I'm not buying Thargoids either.
Too convenient.
Too convenient.

Also, if the probes are Thargoid and they intend to attack, why use morse? Why use a form of communication that we can recognise and decipher? "Hey guys, let's broadcast in a weird language that is not our own, but that our enemy can understand".
And if they were trying to deceive us into thinking they are friendly you'd think the message would be a lot clearer, like the morse equivalent of "We come in peace", to mislead us into letting our guard down.
They may be of Thargoid origin, and they may want to attack, but there are still a lot of holes in the "Thargoid invasion" theory.
Not to be pedantic or anything, but that's transmitting. The reasonable question "how far" (followed by "where") is unanswered.
But how convenient was Morse code from an alien race that we as Humans just so happen to be able to transmit.
From my limited knowledge of the elite universe thargoids are the only alien race to have encountered humans ever in our history. It fits perfectly.Albeit a bit too perfectly

After what they did to my ma and pa in '84, it's clobberin' time!
LoL! Nice.
I for one hope my Battle Python will be ready in time. I have it sitting in a hanger until its ready. Every now and then when my credits have reached certain goals, I go back to the "garage" and throw some parts in her. I refuse to go out hunting, or any other activity in it until I have it maxed out with the best. So far all I have done is move it to other stations for parts, and test the weapons systems alone in open space... should be ready for war by the end of December.
I've seen this twice in a system far from Merope as well. Twice on opening the system map, but not every time. This was in HIP 6040... it's the only system with an actual catalogued number rather than proceduarally generated number that I have first discovery on in live... and it't not that far under the bubble. I keep meaining to put in a bug report.

I agree completely.
That they use morse may support the theory that they are Thargoids, or at least it not contradict it. But it doesn't really help the theory that they are hostile and spying on us.
After all, if we wanted to send spy probes into Thargoid space and have them transmit information back to us, Thargoid probably wouldn't be our language of choice to transmit that information.
Right... good thing I don't have any to sell then...
It's not yet confirmed whether these are Thargoids or not. As has been pointed out to me in times before, this tech is too organic to be Thargoid. So no... Not convinced it is.
They are out there somewhere, and they may even be watching... but they know how sneaky we can be and don't want to risk us developing another virus for their hyperdrive...

Yes, given that they already know who we are, where we are and what we've got, why would they go to all this trouble? Unless there's something nefarious about the UA's.
Here is a little alternative theory, based on old and recent events and articles.
Someone is lost in space. More precisely on and airless planet. They don't know where they are and they are low on resources.
Their only reference point is that they can see the Pleiades for where they are.
All hope seem lost until they discover that there are creatures living on this planet. These creatures are capable of living in vacuum and produce energy form either minerals in the ground, radiation or both. There are plenty of these creatures.
Having access to an energy source capable of operating in vacuum and high radiation, these crafty settlers starts 'upgrading' the creatures with technology that they have. Bits and pieces from ships and probes they have with them. They may even be capable of manufacturing.
These semi-organic creations are sent out in space. Programmed to go to the Pleiades and then spread out in all directions. The hope is that someone will find them understand what is going on.

See Galnet article RE: The Missing.
Could this actually be related to settlers of many centuries prior, maybe interbreeding/assimilating with an alien race or as above.

For game-play reasons so that players can decipher it. The same kind of reasoning that enabled Jeff Goldblum to infect an alien space-ship from his Apple-Mac over an apparently compatible Wi-Fi Connection (Hotspot: EARTHSUCKSLOL).
I believe that hotspot was named: FATLADY
Oh my god! Purge the unclean! That just does not bear thinking about! Some disgusting social experiment gone wrong(unless they are Green Orion Slaves) Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
Exterminatus! (sorry slipped into W40K a bit there, will try not to in future....)
Honestly? This has been my thought as well. Morse indicates old human, and the weird chittering is bugish like a thargoid. Them you have that galnet way back that stated something like "if you took relics from Italy and relics from Argentina you'd think that two different species created them when in fact they're both human"
Bonus points if anyone can source the article as I'm lazy
And too expensive - best to wait until they are on offer at a greatly reduced price
