sounds like you volunteered!
I'm sitting with a friend at the moment talking about these. We were just running some ideas past each other.
Some obvious, but maybe less-than-needed statemetns:
Unknown Artifact:

Unknown Probe:

I said to him, "The Unknown Artifact looks like someone had these things on a rack of canisters which cracked. Thereafter it became a bee-hive."
He say, "Well, it seems that everyone is assuming that these will behave in tera-firma logics: looks bug, is bug. That's not necessarily the case."
He noted that the little blue fireflies of the UA don't return inside. If this was bees where would change to become queens. This doesn't seem to be happening.
I said, "Well, the UP is orange and hexagonal. That would imply water (hexagon when frozen) and maybe honey (orange)."
Anyway, the conversation is looping at the moment, but we're thinking these things just put organic stuff on whatever they were in. A container.
This raises the question, "Has anyone tried feeding them?" Which leads to... "Has anyone tried feeding these?
Also maybe try feeding them in close proximity to one another?

Yup, there's nothing to see here. Move along!
Your efforts are greatly appreciated CMDR
Looking at the spectrograph again, the simple lined image we have created from it is deleting some important data I believe. The center of the sphere shows a smaller round object in the center (A). The verticle and horizontal lines splitting the sphere do are not directly center of the smaller object in the middle (B). This object is the large crater on Merope 5C. With this information I think the directions are:
--| Go here (line to the crater)
-|| Honk probe with ADS
-|- Look to Horizon
|-- You will see something
I've ruled out the possibility of the -|- step being an orbit, as someone has already tried to honk a probe in orbit over the crater. No result
The symbol for the horizon is strikingly similar to all references of a horizon symbol and/or reference.
When trying to find a specific point of origin from the planet, the largest surface feature sure makes for a great reference point that is easily seen from orbit.

Which makes me think maybe we should be running sonograms at all the Engineer bases- remember how some of them have sounds like UAs?
i spent roughly 10 hrs searching there. Had plenty of threat 4 convoys with type 9s...no UP. I gave up the hunt for now.
Should we also want to ccheck out the planet that the feds and imps want to make bases on? seems weird they would pop here instead of merope
No because I am in ELEPHANT'S TRUNK SECTOR doing science... for you... and everyone else ;-)
I went back to watch the UP video to check the pointing behaviour again. The probe doesn't actually change its orientation at all, not even during the "message" or whatever it is. Perhaps the probe points at Merope 5c for it's own internal reasons and the pointing behaviour is not actually part of "the message". If so, the "message" may relate to some other system entirely.
Also i dont think the crater has anything to do with it alot of planets have craters bigger than this and inside the bubble alone
The crater doesn't necessarily have to be unique to be of importance on this planet.
Anybody got an idea what USS we are looking for for free-floaters? (description/threat level)
I dont think personally its important at all as so many have been there as a prime landing point if anything was to be discovered im sure it might have. although i could be wrong
So one signal 2 mil LS out turned out to be a degraded emissions with an exceptional data inside.
If you are directing someone to a location on Earth, you would use continents. If you were directing someone to a location on Mars, you would use Olympus Mons. If you were directing someone to a point on a moon, you would use its largest feature. It is significant since the probe is pointing back to Merope 5C.

Some of the more, err, rural Americans actually do have 12 or 14 fingers or toes ;-)
I know of the following systems which have been known to "house" UP convoys - try those...
WOLF 294
WOLF 504
G 99-49
(ROSS 47)
That's a testable Theory
