Shhhh! No one is supposed to know.

Just a tinfoil driven thought - Murp disappears, ollobrains appears. Coincidence?

Legendary RP respect to Murp if he is ollobrains but Murp has a certain style that i just don't see in "ollosphere". Ollo' is more "vacuous".
Ok, so I promised you my crazy UA theory, here it is:
The each UA is the three dimensional extrusion of a much larger n-Dimensional object currently centred over Merope in a higher spacial dimension which we cannot observe.
To use an analogy: Imagine an insect standing on a piece of paper: any observer confined to the surface of the paper will only see the points where the legs intercept the paper, creating six separate oval-shaped objects pointing towards the insect's body, unless the insect moves its body onto the paper or it somehow squashed then the links between these ovals will only be apparent because they all line up and point at the non-interacting central body.
So these are what the UAs are, separate parts of a much larger creature or construct, probably sense organs of some kind. This explains how they line up to Merope with no apparent thrusters and why they appear free-floating in a shell around the star.
When we move these UAs we start to damage and stretch their original link to the larger construct, this causes them to be gradually pulled out of our dimension, which appears to us as gradual damage and degradation, eventually leading to them "popping" as observed.
The hull metal and frameshift drives of our ships are made from materials designed to withstand n-dimensional space (i.e.: Witchspace) which causes the UA to become stuck to them when in our cargo holds, this is why the UA does not degrade within our hulls. Instead it starts to pull the entire ship into n-dimensional space, which is a problem as the internal components of our ships are not designed to operate in an n-dimensional environment, only being able to withstand witchspace due to the three-dimensional bubble which they travel in. Thus our ships start to degrade when pulled into high spacial dimensions by the UA aboard leading to the "mysterious radiation damage" seen on when carrying a UA.
Whoever is buying UAs at station black markets has obviously found a way to store the UA without it degrading, possibly inside a modified frameshift drive housing or similar. As a result the stations the contained UAs have been smuggled into are slowly being pulled into n-dimensional space, causing the mysterious facility failures we have observed over the last few months at stations believed to be storing UAs.
As for what happened to Spaceflight One and the Highliner Antares, I reckon they suffers a mid-witchspace collision with one of these larger constructs and that caused their catastrophic breakup.

Yeah, I know, I was just joking. Murp is intelligent and classy when he is not obsessing about Reddit and The One True Way. That said, it sounds like it would be up the alley of that guy whose name I forget (Derthek will remember) who claimed to have solved the whole thing and trolled for about a month or so. Or TheSpaceTexan if he was really bored. ;-)

Out of rep, but I give you this: http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--XulYLvSy--/18ua6y48h7s2pjpg.jpg
UAs are just the barnacles.

Wait, Jaffa Cake? .. They are shaped like UFOs ... probing confirmed? Joke aside, they are round, but maybe another hint pointing at Thargoids? Maybe 3302 Thargoids are finally able to make round ships instead of that octagonal wannabe UFOs.

Round Thargoid ships. That would be those Imperial Thargoids. They have an Empress in their hive instead of a queen and slaves instead of workers. Their ships are rarely seen. Those few that have seen one describe them as extremely fast but unable to turn.

They don't need to turn, they spit from all ends.
Might want to check your quotes XD

A lot of us agree with this. We discussed almost the exact same thing in thread 3, i believe. Good to see more people agreeing with this. Now we just need a way to prove it

We just need a vic..volunteer to shoot off in to Witchspace!

We've done nothing more than agreeing, in the last few weeks... apart from biscuits, of course...
I will sacr... volunteer my friend who just joined E: D all he's got is a sidewinder

Wait... you're not suggesting the UA(s) are some part of an interstellar witchspace Cloverfield?
Dear God....
Seems a little quiet on the hard sciencing front, doesn't it? But don't feel bad. It's going around.
The canny boys and girls of the Tinfoil Berets' covert detachment have acquired this evidence of Professor Palin's unflinching pursuit of raw data...
Just a still from the footage they snagged, sure, but... trust me... it's just seven hours that look pretty much like that. I would also post a link to the audio they captured but it's just six hours of what sounds like sobbing. Except the bit when his missus phones and they argue about his career choices. Then he punches the wall and hurts his wrist. Then more sobbing. Then he tries to call a series of Federation bigwigs. Nobody answers. Then more sobbing.
Now, yeah, sure, it could all be an exotically cunning counter-intelligence set-up but until we reliably learn otherwise I'm happy to smirk and send his wife a nice hamper for Christmas.

Yes, I agree. What ever is in Merope is in some alternate dimension. Let's call that dimension "twopointnaught" and we are in the simple dimension of "onepointfour" perhaps the winter solstice will effect our fsd somehow, and when we jump into Merope around Christmas we will be able to do things we couldn't before!
