Cool beans EAGLE 5 is the commander name send me a friend request.
Looks like on 1791/1909 and 1316 is a repeating pattern, followed by two on 1434/1553 (what ever that unit this refers to?) One at 1553/1672 every 4-5 'dots' on 1791/1909.
But what does it tell us?
Unfortunately, I know all about them as I was one of those who had to squint through a plastic red lens to play the game in 1984. Even though we may have heard of them, this galaxy seems to have never heard of them, or what went before. I think a new history may be being written. Not that it's a bad thing, if that's the way they want to go.
I like what Drew did with his write-up, but I didn't know about that site you just put up. Good reading for later!
Men in black don't exist BTW. Well, the guy in dark suit behind me said to say that. He just said I shouldn't have said that either
They exist. They have been mentioned once in GalNet. In the article about Soontil relics.
It confirms contact 50 years ago, so the FFE lore stands strong.
The original Elite manual and The Dark Wheel are not to be taken literally according to MB.
I see them more as mythology

Thank you. Yes, that was the one that refers to them as a legend.
Okey dokey, I just find it odd that Palin doesn't even factor in the possibility of them.
Obviously just being totally objective, from a scientific standpoint!
I still have my copy of The Dark Wheel, even though not "legit" anymore, it's still a good read.

We've gone down the form route too, We can use existing data from the sheet to allow more efficient comparison
Submit via this form:

Coordinates are then reviewed
Planet locations are then posted in a comparison sheet.
Eventually coordinates will be placed onto a 3D Sphere so we can make a Heatmap.

I'm at your site right now in open - probably my dodgy inet precludes me from seeing you and no barnacle here atm - I'll stay a while and scout in case it comes to light again.
Hello EAGLE 5, congrats on being among the first to find more barnacles! Excuse the noobishness of my questions but; where do you look to find what coordinates you are at in your SRV?
And how do you use coordinates to land your ship in the exact same spot on a planet? - as far as I know a ship doesn't show coordinates while in orbit around a planet.
Omategomatete is there now but I couldn't instance with him.. re-logged to see him and the barnacle and both are not here. Definitely instancing but I'd definitely file this one under permanent site.
Also I confirm the observation that the particle effect is focused on meta alloys once those are removed it's gone and all is left is the smoky mist from the barnacle itself.
I believe this is significant.

Look at your HUD in the SRV or your Ship its' to the right. Long Lat and Planet gravity is displayed there.
No idea but it's looking right at us.
I see a freaky face staring right out of it.

I fail to see why someone wants to kill explorers on the ground.
The thing is for me that the game crashed in open so I went to the site in solo, I got to the location and nothing was there so switched to open in my buggy and called my ship and then it got shot at and I died. I have only died 18 times, I made the mistake of going back to the ship when I should have sent it away, I don't see why you can not log out for 15 seconds if you are in your buggy and the player is shooting at your ship who makes these rules up the forum or Frontier?
Anyhow lesson learnt
I have now travelled back to the orbital and looking for payback.

Ish.
I have a hypothesis that the recently found crashed anaconda (with barnacles nearby) may have stolen and experimented with alien organic tech. This also explains the use of morse in UA!
They then hoped to "grow" ships. It has already been mentioned the barnacle strongly resembles a thargon. The logo, which could also be seen as a ship decal, may be hardcoded into the design of the whole ship and they couldn't change it. Either way, they crashed, possibly with barnacle seeds on board, as they are growing nearby now.
The Pleiades looks like it may be a huge shipyard. The UA are perimeter markers and watchdogs/alarms (it's easier to hook onto the light from a star than a planet, as a central anchor point).
The anaconda was either responsible for it, after crashing and it got out and self started, or they were trying to steal from it and failed.
We have been destroying the shipyard and I would assume the UA have already informed whoever owns it. Human, or otherwise. Not a good idea!
TLDR... the Pleiades is a shipyard, the UA are the alarm/security system, using the same tech. It is either owned by humans (who stole it), or aliens, who they tried to steal from.
It's a theory, so...thoughts?

Results may vary, however I saw it on McIntosh Port, in Ryujin. I didn't take it because I didn't know what metta-alloys were at the time (had no idea about the barnacle nonsense till couple days after. Was trading about earning up for a new ship) But I jotted notes for later reference. After the fact, now i'm back in 'town' cruising about again, with 4 tons of metta-alloy in me hold, hoping I trip over the mission again but no joy sofar. Even went back to McIntosh and checked the surrounding surface ports, but no luck.
Cheers,
Ahhh, I see the light!
*Obligatory facepalm moment*

Thank you kindly for saving this Martian Successor from his own ignorance
Good luck out there.
Eagle 5, while your at Pleione 11 A, can you check mine from earlier this afternoon ? 0.8185 ; 176.5622

When found, I checked solo/open/private/relog and it was spawning correctly but Yoda711 can't see it.

Well this is a first for me, just a hole where the anaconda should be lol
Barney is there though, this is on mobius

On My way...
Then these ships grow real slow. And where are the completed ships? I can't imagine these barnacles are shipyards.
It seems these barnacles are spawning within close proximity with eachother
