With the idea of getting a more simple point of view, I showed the UP sonogram image to my son. I showed him how it was made in Audacity (which he thought was awesome and now I'm going to have to scan every song he listens to), and then asked him what he thought it meant. He said that the message is a clock.

He was unable to articulate exactly why he thought so (he's 8), how the clock worked, or exactly when it was counting to, so he has really not contributed anything which I can hang some science on, but I thought it was an interesting attempt anyway.

The only thing he did was creep me out. When I asked him how long we had, he looked me right in the eye and told me "I don't know, but not long. They are coming. Maybe you should run."

So, yeah. A trip to Jacques' is sounding better and better. And kids can be really creepy.

Now it's ok. You cannot understand how hard is to edit the FP on a phone...

A note to EVERYONE:
Cody from BBC asked for pictures not for theories. So please send just the pictures, if they are funny or relevant, and they include everything that is needed to explain your thoughts.
And not only yours: if you think you've seen nice ones, you can share them!
Like the one on Reddit about the pizza :)

People move on to other things as time passes, so it's only natural that the people contributing change over time. I also find this thread much better for discussing things than The Canonn, although I personally prefer a more real-time chat. Although the Discord channel has improved a bit over the last few days as I think many people are giving up, which cuts down the fluff.

That said, I think that a lot of work is indeed also being done behind closed doors. As a (former) UP carrier, I have been part of multiple groups all trying to solve the riddle independently from each other. It's not necessarily a bad thing. It's how science works in real-life too.

Its a decoder ring... also. for anyone who does not bellive me. speed up the UP passive sound 5x. there a distinct chirps in there.

It's definitely not a decoder ring.

I'm right now sitting in space looking at the derelict vessel that this image reveals the location of, and it definitely wasn't a "decoder ring".

Spoiler around the screenshot for those who don't want to know yet.

Remember the cap ship spectrogram? We thought it was a cobra wireframe.. But the thargoid ship could have been it too. The "elite" at the bottom of yours was at the top of the other. Bet it was just an old screenshot.

The left frame was just the original start screen of BBC Elite wasn't it?

I've seen the images from 4km and below not sure about 8km but if your using 4K it should be better. Apologies if I said messages, I'm no xenolinguist I just see shapes and weird things there. Is say check around the previous coords I gave. I don't have that paper with me currently.http://i.imgur.com/GipV29W.jpg

I know you said it was a test composite, but there is a lot of noise in these shots, I have a program that can stitch the photo's together, let me know if you need some help with the photo processing and I will arrange an email address ot folder on the cloud for you to drop them in.

Yeah I'm processing these in Procreate manually. Pm me with the drop folder details. A collaboration is in order, methinks.

this is very interesting.

maybe the instruction could be:

''this is your compass''
''keep the central point, is Merope 5c''
''we give you two points to lock (the two left bottom lines)''
''Follow the line at 5 o'clock''
Click to expand...

thing is, how do you follow a radial line in your compass? if a line appeared from the center to the edge like that, what would you do?
If that is the compass, the aliens are using a symbol that never appears on our compass to tell us to do something that we don't know what it is.

Does your 8-yo son listen to a lot of Aphex Twin?
