CMDR said he bumped it when he dropped in. Julian confirmed they weren't degrading. There's also a video. I'll try to dig up the link.

it is about the announcement to collect tourist destinations, nothing to worry about, for now..
I believe that whichever nebula or nebulae are on that symbol we should look for the point of observation. In the theory " the logo shows the 3 nebulae that means we must search in the middle" the logo gives us no information at all. We already know there are barnacles in the 3 nebulae, we can figure there might be something in the middle. Also if the barnacles originate from these 3 nebulae how do they "know" how the 3 nebulae look from afar? It makes much more sense if the "architect" of the barnacles painted a picture of the pace he sees from his home world. That is if he wants to be found. Has anyone pointed their galaxy map in such way that you can see the 3 nebulae form the logo? And if so is there something on the line formed? I will try this later today.
you got me thinking for a while..
Behold, the power of paint!!
COL 69 and COL 70 are actually outside of the triangle. Inside the triangle there is Mel Hind and Synuefai, COLs are on top of the triangle just hovering over witch-head nebula.
I'm confused now, but if you are willing to prove the theory you can easily work on it now, whatever is 'hidden' in permit locked systems is outside of the scoped triangle.

Oh yes, since the very first Barnacle was discovered, and the marking with it. But, you know, even finding a reasonable fit, there are so many stars out there...
Anyway yours were my same thinkings at those times unless "they" are depicting something like the UN logo or similar, where they put together all the places related or somehow meaningful to them.
I can give a hand in return, just ping.
Here's some tinfoil for ya: What if they nebulae aren't the origin of the barnacles, but the barnacles are the origin of the nebulae? The barnacles create the nebula by mining airless worlds and blowing off molecular exhaust. Get enough barnacles on enough worlds for enough time and blammo you've got a big ol' cloud.
(There are many reasons why this wouldn't actually work, but it's a fun idea)

Can you verify what rank the mission was and what the target was flying?
The other day I took a dangerous "religious assasination", target was in an Orca, and there was a Nav Beacon only at the site. I previously took a lower-ranked variant, target was in a T6 with some eagle escorts, nothing else present though.
I am making a guess that it's elite rank.
novice and competent: nav beacon also
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle!
I've already visited that system and scanned all the inner planets up to the Ammonia World!
I remember thinking at the time that planet 4 fits a lot of the previously seen characteristics for Barnacle planets. Well done on confirming Barnacles (subject to independent verification) on the planet.
The sheet that Chopper and I maintain is always behind the times since Frontier started changing the status of Barnacle locations at times. That said, the locations you quoted are all showing as Destroyed Spikes since they were last updated on 11-June.
If you come across a Barnacle location that is different to the sheet, please add a comment to the entry and we can edit it when we get the notification.
Using a bit of trig, I got the centroid for the triangle to be [-11.59 : -255.15 : -659.29]. That's based on the centre location of each nebula and not necessarily any particular system.
The main object that jumps out in the middle of the triangle is Hind's Nebula around T Tauri. I know that a number of pilots checked it out a few days ago, but without finding much.
Random tin foil speculation.
The symbol is Witch Head, California, and Barnard's Loop.
The origin is ...
wait for it ...
Merope!!!
The UAs aren't pointing at Merope because of the barnacles, but because there's still something else there related to their creators that we haven't discovered.
We only found barnies in the Plieades at first because they weren't in Witch Head or California yet - they are spreading.
The symbol isn't where Barnies are found, just a stylized representation of clearly visible nebulae from the Plieades.

Tis a good find that one.
So if we extrapolate assumed jump distances of the UA's
130ly - 150ly from Merope was the first possible jump
260ly - 300ly for the 2nd
390ly - 450ly for the 3rd so Tauerni at 431ly from Merope is right in the area if they were a jumping out from the shell.
So is this the start of the invasion?

Religious nuts have cargo scoops too - they could have brought the UA there.
yes but the one in the video does not degrade that only happens when you drop one on a planet, or it's never been scooped up.
Though saying that did they used to degrade when lost from a NPC ship because of cargo hatch damage?
Do NPC scoops behave like ours?
No need, it just seemed worthwhile pointing out as it wasn't mentioned already and I'd noticed the damage on the screenshot.
