It's a static rendered object on a planet...like any shipwreck you might happen to come across (which is also impervious to damage - since it's a static object)?
I can tell you that on the planet it makes the same honks as usual, It can Still emp, and when i blocked It sends the transmission out that relays planet data(I however couldnt get a recording of that cause shenanigans) and either way That UP literally appeared in a minute around its Free floater spawn

Wasn't the barnacle on 5c just destroyed? Everyone seems to have assumed that it was the Feds that did it, since there's at least 4 capital ships in system at the moment.
But they're looking for an unknown ship. And we just found one. What if whoever is responsible for UAs and UPs has been looking for the barnacles. And this ship is from that species. They found it, destroyed it (leading to increased Fed presence in the area) and then this ship was downed somehow on the way home.
Still leaves a lot of questions, but it's a plausible series of events...
Outrageous, there is no "stop the tinfoil"
the tinfoil hat is part of the canonn dresscode i think

That's a total assumption!
it's an alien ship, but it may not be Thargoids. We've had hints that there will be multiple alien races in ED & this might belong to one of the others
if you take away our tinfoil, we are nothing. NOTHING, i tell you. leave us our tinfoil. lovely lovely tinfoil. my... preciooousss tinfoil *pets tinfoil*
If Frontier want to remain realism then this has to happen in the next day or two perhaps with a Imp vs Feds CG for the ship and then once complete the ship vanishes with denials it ever existed.
Just read Michael Brookes post and am suprised that they wondered if we would need all the clues, once we could narrow down the system to a handful of candidates and had a way of narrowing down where on the planet to look (the lattitude) it was obvious it would be found in short order.
They really should have just narrowed it down to Pleiades Sector in the last set of clues, the AB part was slightly too much or better yet gven us that it was the pleiades sector on Sunday and then have all the CG's pop up on Monday.
How I would have done it clue wise on Sunday
Kohl - Pleiades Sector, friend lies (dont mention star type)
Dillon - Wrong Star Type (common type) rest of information same
Granger - Same
This would have given us things to work on and some of us would still suspect Dillon)
I would then have had Kohl give us in his next clue that it was a cold moon and lattitude but leave the AB part to Granger
From what I was told the ship has been in the game for a verry long time. even before 2.1. I guess we gotta wait now
Without tinfoil it is just a static asset. With tinfoil though.. we can fill pages in this forum with just that!
Add enough mods and neither will your ship.

How does this works? who told you and how they knew?
Point taken, but the eye section is distinctly octagonal, and Thargoid ships were almost always described as such. So early evidence would seem to be in favor of.
EDIT: I stand corrected. This is what happens when I look the VERY first thing in the morning before coffee or glasses.

It does make a sound but not on the wave scanner. At certain spots it sounds like sand being blown at glass. Spectral doesn't look very special with the sound. See here: https://i.redd.it/4o4xp4uu4jix.png
Tinfoil at full impulse...
You could fit a Barnacle in the top round thing.

quite - there's no circle being squared here - only more questions. what was this ship doing here? how long has it been there? where are the pilots, or was it autonomous (either 'alive' or remote-controlled)? What caused it to crash? Are these all parts of the same thing?
Who and when will someone come looking for it!?
Perhaps you can get the UA scan to show you what it looked like prior to crashing?
