How does one usually translate old and forgotten languages? Can we get Nathan Drake in here?
Edit: If this launguage IS some sort of human race. like the missing. or some sort of human/alien hybrid. We should be able to translate.

I could see it clearly from up to 30 kilometers but I knew where it was and what to look for... First time I got there I was less than 3 kilometers from it and couldn't find it !

I'm worried it's beginning to sound like a bug. Got 6 people in a PG instance driving around and haven't reproduced it yet. Going to nip back into Open to check there again.
Have you found some writing then?
Anyone still searching in the Col sector for the other possible sites?
Those blinking triangles look like a Game of Life to me. Also symbols on the ground. I was coding this at same time as first Elite game come out.
Old school hardcore coders never dies...

If you keep a careful eye out I think somewhere between 10km and 20km will work well. As an example take a look at these screenshots of the existing site at different altitudes.

I am. But I am mostly wandering clueless.
You can see them at 8km.
Your mind does start seeing other things at that height as well that look like straight lines but turn out to be shadows.
.
Just to note, it looks like this if you "dive into" a pillar in Open. Note the relic stays in the ground in Open and is circled by ... something, as already mentioned. Barnaba's Loop on the opposite side, though seems not to be in a straight line if you elongerate the pillar downwards.

(BTW Oh and I got stuck again, this time my SRV was turned over when I excited my Conda. Had to dismiss it to get myself turned. first was in a ravine (first when I approached the ruins the first time - video).

I'm there with my shiny courier 
It's spectral, the rocks looks like graves to me.
I'm filled with "pattern data", it's pretty obvious they'll be useful for palin and his new upcoming upgrades. They seems to be random, cant see any "order", I think the reset is only for spamming mopre data for upgrades. Tried to activate stones with my ship nose, no luck, they react only with srv.
Shooting at the tower beacon gives a relic marked as "stolen" (yeah stick it in the eyes)
EDIt: ah, no power drain for me

When I visited the site, I had a manifest scanner with me. There was nothing to target from the ship though, so nothing to scan.
Could it be those ground areas, they light up when a CMDR gets within 20m, perhaps they are linked to the obelisks too.
I am guessing you have tried this though.

Well. Look around on the ground. there are symbols that look alot like star trek alien symbols

Is there a specific allocation of items or is it random? I got 4 of almost everything in a single instance, only 1 casket though.
Damnit. Damnit. Damnit. I just got to the ruins and was blown up by another player.
I should have been in Solo play but i was hoping to see others from on here to assist

I've heard some people have been able to see something moving like clockwork under the ruins by using their debug camera. It's probably not a hint, if at all true, but it might give some insight into the extent of the installations true size.
