We can only assume so, as the first CMDR encounter was also a Fuel Rat encounter, apparently. It was a Distress Call, and it was a DBX, S8:7 or S7:8, and it was out of fuel. After it was fueled, it zoomed off.
Idk if anyone else has been actively searching for these ships, but once I return to the Bubble Im going to outfit with fuel limpet, cargo scanner, wake scanner, the works to study these things.
Doesnt seem like a superlight DBX build would have a very high top speed either. So, conventional thruster tech doesnt apply here.

A 3D plot of the Barnacle coordinates on the planet JC-U B3-2 2:

EDITED: Accidentally used degrees instead of radians... >.< check the link for the more correct and considerably less exciting graph
Still needs work, hoping to add the following:
- A 3d sphere to map the points onto.
- A line showing Spin Axis
- Mousing over should actually reveal lat and long and not cartesian coordinates.

It's a reasonable initial assumption; however someone suggested the distress call could be a way of assessing our behaviour, so it may have been pretending to be out of fuel & have no scoop, so estimates based on that assumption should be treated with caution. We really need to get one cargo scanned & its subsystems checked, & a wake scan would be good.
From my cursory reading into the rogue, unidentified DBX ships, the sound similar to the way thargoid ships flew in games past - at least in regard to their high-speed abilities.
We know the UA's scanned OUR ships for some unknown purpose, and produced drawings of them, identifying crucial modules.
I propose, if it has not been already, a connection here.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! It looks like theyre placed along a very specific path! That could be because those are the only ones we've found, but that line looks like it could trace an orbiting object of some sort. Such as the planets rotational speed, and orbital speed, cause those points to be pointing at the same spot at any one time, relative to time positioning of the planet. It seems to form an S shape. I believe the long S line could match the relatively quick rotational period of B3-2 P2, and the more random placed ones around it correspond to its longer orbital period. 16 hours and 18 hours, respectively.

TINFOIL ALERT
Stuff some old guy in a bar was telling me about the S6:7 ship
S6:7 Sept6 of 7
Seven Sided (Heptagon) sometimes known as a Septagon...
Sept - A group or tribe... deriving from a common ancestor Descendants of generation ship ?
Sept 6, 3114 - Julian Calendar date for start of Mayan Long Count ...
July .. seventh month ... named for Julius Caesar ... who instituted the Julian Calendar ....
Use of the Julian Calendar continued longest within Orthodox Catholic Churches ...
Kukulkan was the Snake God (Diamondback) favored by the Itza Peoples (Mayans in Guatemala)
So we are looking for a group of descendants of a generation ship who were probably followers of a syncretic Mayan / Orthodox Christian religion from Guatemala
hmmm ... sounded better when he said it

Is the data trying to form the shape of the Barnacle logo ? I see an upside down 3 ... or an E though.
Hello commanders,
I'm working on a site to provide visual representation to the collected UA and barnacle encounters.

I'd love to hear your feedback. Please leave it in this thread.

P.S. I'd appreciate any help to figure out how to convert the local latitude and longitude data of barnacles to the global coordinate system.

I'm wordless...
both of your works are going straight to the FrontPage NOW!
Agreed and both of you repped.
I still think too that a "It went faster than what any other vessel could possibly go when it flew off." is a bit too anecdotal and there could be many reasons for this from boosting straight out, maybe launching straight into Hyperspace by charging FSD and letting it get to 100% and throttling up, to possible confirmation bias (ie. "Something strange happened with a DBX? Hey wait, I saw a DBX earlier. Was there anything wierd about it?").
Also, There was no screenshot evidence, 2nd hand viewers or any repeat sightings from anywhere else in the galaxy. I know if I saw a DBW sitting in a distress call "alive" and not saying or doing anything, the first thing I wouldn't do is to just hook up and start sending gas.
Lastly, we didn't get a system name, approximate location, nothing.. if it was something that signifigant other than trolling I would think we would have something more to go on.
I just know that IRL, if one witness saw something and couldnt give any details about where they were, what they saw or anything else, the statement might be taken but it would get shuffled to the back until more evidence presented itself. Essentially the only thing "linking" this to the OO event is he said he saw a ship that was S 8:9 (not even in a correct sequence if it is one. Saying S 1:7 or S 2:7 etc would be more believeable) and saying it was really fast, which is a very subjective term.
I just imagine the guys at FD reading this and saying to themselves.. "Grrrr.. we never sent any other DBX's besides the one at Obsidian now everyone is side tracking our story we've been setting up for months to follow the wrong breadcrumbs from someone trolling the forums.. >.<"
There is a line that starts from the north pole and heads south, then takes a turn south next to 4 very closely spaced ones. Two are right on top of each other.
Also, in the UA Shell Repo, what does "negative encounter" mean..?

Nice! It's a good day for visualisations ^^
I'm very glad you've done this, I wanted to do something like it but had no idea how.
I wanted to see if Planets containing barnacles formed a circular 2D area. A circle intersection of the UA shell.
Or perhaps they form a line along the "eclipse line" of the Pleiades Nebula.
Is it possible to have systems within the shell mapped?
I think you're assuming a lot. In the two incidents the DBXs had different designations so it's more likely they were different ships than the same ship. It was posted earlier that the DBX in Alioth did not request fuel as npcs usually do in distress calls but the Commander was a Fuel Rat so he gave it some anyway. Nothing in the two incidents suggests it was the same ship and didn't have a fuel scoop fitted.
I feel the need to chime in here...
I remember, back when we first found UA, that AluminumAlloy had posted a hoax image and though we called him out for errors in the image, he denied the image was fake. Now he's the only witness to a conveniently timed DBx flying abnormally fast? He may be a fellow Canadian, but I wouldn't trust him at all. Righto, back to lurking.
Good luck out there.
edit: I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I'm simply providing background information on the source, that relates to the subject of UA. Ultimately it's up to the reader to decide what to believe.

I didn't believe it anyway. However...
