as a matter if fact also, not getting any signal is different than getting signals that are not UPs.
I was only discarding planets when I had at least 2 different signal sources. my understanding is that there is a random chance of getting a signal that depends on the system, population, etc, and once you are granted a signal another randomisation choses what type of signal you get.
if you get NO signals, persist and wait, at the very least you will always see degraded emissions.

I think you missed the start of the transmission. I'm hoping there was a high-high-high note. The reason I think this is the UP is definitely counting. The first part of the transmission should be high-high-high which is actually 000 when converted to binary:
- There are lots of three bit characters in the message
- High pitched notes are 0, low notes are 1 in each character
- Convert that binary to decimal you get the message below
- Each new line is the separate sections after the wails
- Slashes are pauses
- # is the random single/double bit character. Some sort of punctuation?
- The question mark is where I think CMDR MyklAtrum's recording misses the start
- The intro character after each wail is counting. This is definitely structured data!
? / 7 2 3 # 1 7 5 0
1 / 2 3 1 # 3 7 2
2 / 1 6 5 5 # 3 3 0
3 / 2 2 0 1 # 3 1 0
4 / 2 0 7 / 2 1 7 5 1 2 3 # 1 7 5 0 / 1 2 2 / 1 4 2 2 1 # 1 7 5 / 2 1 0 / 3 4 3 # 1 7 5 0
The UP is sending data, presumably about it's surroundings, to Merope system and probably body 5C. The data must describe it's surroundings. It could be something to do with CMDR MyklAtrum, Pleiades Sector KC-U b3-1 and the bodies in it?

What's the name of that movie, something about Mars. They played sound of human DNA to the giant alien face on Mars to get it open. "Mission to Mars" or something...
Has anyone tried pinging the free floating UP, recorded the sound, and looked at the picture the sound produced to see if it is different yet? I think that should be done ASAP, no?

So this may not be Thargoid but an engineered countermeasure against them? Watching ammonia worlds for them?

The CoR have informed all its participants who discover Eafot Ammonia Worlds with Threat Level 2 Signal Sources to post the information in this thread.
Likewise, the August Exodus Convoy pilots headed out to Jaques have also been asked to do the same.

Aye it's odd and that other chap claiming his recent UP loss was due to client crashing at Pleione 3 too.
I spent a bit of time round there last night, just degraded emissions like you, only weird thing was this on the surface of 3 but it's nothing really besides a bit of a curiosity related to the procedural generation I think. (3 in non-landable btw)
Also whichever way I look at the scan I cannot fully associate it with Pleione 3 so I'm not convinced at all that's the place, but still the repeat crashes....

There are 'free-floaters' - in the sense that they can be found where they are supposed to be, rather than being transported via convoys.

And we have now discovered them ? Is there anything else to this mystery we need to solve before 2.2 ?
No wonder why you got so intrigued. I'd have done the same. I assume it is the same case as with 'lights' in the crater edges on Merope. Next time if you can confirm this light is actually the main star by having it targetted that could be good enough to fill a bug report.
I was going to start adding ones I do the the editable sheet, as long as they reference a post here saying so it can be trusted I think. Then you can transfer then across whenever and don't need to monitor this thread constantly.
Or maybe add a new sheet for this? I think as long as the row claiming a test is done references a post here it's all good, hmm then again you wuold get idiots deleting them?
EDIT: IGNORE ME IM ABOUT 10 PAGES IN THE PAST - WELL DONE ALL!!

Looks like a lot of us were right about it being outside of merope but well within the shell. That is why MB was hinting at. I really didn't think this was thargoid related it would have been too obvious! I had looked for helium worlds within the same parameters duh.
This is good great job ilo. Finally more info
I spent a lot of time looking for 'ceremonial comms detected' signals, waiting for a UP to be floating around some religious leader before. Belmonte said they were free-floaters, but no one was sure they were just 'UA'-like free floaters, you have to give us that

The first tweet is always within the howl, and the recording here includes the first howl and first tweet within it.
spent so long reading here that my neglected collector limpet exploded...SH@t myself, thankyou
Mission to Mars by Brian de Palma. Awesome film really.
