Found UA in Taurus Dark Region DL-Y [C7 or C9]
Unfortunately being new to Elite (2-3 months old) I thought the system name would be on the left panel, so I made sure to include that realizing only later that the last part of the system name was cut off. Since I snapshotted my discoveries, I found that I had visited both C7 and C9. I know they're old news, but I haven't seen the system named in other spreadsheets. (Current reference is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nbAAtymsXCJib_plQtbjGPkVqlr3VuJxEE95N2n6Phs/edit#gid=0)
The Story: I got vaguely interested in the Unknown X's after watching a video. I thought that there was a line of thought not being explored: The UA's have to come from somewhere. Since the data I found online listed many points spread through populated space, and a few points around the MAIA area, I thought that this would indicate a cone of dispersal. Bookmarking every system from the data I found (which I have since lost track of) I projected where I thought the cone would converge and went there. Every jump I pulled up the galmap, re-checked, and sometimes changed my prediction, which is why it's not burned in my mind.
When I arrived at the predicted system, there was an anomaly (UA) [I'll get the screenshots in when I figure out how to use the forum].
I'm not even close to having a corrosion resistant cargo rack, and I was in a 20Ly Cobra MkIII with an underpowered (35/s max) fuel scoop at the time, so I dropped it in the next system like a hot potato once I realized how much damage it did. This report is about a month afterwards, I've been trying to get more educated on the UA, UP, and Barnacle situation before submitting and getting "oh, yeah, we been 'der" back.

Alright ill just get some people to help then.
The sneaky Alliance have a listening post out there. I think they're the cause of all the trouble....

Well, well, well. Who would profit in a war between Federation and Empire!
I'll say it again, I don't think the | - - - - | at the bottom are numbers at all. The spacing is too different to the 'numbers' at the top. I say it's an indication that a planet - i.e. Merope 5 c - is the unit of measurement being used.
I'll help Pre-Logistics by selling all my Unknown Artifacts and Probes at their stations. That should help them out
Thanks for the heads up first loads of MAs headed there already.
Alright cmdr,
Welcome to the party, here your first tinfoil *tinfoil give*
You will need it^^ on the first site of the thread is nearly all what you need to know. I wish you great fun and that you can catch up until the 28th
Anyone got the distance from Merope to Pleiades Sector KC-U b3-1 to hand? Just had an idea.
So what are the chances of this bounty hunter flying a Diamondback serial S6:7?
Second load on it's way
Alright, I don't think I have enough rep to edit my former post. Here's the UA as I found it.
I had this thought awhile back. I figured it would be a good way for the Empire to get a little bit of a "Hah, Federation churls!" since we were clearly too busy to bother winning that little spat with PRE. Sadly there do not seem to be any black markets available in any of the PRE outposts. I did notice a pirate faction on one of the stations but did not want to put in the effort to try to flip the station; these Baltah'Sine Vacuum Krill aren't going to eat themselves, after all.

30.83ly as the crow flies.
This does seem to suggest that the probes are finding worlds that thargoids could live on/populate. so does this mean that the UP can be found around any Ammonia world?
just a matter of waiting for spawn?

Good evening Commanders,
did someone notice we got some kind of UP hint Audio in the Gamescom Interview with David Braben today? Its here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQa...HKxuw8GaFsCKgXB5jPNqJhdn&index=4#t=337.202187 and the UP Visual and Soundpart is from 4:49 to 4:57. Not that there is something hiding in that Audioscrambling. Maybe someone should take a look. I´m not too familiar with these audio extractions
