Ten minutes later.

"Hey John, didn't the stations start glitching when we brought mysterious stuff there?"

Seriously, we're the worst species ever. :p

True, but in any case we should also consider that this could be some alien intelligence that sent it's satellites/parasites to search for new planets to be colonized. They attracted our attention and now they are using us to spread them around the galaxy. Like an anorganic life form using the Tribble effect somehow...

Hell, man, yeah, that would be a conspiracy ;)

After trying to read the vast majority of this thread I've go my own theories.

The barnacles sound like ships only deeper in tone.
The sounds they give off are like they are very large structures with something in them, moving, living.
The harmonics may need more analysis as the sounds resemble whale calls.
One pilot mentioned that shooting the spikes sounded like the barnacle was screaming.
The fact the area the barnacles have been found in is sandy means the area is soft, easy to move, grow in and get out of when finished growing.

Something tells me this is a large living organism that is growing in the planet using the high metal content. Hence the metal alloy.
The damage to ships and SRVs suggests its feeding on the metal, possibly something to do with the sparkles that are being seen.
Possibly the same thing that is growing the structures.
Also what are the crystal structures seen on the spikes. Different type of seed perhaps.

This is first contact with a possible Alien species that is seeding/colonising this area of space and the barnacles are the result of the UA making landfall.
There may be a full size one in the bubble of the UAs hiding from us.

I would recommend against shooting them as this is more than likely hurting them and possibly leading us into war.
Remember Frontier said our actions with first contact decides how our relationship with the Aliens will progress, peace or war.

This could also be,
A search for life project by an alien race. The symbol does look distinctly like Barnards Loop Nebula. Orion's belt is part of this.
A space creature that is growing and preparing to hatch.
A possible beach head for invasion. Grow your own base.

I'd recommend close monitoring to see what is developing, but be prepared for a quick response.

I bet everyone who sold tons of those things to all sorts of stations for the last few months are feeling pretty silly right now.

LOL Nice one! :D

I'll just add this into the conspiracy logo soup too...

If you take an illustration of a barnacle's plates and superimpose it over the Barnacle logo, you get this :-

Notice, if you will, all you conspiracy fanatics, that one of the barnacle's inner plates is named 'Scutum' and one of the outer plates is called 'Carina'. Just sayin... ;)

Ok, do the shaded or non-shaded areas represent their empire in the Galaxy?

They could have just send us a package of alien seeds and include a letter from a Nigerian Prince. It'd be all over the Bubble in a day. :D

The person that quoted me knows that I was specifically referring to the Find in merope. They still suggest the UA has nothing to do with the barnacle when it does seem pretty obvious that the UA points to merope, then we find a persistent poi in merope, and now the similarities in sound.

We have two barnacle regions. One was found by luck, the other was hinted on GalNet.

No, that followed after we found it...

Assuming it wasn't approved/added beforehand, it takes time to be added to the system and not even the FD guys can keep up with this thread. :)

But if it was deliberately added afterwards, that's interesting. If people have found other barnacles by following that hint, why would they advertise a barnacle after "we" have just found one? A trail of breadcrumbs? Anything interesting if you continue the line between the two?

So here is a theory, lost ship with jump drive tech found, possibility of new jumpdrives coming, maybe they jump further than is possible now.
Barnacles and meta-alloys found, maybe repair stations, maybe allow for some new jumpdrives to be made.
2.1 update coming soon, mechanics included that can be used for new upgrades, could this include the new drives.
MB quoted a nebulae is origin of barnacles..
So are the devs stringing this story out, and is the nebulae in a currently impossible to reach area wthout the new drives that may come in 2.1 update.
Are there any nebulaes that we can't reach yet.
Is all the recent happenings building up to the 2.1 launch.
