is it just me ?
looking at the video and pics ...smooth surface
looking outside .......canyons after canyons , as if the wreckage is scatterd on a glacier ?

I'm sure some of you have considered that there are in fact two wrecks at this site. The "Thargoid" octagon has some distinctly different features than the "wing" sections. What if this follows the lore that there are two races; the Thargoids and the Orreresians, which are genetically similar to each other (much like Vulcans and Romulans), but often at odds with each other. Maybe we are witnessing the aftermath of an encounter? That would explain the differences seen between the artefacts/probes and the barnacles, and how the meta alloys seem to counter-act the effects of the UA/UP.
It was fun thanks! Have we found out all we can at this point with regard to the Unknown Probe or will that likely keep us busy until 2.2's release?
Ive been up close and its not Octagonal its round. There arn't edges.
It does have smaller eyes around the main eye.
I believe its Thargoid/Human related or at least a Carbon/ammonia life form.
A guardian of the barnacles or Meta Alloys
Looks like a render issue to me. Are your drivers up to date and do you have this effect on other planets?
Its inside a glacier type trench or rift. There are many craters around the trench.
Ah.. right.. 45mins around an AW, finally getting the anomaly threat 2 to spawn, celebrating by not paying attention and hitting the fsd a second too early. Good times. I think i need a beer.
I did this when I was going to drop on Logan Kohl's low wake [ugh]
The arms/appendiges are attached to the central core. There are several other appendages scatterer around.
I think it may have 8 legs there are 2 large central legs the others appear to be smaller or they could be fragments from the larger legs.

This entire "thing" looks like a living creature. Not like a ship, or unmanned craft, but just like an space travel capable living creature. Similar to Tyranids in WH40k.
It's not 'octagonal' in the sense that it's got a more organic design this time with the new graphical possibilities but they got around not having defined edges by using an 8 fold rotational symmetry around the central axis.
Also, around the central circle which sort of looks like the underside of a mushroom, there is a definite octagon.
Additional info: I'm pretty sure there are four 'claws' or 'blades'. One is wedged into the ground right next to another lying on its side. One is pretty far away from the others. These 'claws' as I like to call them are all in one piece, other than the fact that they got ripped apart from somewhere. I believe these to be the 'landing gear' or more like 'latching onto stuff' gear.
The wing shaped parts definitely have some kind of airfoil design to them, suggesting they may aid the craft in atmospheric flight. I couldn't have a definitive count on these parts as they seem to be broken in different pieces but it seems like there are also four of these wing shapes.
The overall craft may very well look like an octagonal central body surrounded by four wings and four claws alternating.
We'll have to wait and see unfortunately. Mid October can't come soon enough!

If they are anything like the tyranids you can count me out, I'm going to beagle point! Too much scary for this commander
Well I believe its certainly got Thargoid connections but we wont be seeing these things flying around space.
I want to know what tonked it.
