He has already stated they are in nebulae, check Riz's first page MB quotes
Though one of his more recent replies suggests that they are only found in one other nebula.
This post is for the people that are headed out to a know Barnacle. I made a quick and dirty Overlay pic in Ms Paint to show the difference between the organic structures that drop materials for synthesis and the ones that drop Meta-Alloys
(The ones with the arrows pointing down, are the ones that drop Meta-Alloys. They have a large green pod attached to them, one of two of these pods is circled in red. all other organic structures drop materials for synthesis)

Just to put it out there, a favorite moment of mine regarding the first barnacle find.

Yet we draw Earth as our home, even though we can't see Earth whilst we are on it...

I actually share your frustration. Some of us suspected there were issues with crashes or barnacles not loading when they should or other bugs or technical issues. Asked about it several times, and got no response. I understand that complex software has bugs - I really do. I'm a programmer myself. It's just hard not to get frustrated by things like this.
TL;DR: Barnacles are a type of bio-mechanical beacon seeded onto planets habitable by an alien species.
Alright, so this is me coming in after getting in a little deep on a game about sentient goo, mixed with reading up on the past few tens of pages of this thread so I can mull over some things. Admittedly, I can only theorycraft based on what I read here and elsewhere as I myself don't have Horizons (yet).
I will assume that barnacles are indeed manufactured living organisms with similar structure to the crustaceans we find on Earth.
Has anyone extended the theory that the Barnacles are the result of 'seed-probes' sent out by an alien species to find worlds habitable for them? Barnacles appear to be standardized in appearance and functionality; they gather materials into one place so that they can be gathered for use by the aliens in construction (with the added side-effect of possibly using certain minerals as food).
The Barnacles are known to correlate with UAs and emit strange whalecall-like sounds, could this be a beacon signal by the barnacles, telling their masters that a habitable planet has been found? Further, when harvested through unintended means (breaking the stalks with weaponry), the barnacles emit stronger 'angry whale' sounds, possibly signalling to their masters that there is a possible hostile presence in the systems.
That's all I've got for now.

Pst, hey boys, I've heard you like THEORIES
Alright, considering the growth of the spikes, the size of the little green seeds and the fact that the biggest spike have meta alloys on them, I'm guessing that the small spikes mine materials and as they grow, they refine and assemble those materials to end up with meta-alloys.

the barbacles don't have shadows, nor do they reflect light
The 7 in 27 was an error, and the coordinates are LAT 20.86 ; LONG 91.73. Location of a crashed Anaconda, this particular puzzle has been solved very quickly.
Do these ''Barnacles'' emit any sound?
Ok last thought and/or crazy theory before hitting bed... If and I repeat if the symbol is linked to Barnard's Loop, what about bringing some UAs there? At the end they were pointing to Merope, maybe they will point somewhere else if they get close enough...
PROBLEM SOLVED:
Apparently I just had to KEEP qutting to desktop, reloading the game, going into solo, quit again, reload again, solo again, quit again again etc etc
I have finally got a Barnacle spawn in Solo. Thanks guys!

On the first page it is the one listed as Barnacle #1
I will bug report it though. Thank you
I now have the same issue as you. Barnacle there in open, not in Solo.
Did you lodge that ticket? If so, got a link?
Yup. Very similar to UAs.. will need to be analyzed. If you're in-game, come visit one! Add me to your wing.
My post is getting buried quickly - but I wouldn't head to the original find location -the blockade has moved over there. I lost an ASP when I switch from Solo to Open to see the barnacle.

I read that post as well, but like someone said below, one of his more recent ones sounded like it was only to be found in one not many
Just want to make sure my journey to barnards or orion wont be wasted because i'm only going for barney's

I don't know who to credit on here, but I did find this on the tube.
They sound pretty eerie.

Yes. Quite noticable if you're parked right next to the main barnacle thingy.
