That's unlikely as there's no such code there, however there's clearly an issue - make sure to post it in the bug forum so we can take a look. Thanks!

I think this is the way to do it.
Actually, my current thoughts are the Merope 5C in some way represents the only survivors of the Thargoid incursion, and they are trying to rebuild. The UA could be teh defence net to keep an eye on us, and the UP searching for places to populate and operate from.

There's still the rest of the transmission to unlock - look's like there's some progress on that as well

I've been waiting for them to do an oscilloscope message for a long time now. If any of you find audio with different left/right channels, tell me. I can render those into images. You can get a huge amount of information from a split second of audio. And since we're just talking about plotting each wavelength along a different axis, it's not only a really efficient way of transmitting images and simple video, it's easily considered a universally decodable transmission. The sounds produce the images. Examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjVJLFKvPlU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xr0vTZehcM
Plus all our Hud elements look like they were rendered in a similar fashion by the ships holographic emitters so it would only make sense.

Wow - a busy few hours - well done everyone.
Ammonia worlds for UPs. The recent Galnet article about Thargoids did mention "the Thargoids originate from an ammonia-based world." Even knowing what we now know, I'm struggling to make the original spectogram image look like an ammonia NH3 compound. Maybe a few more lines or arcs, or a 107.8 degree arc would have helped. But perhaps it was just some fresh eyes that were needed - or maybe the original UP image still has yet more to tell us. I'm still hung up on the "it should be easy in retrospect" even if I'm just riding on everyone's coat tails doing the same decoding today. But at the same time I've looked at the Voyager disc image, knowing what it was meant to say, and knowing that unlike our puzzle there was no obfuscation built in, and still struggled to work much of it out.
Interesting about the new 3 bit data, and the use of octal. A little sneaky to invert what we might think of the natural order of the bits i.e. high tone is not usually 0, but that was worked through immediately. Not that we're expecting anything or anyone with a liking for 8 sided things to turn up imminently. This might give us more of a clue if the UP is from the Thargoids, or is itself looking for them.

When you post audio files or spectograms, could we include the system they were recorded in?
I noticed in the one I checked, there were 4 kinds of blocks, and I believe the image is they key to what these 4 mean, just like dreadpirates theory said. If we can correlate the chirps with what the system consists of, we can check to see what the key is telling us. But we need a few examples of the chirps combined with the location they were recorded in.

Rest? Somebody know that we already unlocked?There's still the rest of the transmission to unlock - look's like there's some progress on that as well

So the 4 numbered sections must use the "key"... You earlier said that the spectrogram was a key and I interpret that as the "legend" meaning of key, like on a graph.
It's too convenient that there are 4 numbered sections (pending confirmation the recording we have misses a high-high-high or zero bit at the start) and there are 4 numbered sections to the key.
There was a second commander sharing audio of the 4'th section of the message, which means the message is unlikely related to the CMDR (or his/her ship). Therefore it's safe to assume the message is describing something about the system and transmitting it to Merope 5C.
So what about transmission in Pleiades Sector KC-U b3 matches the key?
? / 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

Can someone please take a UP to another system nearby, drop the UP and sit between it and Merope, then record it? Upload and share the audio so we can see if the transmission changes in each system?

The transmissions will be worked out within 24 hours, or maybe a bit longer, so i wonder what we will fidn next, can only be hopeful the Devs have more content ready for our hungry little minds
Sorry, just for the record, distance from Sol and Merope please? congrats!

Sounds like there are two active leads at the moment.
UPs around Ammonia worlds - find more worlds, see how far the distribution is.
UP signal - get in position between the UP and Merope 5c to intercept the signal.
It seems like there is no real distance limitation on the transmission, so join the two leads together.
Intercept the signal of a free floater at an ammonia world.

Amnonia world data for this system from eddb ( Pleiades Sector KC-U b3-1 8) :
I can't make any match so far with what we decoded.
| Distance To Arrival: | 223 ls |
| Surface Temperature: | 182 K |
| Earth Masses: | 1.5412 |
| Radius: | 8,518 KM |
| Gravity: | 0.86 G |
I can't make any match so far with what we decoded.
I'd also suggest that we do what the probes are doing.
They are trying to find something.
It's on or near an Ammonia world.
My theory now is that the UA and UP represent a new alien race - the 'cylons'
They are looking for what is left of the Thargoids who are in bad shape because of Mycoid.
The UAs are a cordon to detect if anything leaves the area.
The UPs are now actively searching for the right ammonia world.
I think we should try and find it before they do.

Do you have the original specto image or audio file that was taken in Pleiades Sector KC-U b3? I've love to get some clean data without interpretation so I can look for correlations
