Scratch that, it's most likely a probe as it says it is. Maybe this is something more like a mid-air collision. The Feds were messing around on Merope. They collide with someone else messing around on Merope. Both send out a distress. The Probe picked up the distress some time later, but the Feds (being closer) pick it up. And then they pick up a lot of these UPs. This way the person sending the probes just doesn't know what happened. In the mean time the Feds get new shinies. This forces the owner of the UP to come in person... we're somewhere around that point now... maybe?

Tried running the signal through zx emulator, and looked at same different formats in the spectrogram and it just doesn't work - nice idea though!
Mr. Brooks; are the signals found in the stations' central spire related to the Unknown Artifacts? While I know you're against giving things away, I'm against spending inordinate amounts of time chasing red herrings, so any insight you could provide would be helpful.
What if the Symbols are a representation of the Discovery Scanner that is being rebroadcast by the UP

From the new update that came out. What does this mean?
Reduced the timing interval on the probe to bring the total transmission down to just over 6 mins

Please forgive me if this has already been responded to as I'm about 40 pages behind and trying desperately to catch up. So, if everyone could just hold off theorizing for a bit while I catch up, that'd be great. 
Seriously, though, there is a group already trying to more "brute force" approach in trying to find additional convoys or free floating UPs, beginning around Merope and expanding outward toward the UA shell.
There are even prizes for the commander lucky enough to strike UP gold. It's called Operation Hunt the Wild and all are invited! More info at the link below.
Good hunting, fellow commanders!

Not sure if they know our letters... so 2/10...
Why not? They can learn.

Sure. But my first thought is that maths are the most universal language. So if they really want to talk to us, they would use maths.
They use math, but those symbols are obvious Morse code. So they could use a combination of math and other languages.
Possible. But morse for what? Their language? So ".+." could mean "2 Fried Barnacle legs with mince sauce and a diet coke". We have no idea.
my idea is still that we have perfect information in the picture, and are just way too stupid to solve it
Why are so many Cmdrs convinced that this is Morse Code ? The upper symbols use dashes, where the lower symbols use dots. Whoever wants to communicate in morse and transmitting this as a picture, would be consistent is the use of either dashes or dots ?
just my 2 cents
The Unknown Artifacts use Morse Code,.. .., ....
Certainly testable, somehow..

Will update my post.
The pointing is deliberate, so the pointing may be a clue. However, if MBs comment of 'space based' has been interpreted correctly then what's on a planet may not be relevant.
Lots of if's and may's..
