy hammer.
The UA is dolphin/fish. It's (realy) ancient Egyptian and it's from Sirius B.
The UA is a Nommo: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nommo

These are the two most sober pages i found

The start and end of the songs are best. Lots more on YouTube.
Pure madnes, but Sirus B.

The latest we have are some answers from the live stream at Gamescom. I linked to the video with times here:Thanks Cmndr, what & how do we know that there is something still to be found? Is this all based off DB's comments from before? Or has there recently been additional confirmation?
Links appreciated.
My apologies if the answers to my question are easily found. I'm willing to read up and become involved again, but only if there really is something IN GAME.

Basically they said it's not a red herring.
Well bum my face that's my last idea blown out of the water (by a canonn). I think I'm going to have to come back to populated space and grab one of these things.
Does anyone feel creative enough to design a CANONN-Artefact-Hunter Paintjob for the competition?
More and more, I'm coming to the same conclusion.
In almost every way they behave as normal canisters do - they degrade only after being in a cargo hold, they're about the same size, they have the same toxic cloud thing going on, and they have a (high) market value.
Just had a speed read through 'The Dark Wheel' (http://www.abandonia.com/files/extras/29369_the Dark Wheel.pdf) for clues. There's a part where the main character discovers the cargo he thinks he's carrying (a turtle like creature called a Mymurth) is actually host to tharglets, which are living inside them as parasites. This in effect increases the value of the cargo as the Navy pay highly for tharglets - they can be trained and used as pilots.
So maybe we are just supposed to sell them.
Buuuuut, there's definitely a puzzle to be solved, even if all we do with them is sell them. We're supposed to put 2 and 2 together somehow. And we're told there's more to come.
The ONLY way in which these do not behave as normal canisters is they make pretty noises, amongst which is the morse code for the nearest celestial or large-mass body. And we were more or less told to listen to them by MB.
And we're told we are overthinking it, not seeing the wood for the trees. So although I love this kind of thinking:

I don't think it's gonna be that clever.

Oh yeah, and there's this little similarity in shape

If we assume that this is something form Thargoids, then it's related to insects in some way. If we assume that the head of UA looks like scarab pupae (in short if UA is some kind of scarab) -then here is some scientifical data (page 10(108)) on sound communication frequencies for various insect orders. From what I can gather scarabs communicate at 1500-2000Hz, so if this living UA generate its message in that range, then we don't need to speed it up or slow it down - it's in our best hearing spot as it is. Although this article says that the bigger the insect the lower it communication frequency would be, so it could be that we need to speed it up a few thousand times to hear it
I was thinking about entering the competition but it kinda hard to come up something related to the UA when we are limited to three colours.
More staring at a blackhole for me tonight.

I'm bad with graphic software, so it won't be me. But it could include the basic shape of the UA - and/or the colours of the pulses - maybe the octagonal thargoid shape (even though we are not sure it's thargoid related)
Who me?!
Figured it out yet?
It's not a red herring, it's black, and I know exactly where to stick it.
@Derthek: How the blazes can you have so much rep to spread? I always get the "You need to spread..."

Filtering out only those frequencies (I just did it) doesn't seem to do anything except make the track quieter. I just happened to be messing around with frequency filtering when I saw your post.
Probably been done, but have people tried slowing down the sound,

Are we even close to figuring it out? Are we even looking in the right direction?

See http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Unknown_Artefact#Timeline_of_events
Not yet updated with the Gamescom latest, when we were told by the producer of Horizons that it is not a Red Herring and that there is something in-game remaining to be found, and more coming with Horizons. It's on the ED Twitch stream, I believe someone linked to it sometime ago, can't be bothered to try and find it honestly. Maybe Kerrash can do that, he seems to have a lot of free time. ;-)
