UAs, Barnacles and other mysteries Thread 8 - The Canonn

[Cynaqq]

Despite being a lurker lately I am still following the thread and I think there's a simple test we never did due to UP being hard to get a hold of.

The test I'd like to propose is honking at 4 UPs at the same time as a wing. Each person will target their own UP, syncronise over voice and try to honk the scanners as close to the same time as possible.

Another iteration could be to honk in sequence, one after another but still fast enough so all the honks will be finished before the UPs start acting

I know we need 4 UPs together for this and it is hard. It's just a suggestion.

Yes, you are very perceptive. I did it with the old transmission length of the M5C recording. If the new transmission is simply the old transmission, just truncated at the 6:15 mark, then we can shave off the last three numbers and we're left with seven: 22, 19, 6, 9, 19, 6, 26.

It would kind of suck if they changed the recording entirely at this stage, rather than just truncated it. If they are saying, "only the first 6:15 is relevant" then that's cool. Otherwise I'm gonna be like --_--;;;

Here is what I'm working out so far (excuse the crappy drawings, it's a work in progress). Legend:
HC/LC means High Chirp/Low Chirp.
HP/LP means High Purr/Low Purr.
HN/LN means High Note/Low Note (of the chords that play in the background, which you can barely hear, but I'm a ear-trained musician and a synths player and I'm analyzing with some special music software so it stands out a bit easier). Note: I only charted the chords through the first four stanzas due to time. Will finish later.
HD/LD which I used in stanza 3 means "high dot, low dot" because there was a distinct pair of short note sounds there. I doubt if it's relevant.
Shapes - The shapes in the chirp channel delineate the chirp-words as mentioned in my previous post. The shapes in the purr channel are a work in progress, just ignore them. But you can note the more circular one is the -|| mapping.
Lines - A lines connects a chirp-words to a purr when the purr happened simultaneously or within a second or two of the beginning or end of the chirp-word.
Stanzas - I show through stanza 7 (stanzas being separated by the beginning of howls).

I don't know what all this means yet, of course... maybe someone can take it from here. This is just pattern analysis. There is still the small matter of the triple waveform at the top of the spectrogram... is it a carrier wave for some kind of signal perhaps?

I just want to say that what you are doing is excellent and your method is solid. By taking the other sound elements in to account, the analyzes is far more complete. You are the first one to show a repeating pattern in the purrs for any of our objects.[up]

I'm still skeptical about the 5-bit sub-division of the purrs. If we ignore the howls, all the purrs seem equally spaced. All sub-divisions should be considered possible. My listening skills are poor (not better after the local punk rock festival this weekend), so I can't really back up this claim.


I'm also waiting for the right recording, that starts with the disco-scan and lasts for at least two loops.

This can be done on planet now, but a free floater would of course be ideal.

That's what I'm looking for. [yesnod]

One thing I would like to know, given that the probe is the key, the picture tell us where the door is, do we need the probe to open the door.

If we do then most people theories can't really be check out without themselves having access to a probe.

Nazca Lines on Merope 5C!!! Please, drop the UP from high altitude in the bottom right quadrant of the map, above the canyons. I believe I've discovered lines on the ground that appear to be alien language. They're hard to see but the UP should read them. Be prepared to follow the UP all the way to the massive crater which I believe was the killing blow on the prior inhabitants.

Make sure to have audio software ready in case the UP broadcasts back to its owner as it reads. I will try to update with coordinates of where I've spotted these lines as soon as I can.

Here is the link to my thread on Reddit with crappy pics of the lines.

Try 26 UA's together in open space No. It does nothing.

I bow to the master.

I think I have done 6 or 7.
26 takes quite some skill, even with the old spawn rates.

Trust me, it wasn't intentional. I lost 10 of them...

Im telling you guys, we ar not solving this puzzle till Frontier wants us to solve it.

I gave up on it now. Focussing now to upgrade my Annies FSD, then im moving to Jacques. For forever.

Forever ? rest in peace, cmdr.

 

[dynamicbob]

spread out check as many random systems as we can something might pop up

 

[LordZoltan]

Has anyone tried to get 2 Ua's together in open space? They look like they could connect together?

(apologise if this has been asked but this thread is massive lol)

And we did a similar amount, if not more, at the end of the original Educating Ed

[video=youtube_share;GoCiZVf_ea0]https://youtu.be/GoCiZVf_ea0?t=1h10m28s[/video]

Starts at a point where you can already see them all on Ed's radar...

after quite some time I learned a thing: I have faith in this people, there is brain power in this thread. I'm sure we can solve this puzzle and those to come!

Hello Cmdrs,

I just wanted to pop in, and show appreciation for all the work on the UA's, Barnacles and other mysteries thread. I am a combat oriented pilot but I have long been following the thread and the news around the topic and I am in all honesty amazed by the work all the brilliant commanders have been putting forth. All the discoveries and theories are just amazing. Thank you all!

I had a strange thought yesterday that probably isnt worth anything but I just thought I should share with you just incase it is worth anything. I was working on my way towards Professor Palin and inevitably the route led me to Merope. As I approached Pleiades Nebula I dropped out of supercruise to have a smoke break then I noticed strange sounds out in the middle of nowhere. When I turned off my thrusters and sensors, I could hear it much clearer, strange sound effects. They were quite low so I had to turn up the volume a bit. I am pretty sure I had never heard of these sound effects anywhere in the galaxy before but close to Pleiades Nebula. I did not record it but no matter as I jumped to Merope and other systems in and around the Nebula, I could hear these strange sounds anywhere in space.

Now I have no idea if this has been discussed in the here threads before but I thought perhaps not and these might contain a similar pattern as the UP and Barnacle sounds. Or maybe I am going crazy and these are just in my head. Maybe I should stop following this thread and the UA mystery. But I wont. Good luck in your efforts cmdrs. Know that humanity is watching your efforts closely and waiting for your breakthrough! Peace out

PS: A little note on the side, I did find a UP last night around Pleiades Nebula which I slightly rammed while trying to listen closer. I pinged it with an Advanced Discovery scanner a few times, selecting and de-selecting it. But it did not speak to me, it did not shut down my panels or anything. I was expecting something to happen really

Well, can't promise anything, but there's a chance that test might be done soon.

@Cmdr Cahn Hey, if you found a free floating UP, that is what we are all looking for, but are you sure it was not a UA, check pictures of both on the web, if it was a UP, locaton please.

Thanks for popping in!

I'd say if it didn't talk back, then you probably were looking at an unknown artefact, and not an unknown probe, and that you might have been in the 135-150LY range from Merope.

However, on the off-chance that you might have stumbled across a UP in the wild, then it'd be interesting to know where you were!

Cheers!

From the posts of tonight I get the feeling that we need to attract the attention of 'THEM' somehow to make a first contact.

The idea I got was to take as many UAs as possible and at least a dozend ships with UPs in orbit around Merope 5C (maybe 4 in a wing is enough, but lets not be greedy here) ... all in the same instance. Maybe that mass of CMDRs, UAs and UPs will get their attention and they might take a look.

It's the best idea I have right now without going further into solving the puzzle (IF we can solve it with the current information).

The clues that lead to my idea are that every ship and Jaques station in the lore that encountered 'them' had a lot of UAs in their hold. Maybe when they appear they ask for a KEY, which probably is the probe. So having a probe with you on that encounter is vital (at least I wouldn't take the risk and go without).
Also they all point to Merope, so merope seems to be the place to be.

The problem now is to get enough UPs.

@Cmdr Cahn Hey, if you found a free floating UP, that is what we are all looking for, but are you sure it was not a UA, check pictures of both on the web, if it was a UP, locaton please.

I am positive it was an Unknown Probe, found in an ''Anomaly Detected SS [Threat 4]'' in system HIP 14479, close to Merope. I found it while roaming around planets 1 and 2. Nothing spawned when I was off the system plane so my guess is they spawn around the planets or in between.

I will sign myself up for Canonn research and help if I can, I'd love to take part in any experiments [praise]

This is very much an "I'm tired and I don't care" post, but it still may contain something useful.

Read Here First!
__________________________________________________________
Because I'm tired I didn't realize I wasn't copying the seconds from Audacity into the imagery. So... take my word on it. It's all 20 second intervals.

What is this?

I was about to fly out of Jaques Station when I thought, "Oh hey, maybe our radio tower here is now some how getting weird messages since the station had UAs on it?" To which I thought, "You are suffering heat damage. Remove the tin foil from your head and go to bed." The next thought I had was... "And if there was something and you persisted to ignore it for months? How dumb would you feel? This is three minutes of your time... literally because at 4 the station is going to shoot you." So... I backed up beside the tower and hit record.

P.S.
There's no sound at all in the Hangars that make anything of note except the lines you can see between 1:22.0 and 1:26.0 on the Beginning of Audio section.

Also, to read this go left to right, left first top to bottom, right second top to bottom.

Again, sorry, brain dead.

Anomaly Detected SS [Threat 4] as far as we know provides UA.
We do expect to find UP some day in them as well.

If it didn't shut down your ship when you used the ADS is rather unexpected when we talk about the UP.
Such behaviour where nothing happens is expected from an UA though.

I found out that the UP message

Spoiler

is a secret engineer blueprint

As an engineer, I of course had to try to follow the instructions.

I started by drawing a 135° angle, like on the Blueprint.

Spoiler

Then according to point two, I made a 90° rotated copy.

Spoiler

Point three seemingly described a smaller(or bigger?) copy of my current drawing, inside it. I made this:

Spoiler

Finally, I mirrored the drawing and added the connecting lines for each quadrant like it's described in point four.

Spoiler

The problem is that I have no idea what this is. A slightly odd biscuit is most likely, but it could also be some kind of focusing crystal?

Please help.
