It's been some exhausting but astonishing day! I get on that stream by random, and then : WOOOOOA HOW DID HE DARE?! That's my bronacles!

Ho could i be efficient at work after that? serioulsy? come earlier, get to that cmdr octo and then all the ships, bronacle 1... Nothing, damn instance, then i found another bronacles and we became bro for life. Then the galnet diffuse the message and my wing follow me looking for binary planets, what a trip!

Finally we ending up on JCU B3-2 wher a cmdr that I, really sorry, don't quiet remember the name (Joe heath?) asked us to be witness and confirm it, what we did. Oh what a day...

And that's without the symbols, analyse etc. But at least, to night i'll have some rest, this stage of the mistery is set and the next is to come...

But i'm a little disapointing about the bronacles, even if we're bro, cause i would have live them more... i don't know... bigger? impressive? more like the trailer? Maybe more lights, yeah definitively, more lights.

Good night commanders, you've earn it!

Alright, so the barnacle have what may be a stylized image of Bernard's Loop. I'm wondering if the barnacle layout may also be symbolic, like in the shape of a constellation in Bernard's loop?
Are they at all consistent in their layouts?

So for those still asking... firing at the large "Organic structure" yields common and less common materials (which can be found by firing at normal rocks), while the larger ones produce the "mining fragment" which, when scooped, gives the meta alloy. The meta alloy icon in ship materials is a microchip / circuit. The UAs make an array of sounds - just like a UA, give off a glow etc. just like UAs. The one described at these coordinates on the first planet in Pleiades Sector JC-U B3-2 is fixed. I don't fully understand what the disadvantages might be for simply coming back repeatedly to fire at barnacles and collect the two metal alloys for a profit of >160,000 credits? There must be a disadvantage which we have not seen in-game (aside from time).
I've been sitting here a while and the barnacle gives off a louder (for lack of a better term "moan") where the SRV scanner also reacts by getting louder (kind of a "something is coming from the deep"). It's been theorized that since teh smaller barnacles give off metals, that they are synthesizing them into meta alloys (perhaps for use by Thargoids?) Much like we use algae. Looking forward to the theories, but not reading through the 50 pages which I'm sure will pop up overnight ;)

Once again.. for those of you asking what happens if... it's really close to the bubble and in a fixed location, go and visit! http://imgur.com/a/shKqB
It's fun and refreshing to see something other than a crash, tea factory etc.

Not sure if this is a glitch or if it's already been found or even if it's relevant but I noticed a different noise after targeting a system in another nebula. I first discovered it after targeting a star in Barnards loop but was unable to replicate it. I made a short video after hearing it again after targeting a system in flame nebula. The sound is like a hissing (radio static?) and a kind of popping/cracking sound like you hear when canopy starts to freeze over.

Here's one. If anyone has other overheads to compare...

Found 2 on Pleiades Sector JC-U B3-2 1. Seemed like random spawns. First one was at -9.3772, -13.0666. And the second was visible from there. Canyons with red tint in them when viewed from orbital cruise.

Found 5 separate spawns on Pleiades Sector JC-U B3-2 2 in a crater. Maybe a couple hundred meters away from each other. Here's the coordinates:
Spawn 1 = 49.9888 x 101.5062
Spawn 2 = 49.7372 x 102.1423
Spawn 3 = 49.5346 x 102.0719
Spawn 4 = 49.9100 x 102.7269
Spawn 5 = 49.0645 x 102.9341
Don't know if they're static but interesting to find so many
