These images remind me of this scene...

My hypothesis is as follows. The map represents Merope 5C (at least for the time being) the diagonal line points from the relative location of the crater into the massive ravine. The image is a set of instructions for the probe to survey the ravine area. Possible starting from the ravine end of the line.
The probe needs to read the message that spans from the ravine into the crater, the crater representing the final blow dealt to Meropes prior inhabitants. Either the assailants or a survivor of the attack left a message. The probe will then transcribe the message and forward it back to its masters.
If we are on our toes we may be able to listen in on that message and locate where it came from. The probe most likely needs to be dropped from above the message.
I'll save my hypothesis on what our involvement in this matter means for us for another time.
IF we can't get the probe to do our dirty work then I imagine we're going to have a lot of explorers flying around upside down on Merope 5C soon, trying to piece the image together.

Is that the location of one of the barnacles though?
Could you explain your statement a little bit more?
It might help to describe what you mean by "use the color key and you will see them".
And it might help to describe what you are seeing as most of us don't see anything on your pictures.
I think most CMDRs here will give your theory a chance if they are able to follow your thoughts.

I know this is a troll but it is probably ourmost plausible theory so far!

I found out that the UP message
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.
Then according to point two, I made a 90° rotated copy.
Point three seemingly described a smaller(or bigger?) copy of my current drawing, inside it. I made this:
Finally, I mirrored the drawing and added the connecting lines for each quadrant like it's described in point four.
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.

The color key I am referencing to is from the newsletter we received 2 weeks ago. In it, the phrase "a key" of sorts, was highlighted green with the color palette 32,97,69. So one could use that color scheme to see the Nazca Lines on Merope 5c, either through pictures that are then modified in a photoshop type of application or other means. It may be important to note that the "highlights" option was used.
As for other planets, I'm not convinced that they will have imagery on them given the fact that all of this alien technology is focusing on Merope 5c BUT, it wouldnt hurt to look.
As far as the barnacles are concerned, I'm not convinced they belong to the same species as the probe aliens.
Long story short, I stumbled upon this ladies and gents, I just had the inclination to check the area that the line pointed to. Then saw something out of place and didn't let it rest.
I'm hoping someone much more capable than I can help clarify some of the imagery, that way there's less doubt in the air.
EDIT: I'm sorry if this seems over simplistic to those who delved extremely deep into the sound files, but this happened before when the UA was discovered. I for one am glad it doesnt require an amazing amount of knowledge in coding, or octaves. Instead this solution seems to be the most "in game".

I'm not a troll. I'm Han Zen.
Han_Zen never trolls - he Han_Zens.
And we like it lots.
He's a Han_Zen chap I've heard.
They look clearer im not convinced they are much more than lighting effects at their most basic but any theory is worth following at this point. I guess the next step (which has been mentioned before) is to test it on other planets and also apply a different colour filter to see if we get the same result.

Thank you for helping. The whole message is huge! So it's very hard for me to take a picture of a large piece of it.

Passed this system yesterday and got curious (same train of thought as you).
This post is a year old so something could have changed but I wouldn't be surprised if it's still the same.

No worries glad to help a little.
I see cockpit glass & possibly lighting effects from the ship. I'm not sure whether it's anything else than terrain.
Sorry, I'm blind to whatever we're looking for.
I would suggest:
- Shots in debug mode (no cockpit glass)
- no ship lights.
- from 1,3,8 km altitudes for different terrain mesh scale
- as well as 3 more locations so you can make sure it's not the terrain.

I agree with this. I feel like they're just texture patterns for that particular area of terrain, hence why they might not appear quite so obviously like a 'pattern' elsewhere.
By all means keep exploring the idea but I don't think there's much there.
Don't know why one can't see your links. This quote just to make your link appear
