Took me way longer than I expected to get to E.T.
Bedtime for me but the search begins tomorrow as I am actually, finally, there. Fly safe, CMDRs. Let's solve this soon eh?

I apologise if this has been posted before, but it's seem a coincidence that these 3 nebulae correlate to the first symbol in the spectrograph, the -|- one
Just sheer coincidence? Or maybe a lead?

Found one of these in Beagle Point a while ago...
Ok guys, I'm arrived in Elephant's Trunk Nebula.
At this time, only Degrade Emission.
I'll continue tomorrow.
Good night Europe, kiss from France.

Oh God (no, not Him)...
Oh Satan ! I'm sure you're on something very interesting

Good man! but awww
I'm heading that way now. Shouldn't take me too long to get there.
I think this is a much more approachable challenge then doing this on a planet. North is highly likely to be based on the orientation of the galaxy - so you align the axis either up/down or point it at the core. We can skip aligning the correct rotation because if the finite number if targets (systems in the shell as opposed to an infinite number of points on a sphere). If we apply the angle theory (bottom left quadrant = angle down from the pole) you would just need to trace that angle on the sphere and see what systems fall along the circle it makes. Even if you have to do this for several orientations (up, down, inward, outward) I do not think you would have many hits.
Unfortunately, my Mathematica skills are not up to this challenge.
I can't argue that it looks the same. What does everyone else think?
I personally consider most attempts to fit things to the image to be almost surely coincidence. You can get hundreds of contradictory things using pareidolia like that. Notably in this case, the small nebulae on either side are not flat lines like they are in the code. And that part of the code is almost surely Morse or Binary, therefore not an image.

Did you take any screenshots of the UP convoy? How did you manage to take on the Convoy alone, scoop the UP and get out of there? It usually has a couple of Anacondas, 3-4 Vultures and sometimes a FAS or two as Escort. A technique for avoiding all of those and getting out with the UP would be appreciated by all who are alone and looking.
Also, a more detailed report would be appreciated for this spreadsheet
and
I agree with RiZ@L that the poster *seems* genuine. There are however, as Ozric points out, some very distinct discrepancies in the poster's story. The lack of *any* screenshots seem strange, especially for an explorer. During my first exploration trip I took pictures of everything...and then some. That however, is not what is troubling me. I took a look at his posting history on Reddit, and then specifically during the time period he is talking about.
First, on 26 May at around 17:30 UTC, he posts that he is in the North America Nebula and is thinking about heading home due to the 2.1 update (Here). That much follows his story.
Now, in his recent Reddit thread he claims to have gone from there to the Elephant's Trunk Nebula to take some screenshots. It varies a bit why he wanted to take those screenshots ( 1. The Pirate paintjob looks cool, 2. Some other guy was going to stand on his Asp), but "for Screenshots" is atleast the explanation for going there. But, the very next evening on 27 May at around 22:03 UTC he puts an image on Reddit, which by his response to the replies looks to be "realtime". The problem I have with this post and his timeline is that he is in MAIA the day after he was in the North America Nebula (Here).
Going FROM the North America Nebula TO the Elephant's Trunk Nebula and then BACK to MAIA within a day does not sound like someone doing exploration to me. When I explore I take my time scanning systems, checking out planets, surfing the interwebs etc. I don't speedjump from one Nebula to the next, take a photo, and then speedjump back to "the bubble".
I have no idea how the ED Tool stuff (never used it) logs events, but it would be nice to see a longer history of the trip he claims to have made. From the above, I would like to see his jump history from the NAB to ET then MAIA.
I have asked him to transfer his logs to inara.cz, and 2 hours ago he said he would "look shortly". I am still awaiting those logs.
Based on the above I unfortunately find the claim very unreliable. I would really like for there to be a confirmed sighting of a Free Floating UP, but this one makes my neck tingle...and not the positive tingle. Crossing fingers to be proven wrong though!
EDIT:
PS @ RiZ@L: Could you add the sighting of a UP Convoy in Wolf 504 by ashtaraa to the front page. It hasn't been independantly confirmed, nor with accurate screenshots of the Python actually carrying the UP, but it's atleast as reliable as the BRSO 14 sighting. Thanks!

Its also been measured in the geological record as well. Pole shift imminent!!

Its funny that the guy is talking about Elephant's head. I think it could be legit. I was lining up the path of Sirius expansion and it points roughly in that direction. I was going to head out there soon too. Mainly to the Cave nebula..
5cs apparent pole shift could very well have to do with that walloping great big crater on it, it's not inconceivable that a huge impact like that could cause the poles to shift or even cause the whole planet to rotate oddly and then become tidally locked....if what we are looking at is a map of 5c maybe it's old enough we have to take that into account...

I was playing with the symbols in the image today trying to fit them as puzzle parts over each other. I did not get very far and considering my findings, I think it's . But I am still sharing this, since someone might pick it up and develop an idea that is better than my try.....
Most likely not no. There are people who have taken sounds direct from the files and then posted the image. Its not any clearer than it is from in game. I think its made to look unclear because the message is for THEM. not us
Yep. If the system he found the UP in had planets, then it is NOT DL-Y D20.
My other 2 cents. I feel like there is going to be a planet or something hiding out past the orbits. Anyways, make what you can of this image.

Consider that FD would not want to exclude players who haven't bought Horizons from being able to contribute. I don't think the answer is ON the planet.

I still think the bottom symbols are not binary. Maybe its just the top ones.
