At this point we really need another complete recording from a wild UP somewhere other than Pleiades Sector KC-U B3-1 8. I'd do it myself but I'm out by Jaques...
Now, this got really messy..
Interesting stuff but all of this video nonsense and trying to keep up with the forum is a bit too meta for me.
Gonna blank all this out tonight and focus on in-game stuff - get me a UP and a UA and I'm gonna have me some fun.

That is what ive been doing its the fact its every few seconds is the stupid part
I posted about it too,many know about the system.
Not that it's been posted here multiple times already or anything...where do you imagine HE got it from?

Bah. I misread the time stamps, thought the Reddit post was only a few minutes before my post and didn't see anything that recent about it in the thread.
I don't think the lower symbols are numbers. The spacing is wrong. I'm pretty convinced, given how the new UP data is related to planetary information, that the upper symbols help describe that data and the lower symbols simply say 'use this planet as your unit of measurement'.
Codec image to me possibly indicated rotational speeds ...

According to EDSM that system has coordinates -62.40625 / -133.0625 / -360.875. Your 135 & 136 are close to 133, so perhaps the last line isn't there yet.
Could you recap the method for taking the raw audio to these numbers (incl. software used)? If we gain access to a growing source of raw data it would be useful to be able to turn the handle...
The ratio of Pleiades Sector KC-U B3-1 8 rotational period to Merope 5C rotational period is 25.67, which doesn't really correspond with anything in the transmission, though.
I think you got it a bit wrong by my checking... 5883.71 should read 588.371? Just want to make sure you're not discounting anything unnecessarily.
Good idea, but apparently not: you can find rotational speed from rotational period and radius:
Unit (Merope 5 c): 1478/6.6=223.94
Site: 8518/169.4=50.28
The ratio there is: 0.225.
If the first unidentified ratio is the distance from some origin point, then a single observation gives us a 3d parabola. A second would reduce the search space to a circle, a third uniquely identifies a point.

So, my UP-mystery hiatus lasted all of what, two days? Thanks ilo!!
Good job finally locating those buggers. I now realise why we haven't found them before. I spent 56 minutes circling a known UP FF location before it spawned. The RNG is a bit harsh on the important USSs me thinks.
Anyhow, I have been following the thread and the UP Locator spreadsheet has been updated with a separate worksheet for the UP . Afaik there are only three known locations so far.
I've tried to add the relevant data, but will work on adding the information that has been decoded as well. If you want something else added to the sheet, let me know.
And please report any new locations, and I'll add those. I am currently looking at the GG with Ammonia Based Life. No luck after almost 2 hours, so I might skip it for now.
Suddenly it's fun again. Go figure

The "method," such as it was, was to listen to the recording slowed down and transcribe the sounds. The low tones were transcribed as 1, and the high tones as 0. The dolphin-chirp-like sound was transcribed as a division operator. The two short tones that introduce each three-digit component were ignored, as was the blended tone that signals the end of each three digit component. These three-digit components were then converted from binary to octal, then from octal to decimal. Then the division operations were performed.
Good doggy! Honestly how these people even got this stuff figured out to begin with is way way way beyond my capabilities, but here's hoping that once we unwrap whatever the outcome of all of this is, that we can all contribute to a safe and appropriate response.
