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 ^^

Rep. to you NS. [up]

Looking forward to the new interface.
 
Speculation: the order is 4,3,2,1

4: line up the nav markers from planetary map, the two dashes on the circle mark long and lat, the arrows pointing left point to the equitorial nav marker and where to land.

3: approach merope 5c and scan if needed

2: enter orbit

1: land at coordinates provided

Will test and report back

I dont know if this has been tested yet, but maybe the UP serves as a Key to permit locked systems with unknown permits, since it has been called a key by Frontier. The idea originally came from the user VectorData on the Cannon subreddit and was submitted 3 days ago. (Link to original post on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Canonn/comments/4uybd7/whole_sector_locked_out_thargoids_advancing/ )

Technically this idea was first considered last friday week - when 'a key' was first spotted in the newsletter.
 
I am presently following a tip off to an uninhabited system. Can anyone advise if tucanae sector HH-U b3-o A 7 a is listed? Investigating a crashed ship reported here by tip off

Umm, guys? https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/4vhdnh/barnacles_at_fast_playback/

I think someone pushed this in new direction… (Or I missed something in the last hundreds of pages… ;))

Playing this on the piano right now. Let´s ignore that the cat was running away screaming, I have no idea what code this is :)

(Sidenote: Read about musical notes, frequencies and all this.. from my point of view, the theory that they are knowing our way of writing and naming notes is a clear 0/10).

Ha just came here to post this.

People are saying that it's difficult to know what the real scale is, as the audio is sped up 10x, so difficult to find the right notes.

Would it be possible to analyse the original (very low frequency) sounds with something that can figure out the notes being played? - I know that determining the pitch of a sound isn't that hard to some of you audio peeps ;) - what I'm not sure of is if any of the tools you use would reliable work at such low frequencies ..
 
Just a little something i thought about, but in the lore, aren't Thargoid ships organic?

And doesn't the description of Meta-Alloys say something about being organic too?
...

Also, heading over to Atlas, to see if there's any mythology connection at all.

Music and Harmonics are universal things based on fundamental physical principles. While the symbols we assign to specific frequencies (letters) may not be familiar to them, the intervals between the notes will be the same..?

/edit/ :p it worked for the aliens in close encounters!

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.

I'm working alongside Jinx and a couple of others to try and develop this train of thought.
We have a method which involves only 1 leap of faith at the end, so we really need 2-3 clean recordings of 6 minutes or so to double check the method.

When the Aliens listen to Michael Jackson.. yes.. otherwise... they may have a different "hearing range" or whatever... I highly doubt that this is the right theory, especially when they are able to embed pretty clear visual stuff into a soundfile while disabling ships...

Even if they have a different range for hearing the intervals of musical notes will be the same. Why we find sounds nice is related to the intervals between notes, not where they are in the frequency range, i think?

//but lets not go into detail here and lower the signal to noise in this thread even more ;)
 
2874 LY away from Sol, way outside the Bubble I came across a USS. Maybe nothing but here are some pics so you can theorize;

Found a USS;

When I dropped out of Supercruise I found;

Scooped it up;

There was a small amount of debri, I wonder who was out here ? and what happened to them.

Cmdr K@minsky out.
 
Was just looking over the spreadsheet of experiments to see if this was on there;

Take a UP and UA to a live barnacle and do some honking?
 
What's the longest we've hung around after honking a UA? Have we given a chance for anyone to find us after it's potentially sung?

I am sorry to disappoint you. The intervals of our musical notes is man-made and differs between various cultures. See Well temperament and look up the various temperaments in the "See also" section.

The niceness of tones and chords is solely based on our culture. It is not unique to the laws of nature.

lol, so much this. The second someone said the word "interval" like it was some universal thing, I was thinking we don't have universal agreement of the intervals between notes, EVEN ON THE SAME        G PIANO (wolf tones etc) so how the hell are we thinking that it's something common and easy to understand.

It's like when people say "music is the universal language" then they hear some 2000 year old traditional song in some different mode and says it's out of tune.
 
Just a little something i thought about, but in the lore, aren't Thargoid ships organic?

And doesn't the description of Meta-Alloys say something about being organic too?

I don't know about the thargoids, but everything we found so far (barnacles, UA, UP)... and I think it's valid to say that, are at least partly of organic nature. Possibly highly genetically engineered and bred for a purpose.
