Somebody quoted developer saying (it was on #7 thread) that you only need pencil and paper and game itself to solve this. So..

That is not true anymore.
Few days ago, MB said (before me discovering the UP reply): "That's true for the older stuff, some of the new stuff might need a bit more help."

And this is a good thing, IMHO: because we were using external tools anyway, FD decided to make it a more meaningful task somehow.
And, IMHO, you can still use pen and paper now, to decode the sonogram. The only external tool could just be obtaining a spectrogram from a sound: a not very hard thing to do after all, but that could bring new enjoying results, as we are experiencing now ;)

You can check all MB relevant comments on the FrontPage.

Anyhow, just reporting on my failed theory:

Analysing the spectrogram image, I interpreted it like so:
1, --| move away from star, center of the system...
2, |-- towards the first orbit (M1)
3, -|- second orbiting body (assumed as M1B, could have been M1C, since A and B share the same orbit)
4, -|| possible landmark? (see below)

As I approached M1B, two mountains, close together were easily visible from orbit. They stood out from the rest of the terrain (which is very mountainous in M1B), they could be the two legs in the image. Landed near the base of on and SRV'd to the other, nothing found.
Flew above both of the, nearly scraping my ships paint, nothing of interest; surveyed the surrounding area, again nothing; last I surveyd a large crater, in close proximity to the two mountains, only a couple of POIs, nothing of interest.

Did a quick survey of M1C, nothing of note was found, apart from a large crater, goind to investigate in more depth today.

If anyone feels there's any merit to this theory, please feel free to expand on it and help with the planetary search.

That info is wrong, sorry. What the devs said was that for this particular stage we would need more than just pen and paper.

Сommunity use audio analyzers for UA signal and FD saw that it was funny.
Then FD use audio analyzers to create new mystery - community says what this is not funny?
This UP mystery is the best thing i ever met in games!

Go on FD!

Maps have a key that tells you the details about the map its scale, orientation, meaning of features

Also known as a Legend.

Map Key or Legend. A map key or legend is included with a map to unlock it. It gives you the information needed for the map to make sense. Maps often use symbols or colors to represent things, and the map key explains what they mean.

The only solution that makes any sense to me (still) is that the UP is a key to the markings on the UA.

The UA has 2 different sequences of lights that have 1-4 lights in each row.

[great gallery from someone showing the 2 sequences clearly]
http://imgur.com/gallery/CBRTS

The sequences seems to be (roughly):
1-1-3-3-1-3-3-3-3-4-3-1 (or 3?)
1-1-3-2-1-3-1-1-1-2-1-1
[TOP<---->BOTTOM]

Note:
- there is no zero, so a direct mathematical interpretation would be 'hard' to understand.
- there is only one '4', which would be unusual if this has a mathematical purpose.
- the binary interpretation of the UP matches that range (1-4, no zero).

I think it is merely a wreck with a data point on it, apparently common....did anyone see the utube post of the guy finding a massive square hole in a planet, looking very artificial , dropped down it , drove about the floor in srv, odd open corners with lattice pattrn behind

Think I saw it last week but it seemed like a bug. Just like the tower bug I saw a while back.
