Thanks for reporting it, the more locations we have the better, but they are quite easy to come by. Sell it if you like, or watch the pretty pop as it dies a horrible death
UA Mystery Thread 3: The Canonn

Unless people can replicate it I'm not considering it a valid piece of evidence. YMMV ofcourse.
The video is quite convincing and it's not the only account, I think there have been at least 3 different people report cases where UAs have not pointed at Merope. So it's evidence. The question is whether or not it's relevant evidence.
The problem with looking at it that way round is that a visually small angle can still mean a large discrepancy due to the distances involved. I made a quick mockup of the situation (screen shot below) and it looks like Merope and ADR GW-W d1-52 are the best part of 100 Ly away from the line between Sol and California Sector HW-W c1-7 (the axes in the screenshot are 100 Ly long). That said, I don't think there is any reason why the UAs need to be found exactly on the line. It seems pretty clear that the UAs are moving towards Sol, or at least toward the bubble:
1.2 Wings trailer: UA allegedly transported by a ship in California Sector HW-W c1-7
1.2: UAs found in convoys in the bubble, but none free-floating found there
1.3: UAs found free-floating in the Pleiades region
1.4: UAs found free-floating in the area around Aries Dark Region GW-W d1-52 and no longer found in the Pleiades region.

The space warping seems like a clue. This makes me think that the probe is possibly a multidimensional object. Or at least using much higher energy than the size would imply. It almost seems to implode into a higher dimension, which makes my previous tether/anchor hypothesis seem a little more likely. It could literally be the tip of a Thargoid iceberg.
What's this all about then? http://kotaku.com/months-later-elite-dangerous-players-make-major-disco-1736308597
After trying almost literally Everything Else, a player going by the name of Mike Juliett Kilo decided to feed a pre-recorded unknown artefact signal into an antique scanner item he had in his cargo. It spat out a vector image—specifically, one of the very ship he was flying.

Well, Orion would appear to be the main link having chased the 7 sisters, of which Merope was one before he was killed by a giant scorpion....if I remember right.
There are numerous versions of events though.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merope_(Pleiades)
for the basic stuff if anyone is wondering.
With regards to other things.
Maybe we should be asking why the UA's are taking detailed scans of current Human vessels. What would be the purpose of having such information?
Could it be to track ship / humanities movements?
Or might they need the details to pull ships into witchspace?
Just thoughts.
Perhaps the UA is evolving or waiting and playing a long game and will activate and become proactive, our interference is irrelevant to its mission. We are finding more of them as the time is getting closer, the ship scanning could be them becoming ready to attack human ships and weakes us before the invasion forces arrive.
Sweet you guys did good
I wonder if the Thargoid aren't the Giant Scorpions that chased Orion to protect the Pleiades?
I realize that this line is not perfectly straight, but it is a very logical route if you navigate visually. The extra distance you have to travel to go through these points are fairly short.
I did some vector extrapolations yesterday (it's easy as Sol is 0,0,0) to see if i could find a system in the 1330ly- 1340ly range on the Sol -Merope line. I did not find anything but space.
Then I followed the 'curve' through all the points (Sol - ADR - Merope - California Nebula) and ended up here:
Picture is taken with Merope (380ly) , dead center. California Nebula (about 1000ly) is visible between OOCHOST AE-O B53-O (1319ly) and the slightly dimmer Pleaiades Nebula.
It was the closest I could find and I like the name
The distance 1319ly means that OOCHOST AE-O B53-O will have had time to receive signals from Earth up to 1981-1982. In a 'space' perspective, that would mean up to and including the launch of the first space shuttle Colombia in 1981 (remember those local shuttles in the Galnet news?).
Still just dots that connect in my head, but a lot of 'hints' works with this theory.
What does that even mean ? I don't understand the process that's being described here at all.
He's scanning a UA with a detailed surface scanner ..... is that it ?

It means that the antique scanner is a fictional invention for Galnet.
I reality it was plotted just manually at first with the Morse code letter pairs used as X and Y coordinates like on Ardas picture.
Later a program was written to feed the letters in directly.

Only the 'antique scanner' is fictional. All the rest is real.
MJK used the Morse transcripts from Rizal72 and Fyo to plot the drawing in real life. The Galnet article was written after the discovery.
Online news media seem just as confused as you are.
Actually, considering history (which iirc was an important aspect of this) it's only if you are aligned with the Federation or Empire that you are *CENSORED*. History tells us that the Alliance actually helped the Thargoids by delivering the Mycoid virus antidote.
So in a sense, what you do with these UAs is actually going to determine how heavy the oncoming storm is going to be for you guys (Yes, I'm an Alliance man myself.) It's already going to be bad for the Feds because they are already shipping these things to research stations. Now the UAs have started scanning ships (a changed behavior) it's likely we've kicked the bees nest.
So I'd be slightly cagey about what you do with these wee beasties... Follow the trail. Be careful with what you wish for...
