Quick, send pizza to soften them up!
Are the Galactic Sectors numbered:-e.g. Sector 6 area 7???
Congratulations Cmdr! Now "Fehler's Method" needs to be tested against all the barnacle sites found to date. Is anyone interested in provinf this method? I'm involved in the SS1 CG.
I've tried replicating the results with the Merope 5C barnacle, without luck. It is in the middle of the night local Barney Time on Merope 5C, so that could be an issue.
I'm now at Pleione trying to find Barnacles "blind" using Fehler's Method. First result was a bit of a Fehler, though. Took me straight to a small wreck with some standard salvage.
Going to keep at it. The most intelligent approach would probably have been to go to JC-U B3-2 2 and see if I can replicate the results there before moving on.
Found the one on JCU B3-2 - as described, including the green sand from orbit view.
On the given coordinates and in Solo play.

I started spotting the barnacles within the green patches by concentrating on the "night" side of the planet, where the green patches were much easier to detect.
Usually, I begin circling in the center of the green area with my DBE (altitude between 100 and 500m), while concentrating on canyons, walls and holes. When this search does not yield any results, I check the border of the green area. Sometimes the barnacle is not in the green area itself but close-by, possibly behind a wall/mountain or on the other side of a canyon.

to me it looks like a geological phenomena
Just so I understand... you're getting these initial green locations from an orbital altitude of several hundred km, right? (600km+ from your screenshots).
I'm not seeing it, but getting too tired. Will look again tomorrow under different lighting conditions.
Well here's the mystery number 2 in horizons : a ship , designation S7:6 , scanning obsidian orbital and disappearing fast before they can realize what happened , now I don't know about you but ughhhh :
obsidian orbital gets the plague , barnacles get discovered , meta alloys are delivered to obs , they somehow use it to heal the station , plain studies them in more depth , relapses that the UA use elements and metal to self repair and cause the damage to staion and ships , and finally a mysterious ship ( S7:6 ) scans the healed staion that is not malfunctioning !
Do you see the connection ?! I see it
there is defenently someone watching us and I can bet that were not alone with these UAs and barnacles
we might have seen the first alien hologram scout ship that was actually investigating the sudden cure of the obs !

Did someone sell a UA to Galnet? They seem to be having technical issues 
To coin the term permanently, and scientifically: "Fehler's Method"
Congrats to CMDR Fehler. Great find.
To ensure it is valid after the next patch i vote for "Fehlermethode"
SCNR
Galnet goes down ... Obsidian Orbital visited by S 7:6 ... I sense a disturbance in the Force.
What if they were not looking for someone or something, but instead checked if we have really cured that station? What if it is not cured, but enhanced now? Like...a marker or warpgate?
No, I'm getting bright green pixels intermittently up to about 8.5km.

UAs scan our ships, they "eat" them, "eat" our stations, and generally behave inappropriately.
Why?
UAs are turning into our ships. It makes perfect sense.

UAs are constantly "eating" our ships, not because they are damaged and need repairs, but because they are literally eating our ships to become them. But of course, if they will just eat our ships, it won't work (the ship will simply fall apart).
Another way to transform into ships - is to eat stations (what UAs are doing now). Stations are big, contain a lot of metals and electronics - a perfect snack for growing UA.
A single UA will not cause great harm to the station, but if there will be hundreds of UAs, stations will have problems.
And bringing meta-alloys (cereals for UA) to damaged stations solves the consequences, but not the cause of them.
So UAs will eat either our station or meta-alloys. What exactly they will eat - it's up to us.
In either way, we will have hundreds, if not thousands, UA-ships flying in human space undetected (are you sure you saw a pilot in that ASP?).
But if the UA-ships leave damaged stations, why no one noticed this?
I am sure that the DBX "S6: 7" is not a human ship, because no human need to scan a station. (And secret organizations are called "Secret Organizations" because they operate secretly. So it's not the Dark Wheel or someone else.)
But why would UA scan a station? They need to create their own station? They are looking for someone?
Time will tell...
Ps. I hope this mess makes sense.
Pps. We're all doomed...

Control tower of any damaged station:
"-Tom, a third DBX leaves dock number 5. Is that normal?
-Yes, it is quite normal. My computer says that "Pink Fluffy Unicorn" left the dock number 23..."

Dr Arcanonn shares some of your thoughts and hopefully will be on record soon saying as much... If the Galnet gods do their magic again...
Well, this theory is very nice from a story writing perspective but with one extremely subtle issue. It's nothing glaring or anything so only the most observant reader would have noticed.
If the UAs were transforming into ships inside the station holds, wherever they are stored, wouldn't it be a little hard for them to go out to the landing bay and launch without anyone going 'OH MY GOD! JESUS AND THE OTHER 2098357881 GALACTIC DEITIES! What on Planet Lave! Bloody hell. What's that PYTHON doing in there weapons storage smashing everything into walls? Holy Crap! There is a Cobra in the CORRIDOR!' while screaming, crying uncontrollably and running in circles with their arms in the air?
What I think is, the UAs may be turning into ships but they also have the ability to teleport and do it outside. If this is the correct assumption, we may start seeing news in GalNet speaking of UAs mysteriously disappearing from stations.
