Has anyone honked the UP with the HUD off (Ctrl+alt+g)?
As there's a surge, perhaps something will appear on the HUD similar to the picture in the audio.

Another theory, with pictures and should be fairly easy to position in space:
The above shows the UP clue superimposed over the entire Merope system. I centered the grid on Merope 5, and pointed the line in the bottom right quadrant to line up with the system star. Then I scaled the view down:
I scaled the clue so that the circle matches Merope 5's rings and the top left arc happens to line up with the orbit of the first planet/moon. Coincidence?
So, assuming the symbols in the corners are binary, and they are defining a series of steps, then I have
1) aligned the two stars as step 1.
2) scaled the clue to match a celestial feature, and the top right arc becomes concentric with the first orbit as step 2
then:
3) Look at the 2nd orbit? for step 3.
4) On this side? Which coincides with the intersection of the orbit lines of the Merope 5 star and planet/moon 2. ... step 4
Should be easy to go there and wait for a USS or something?
If no one else does, I will fly to Merope again, and science this myself, next time I get to log on.

So, I've been looking at the spectrograph waiting for my eyes to start bleeding and I had the following thought... To me, there appear to be three distinct sections.
Section 1 *COULD* be interpreted as a stylized ship above a rectangle with the rectangle sending out a series of arcs or waves in front of it interspersed with squares. What if this section was like "Step one, a UA sends out morse code when a ship approaches it"
Section 2 has four dot/dash symbols around the immensely popular sphere with interesting geometry. On the top-right of the sphere are two nested arcs which look like the symbol for WI-FI. What if that symbol means "Scan a UP with your ADS and it sends you coordinates." To what and where are still a mystery.
Section 3 has a repeat of the WI-FI looking symbol being pointed at another curve which resembles an orbit line seen from close enough to distort it. Could this mean that whatever the coordinates point to needs to be honked when we find it? Or could it mean the UP needs be orbiting a specific planet/sun/body when honked to unlock whatever it is we're unlocking.
Also, out of curiosity, is there a maximum range from a honking ship that the UP activates? The ADS has an unlimited range, but I'm assuming that if you honk 250K LS away from it that it doesn't activate.

Going off the information of peculiarity of the Merope system setup and the UP image...
The Symbols are a count of the things in each quadrant of the image:
-Lower Right: --| it has one of these
-Top Right: -|| it has two of these
-Top Left: -|- it has three of these
-Bottom Left: |-- it has 4 of these
Reasoning why there is no --- symbol: You wouldn't mark down something as having nothing of something
Reasoning of a pictograph: The image itself isn't clear enough to make precise calculations, nor does it include a key or scale. The image is describing a body with the important information front and center.
Ideas for the quadrants?
Lower Right: The center object orbits one body?
Top Right: It has two stars?
Top Left: Looks like an orbit, so it has 3 things orbiting it?
Bottom Left: 4 others in its local system?

Might I recommend you keep track of your various measurements, average them out, and estimate a margin of error to go along with it. And thank you for your work on the meridian, it is much appreciated!
What about if one of the symbols give us the rotational "direction" of the planet - this would/could lead to at least a reference from what direction the sphere has to be looked at (wow... is that grammaticaly correct - no native speaker). (c) of this theory: CMDR Vala Maldoran (SecB)

alien message
srry i dont know how to use the forums but i found something you may find usefull, the website http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/spacecraft/goldenrec_more.html shows how to read the voyagers golden record which looks a lot like the alien message you found

*coughs* for the direction from which *coughs*
No-one would have picked you up though cause we all know what you mean
I have no idea if this is of any value or not, but came across this while searching Merope 2A. I've come across ship wrecks before but nothing like this. Sorry if its normal but feel it worth posting.

We've got a confirmation on the guy with the UP free floater, he says it was in Elephant's Trunk Sector DL-Y D20. He seems to be pretty certain about what he found, and UA free floaters were originally only appearing in a few systems. In any case, I'm there right now and looking.
I posted my guess about that a while ago. But, like most pet theories, mine was ignored
Basically I think that final symbol is the statement (or question) and the sphere is the cypher to understand it.
Where the hell did you get this information? There is nothing aabout this in his Reddit thread...
EDIT: It IS in his Reddit thread - nevermind :-D

Looking into this line of thinking some more. To the right of the symbol we all know, there's more "stuff". I've highlighted the pertinent details:
Now, overlay this on my previous overlay of the clue on Merope 5, do a bit of scaling and rotation, and you get:
More and more, this is not looking like a coincidence. Now, what does the stuff on the left mean?
UPDATE: The chevron looking symbol to the left of the "clue" fits the opposite side of the merope 5b orbit and the merope 5 orbit. I didn't do pics this time because it's all getting too busy, but if you don't believe me, try it yoruself.

If this is coincidence I'm done.
