LOL its funny because its true!
Sorry I'm interrupt the UP tinfolery with an UA/Barnacle related thing 
In this thread Commander Artigan99 found a ship wreckage and there were "spooky" sounds. He also put a video footage and as you can check it sounds like the UA. He was in Omega 1 Aquarii 3 coords 86.72 / -165.15 . You will identify immediately the spooky sounds as UA sounds (~0:25 and ~1:05 for example).
I've checked the spreadsheet but there is only one Barnacle + Anaconda (in Pleiades Sector JC-U b3 2 1). Can be another one? I can't check it by myself right now (I'm on Jaques Station)
Thanks

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 still skeptical too. I am wondering if it's more like a protocol, where there are certain patterns for "start/stop" and "end of word" etc. I am thinking that the chirp word --- might be such. If so we could have a set of galactic coordinates here.
That's all very well, but you cant deny that there are some very compact areas in there that have nothing to do with the image above. The "Voice" if you want to call it that comes from those dark bits.

Thanks for observing it.

It's a well known wreck with a UA.
Spooky sounds and all - not leading us further for now.
I spent a bit of my lunch hour thinking about the UP spectrographic analysis image. I haven't been keeping up with this thread but I figured it wouldn't harm to bung my ideas here on the off chance that they trigger a light-bulb moment for someone with more knowledge.
So, treating the -|-, -||, |--, --| markers in the 4 corners as binary 001 (1), 010 (2), 011 (3), 100 (4) then each of the four corners of the image can be given a number (the order in which to utilise their clues perhaps?). Taken individually each corner could then be some kind of icon/infographic as to how to go about finding a location on the planet (Merope 5C?).
(3) Parp the discovery scanner?
(2) Get an echo from the planet?
(1) Follow a bearing?
(4) Narrow your search? (reminds me of the way the progress of a wake scan is shown on the HUD as the bars move inwards)
Sorry, that's all I've got so far but like I say ... it might inspire someone.

Nope, not luck. 135 is practically guaranteed to make a regular shape when combined with 90 and mirrored. There's the minor problem that 135 falls outside the range of measuring precision for the image (should be about 139 +/- 1 degree, 2 at most).

I suspect many of you missed this HUGE gift CMDR Vent made us!
Time to transcribe the purrs! I cannot from my phone!
Was the UP HONKED before the recording CMDR?
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.
I love you Han, your is the best interpretation so far. And it could be the right one! According to the previous UA mystery at least, where a simple drawing was the result of the instructions.
Vitamin, you are awesome and I love your research. But it is far too complicate! That's why some of us are taking just the purrs, they can be easily spotted by ear. Anyway I love your science.
It seems to me that the real science is done in late evening/night here... While in the morning people are still hearing voices and seeing images.
Are the Americans better then us then?
I do my science 24 hr a day, however

Spot on, there's nothing there.
The multiple UP signals overlaid animation is quite interesting as it's then very clear what is message (stationary) and what is game noise (moves).
If I had one question to ask Mr Brookes at this point it would be are you satisfied with the imagery we've gotten out of the signal? I think it's a yes, don't think there's more to see or hear in the transmission.
There is a high chance that han is right.
I do have mixed feelings on it however.
If it is just that : a picture of a thargoid ship.
That is both something that builds up hype in my eyes , but is a bit of a let down at the same time.
If FD said the UP is a key , does that mean its the key to finding the picture thats inside , or that there is something more to do with it yet?
Lore wise , it seems that it scaned us , has all sorts of data on us.
I think the ex federal president might be a fake human (because she seems to preach from the 3rd person perspective)
Or just had her life changed by what she saw.
I think what ever they are , maybe they are not going to be hostile to everyone , only those who have done one of the things the ex president said was bad

Ah, I completely forgot that thread (I should have posted it there).
Thanks and sorry

+1 rep for having a The Day of the Tentacle profile pic :-D

I have to voice some serious concerns over all this.
1) I'm not even 100% sure that Han is being serious (but this is for anyone that thinks he is).
2) To someone who didn't already know what they were trying to create, the instructions: draw a line at 135°, rotate it 90°, make a smaller/bigger copy, add some connecting lines, could end up with sooo many different shapes that it just seems like a terribly vague way to communicate.
3) If they can encode drawings in their sound, why encode easily misinterpretable instructions on how to draw another shape, when they could just encode the shape itself?
If this turns out to be THE SOLUTION (and, with all due respect to Han, I really hope it's not) then FD are buffoons of the highest order (sorry).

Hi guys. Loving the thread
May I present my antidote for all those scientists tired of driving around and around on Merope 5c....... The Orbital Aliens Theory
I'll start with a picture to build the excitement a little:
(Note, the audio-image isn't mine, I just shamelessly pilfered it from the first page to scribble on)
Proposal in brief:
Panel 3 - appears to show a system-map showing a planet/star with three planets/moons orbiting it, with a UP/UA/spaceship above. Somewhat similar to the Voyager system map which shows the Sun as a large square with smaller squares for the planets. (Merope 5 or Merope 3 ?).
Panel 4 - calculates a number, starting from an existing, and observable, orbital radius (Merope to M5 or M3 ?), and indicates two fixed reference points that will be needed to orient ourselves. (The two galactic clouds would be good reference points as they are fixed relative to the Merope star, and highly visible)
Panel 5 - appears to show a 'polar' orbit using a radius calculated from Panel 4, at 90 degrees to a plane marked by the two reference points.
Panel 1 & 6 - A little vague, but could be two views looking inwards across the Galactic disc, from slightly different angles, possibly to identify the location of Merope? Each set of curved grid-lines appears to be centred on a point away to the top right of the view.
Panel 2 - Who knows? Could contain data in that block of 'noise'.
If we throw some numbers at panels 4, we could get something like:
Step 1 - Radius from Merope to Merope 5 = 5090ls (ish)
Step 2 - Quarter circumference = 2 x 5090 x 3.142 /4 = 7996
Step 3 - Half circumference (2x quarters) = 2 x 7996 = 15992
Step 4 - Use the two galactic clouds (Magellanic Clouds?) as references
Moving to Panel 5, starting from a plane centred on Merope and orientated with the two Magellanic Clouds positioned horizontally at 90 degrees to our left, we have a 'polar' orbit at radius 15992ls at 90 degrees to the clouds.
Testing: Pick suitable system objects for A, B, and 2x References, calculate orbit and fly round it to see what you find.
EDIT - I think it only makes sense to choose the Merope star as the centre of the orbit and two objects outside the system as reference points, everything else in-system will move over time, relative to each other.
Possible Result: Discover alien spaceship/base/probe/something orbiting [alien]
Discuss
I can tell you all that in the part that is market as Panel 2 are data contained and that are lots of them. We need to find the Key for this data region in the message. In my mind i think about like it was done by the arecibo message. Prime numbers 23 and 41 as i think. But it will take this week or maybe the next week till i can make a better scan on this data files.

Nice job. Looks just like the old ED thargoid ships:

Potentially an easter egg.
