Yes I used Rumkin, the puzzle is a cryptogram its a simple letter replacement puzzle.
Yes there is more than one possibility but in relevence to Elite Barnard is a definate hit.
what kept pulling me back to that line of thinking is its simple and hidden in multiple layers also the repeating pattern of 19 , 6 led me to believe it was more than coincidence.

Barnard's star or Barnard's loop?

Where did this information come from?
 
Oh I agree with that but I refuse to think that such a sentiment then means people are not allowed to share comments from elsewhere. This is a forum for community ideas and thoughts. They don't all have to be right, or immediately provable, they just have to give us something to think about, and then accepted or rejected as such.

Agree, its just some people are taking hearsay as gospel and that leads to pages and pages of speculation based on some streamer or community figure ramblings.

even this post of mine is wasting your time because it provides no content, nor moves the research or factual discussion forward...

I guess its just a personal gripe, but scrolling through dozens of pages of this person said, or have you tried this? (looking at people that dont read the front page :p )

What I like to see is posts like, "here is something I found, here is the tests I did... and here are the results"

Sure, he's in game now

Ta I'll send him a PM, I was just wondering whether he'd manage to test the UP with different ships since his got his back? I postulated a while ago about the UA identifying a certain type of ship and the UP needing that ship now. Thinking also of the link to the curious ships that were being glimpsed around the galaxy S5: 7 and the like, if I remember correctly we didn't get a positive id of any of the types of ships apart from the DBX at Obsidian Orbital. That's the one I'd probably start with.
 
One last half formed thought came to my head as I was drifting off to sleep. Something I remembered about Orion chasing the Pleiades... I must sleep but will do some more research in the morning and share here what I come up with if anything at all.
 
Hi CMDRs! o7

I need to update the barnacle sheet... incoming data has been slow.

There has been a sudden spike of interest due to the barnacles apparently known in HIP 17225 A 1.

(lol spike of interest...barnacles... heh)

If you have Detailed Scan data on:

Witch head Sector GW-W C1-4 A 4
Witch head Sector LC-V C2-10 A 6
Witch head Sector LC-V C2-10 B 2
Witch head Sector LC-V C2-10 B 1
(Pleiades) HIP 17225 A 1
Then please comment with a link on the following tab within the Barnacles Meta Spreadsheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...5KT-o9u05ihWKXebt4BcM/edit?pre#gid=1511998258

Any questions? do not hesitate to pm me!

P.S. Sometime next month we should be moving away from spreadsheets in all cases related to this mystery. Stay tuned for a new database interface ^^
 
Starting to grow tired of this now. We may have "solved" this already (assuming there is anything to actually solve that is!) but as there is no feedback and no indication of what the puzzle is for - or even if it is a puzzle at all - makes its hard to sustain interest.

Whatever FD have planned I hope they do it soon as this aimlessness is begin to fatigue.

Yawn.
 
Im sick of this threadnaught in these recent days. everyone asks for proof for everything

Ok. Let me explain. the probe makes "chrip" sounds. they come in groups of 3. and if you follow all those chrips you get binary. What im trying to is decode that binary.

So instead of just saying your theory you make it sound like you have a solid fact, which you didn't. You have a theory that has yet to bear any fruit and you act like you know it all. For the love, just say, "I think etc etc etc" ... Don't say you know something or have prooved something when you haven't. Do you not understand why that is bad?

It is inaccurate and misleading and frustrating if not detrimental to the entire process. This isn't the first time you've done it either which is why I've gone on a mini rant about it.

Take a break the and we'll see you in thread 9
 
I can add no valid theories at this point. However, I have to laugh at the thought that somewhere, billions of years from now, an advanced race of beings will be poring over the Voyager Golden Record with intense scrutiny. They will have on their supergalactic tinfoil hats, flipping insane theories out into the ether as though coins down a wishing well.
That metaphorical well will fill to the brim with nary a firm solution until, one day, a hapless wanderer trips over the answer. That fortunate individual will then connect all the dots, confident that he/she/it/they can now falsely claim having been on the right track the whole time.
Focused, peaceful discussion will ensue after this discovery, to better ascertain what should be done with all of the new knowledge. The victor will receive a token of gratitude for having made the momentous discovery, before being brutally murdered by some religious fanatic in a live, galactic broadcast.
Ancient, Earthling zombies will then come up from the dust of Mother Earth to learn the science of space travel, roving around and eating brains of all shapes and sizes until the universe is awash in the gore of empty cranial cavities and disemboweled creatures whose binomial nomenclature surely begins with the letter "¥".
After the complete and total purge of so-called intelligence, the whales of Earth will finally open their mouths, out of which will come forth the true stewards of the universe: Velociraptors. (Whales are sentient beings in a symbiotic relationship with Velociraptors. They all live together in harmony inside sub-ocean caves. We don't know this because we spend more time on meaningless distractions than we do learning about our habitat.):eek:
 
Tinfoil Alert Mk2

This is my 2nd attempt to post this in a fashion that's not terribly formatted, I'm not a forum power user so excuse my errors.

Last night I saw the recording of 10 min of UP on the surface of merope 5c, I took that and turned it into a .Wav http://www.filedropper.com/elitedangerous-horizonsv2105-10minutesofunknownprobeonmerope5c file for audacity and got this http://imgur.com/a/IwXxB I started to listen to the smaller pulses between the large pulses of the singing.
I noticed they came in sets of 4 or 5 but were stretched out and hard to differentiate between a high sounding pulse and a low sounding one so I sped the audio up to 3x and it made them very clear and easy to differentiate.

I listened to 6 min and 30 sec of audio as pertaining to the patch notes where it was said the audio transmission was brought down to just over 6 min. It started to sound like 1's and 0's to me high pulse =1 low pulse = 0

this is what I transcribed from it, binary = number = alphanumeric letter

set 1
10110 = 22 = v
set 2
10011 = 19 = s
set 3
0110 = 6 = f
set 4
1001 = 9 = i
set 5
10011 = 19 = s
set 6
0110 = 6 = f
set 7
1010 = 10 = j

I spent a bit of time looking at the data I had made and initially it looked random even with adding the alphanumeric equivalent, but then I saw the repeating pattern of 19, 6 19, 6 and no number was over 26 (letters in the english alphabet) thought just for funsies to put it through a cryptoquip solver. a cryptoquip being a simple letter replacement puzzle. I used the site rumkin.com .

Then It gave me a small list of words that the crypto could be, I saw barnard and immediatly though of its relevance to elite ( and its similarity to the UP diagram). I went back and looked at my string of data
VSFISFJ and whether is could spell barnard so
V=B S=A F=R I=N S=A F=R J=D and the pattern fit the repeating AR, AR in barnard,
and the set of numbers 19, 6 19, 6. This is how I got my conclusion, and my best recolection of my throught process last night.

hahaha.. you have made a big mistake: you have assumed the poor " finder " that discovers it knows the forum URL of the tinfoilers to tell them!
 
And to date, no comments he's made about the UA/UP story arc have actually ever led to anything. Just saying...

EDIT: Unless, y'know, you want to dig through the comments and prove otherwise ;)

Quite so.

I have said it before and I will say it again. I don't think we have the right recording yet!

Myhre's recording is exelent qualiy, but it lacks two significant features to be sure.

First, I think we need to start the recording by disco scanning the UP. This is to ensure that it is actually active.

Second, thwe recording should be minimum 13min. long, to ensure one full loop of the 6min + total transmission.

After we have this recording, we can analyze the purrs and make sure it loops. If it does not loop, we can asume that only the first 6min after the disco scan is valid data. If it loops, we need to find a start character ('---'?).

When we have determined that we actually have a message, we can start to worry about the content of it.

This. Many this.

Well I doubt anyone will beat that post today... [wacky]
 
A solved mystery isn't that exciting even if we didn't actually solve the clues:
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/276967-Solving-the-Jaques-Mystery

Interesting... Particularly the quote from Jacque about the artefacts overloading the engines and throwing him into witch space. Maybe the info from the probe is instructions on how to get to the probe manufacturers along the lines of what happened to Jacque... Stick artefacts (plural) in your corrosion-proof cargo racks, attempt some kind of long-range jump, possibly with a jump-boosting infusion. Was Jacque attempting to jump directly to Beagle Point?
