Ah okay, well thankfully I didn't destroy anything to get it lol
Wont bother posting a pic then haha

You might want to collect them though. There's an engineer that requires them to get access to him (the fragments, not the artifacts).

Oh definitely keeping it
My first actual "Unknown" anything tbh
Which engineer exactly?
That gaping damage looks consistent with my analysis - the Anaconda was up close and personal with the bio-ship, but it seems more likely a kamikaze kill by the bio-ship if it knew it was going to lose.
From the angle of the Anaconda, it looks like it was forced down and into the slope of the hill - due to the odd angle, it appears as if the crew tried to "break away" to prevent the crash - but were, somehow, unable to.
However, if the bio-ship had dug its claws into the hull (causing decompression of compartments - potentially sucking out any crew - if indeed there were any crew left and they were not in fact... ABDUCTED!?) it may have ditched itself, and the Anaconda, planet side. The circles in my edited image (original several posts ago - original screeny not by me) are what appear to be a mass spread of bio-matter or chips spread over a .5km distance - but this would need verifying.
Treat this site like you are watching an episode of Aircrash Investigations...
EDIT:
Couple more points:
1) I made this assumption because the Anaconda and Bio-ship both look less worn. The wrecks beside it, intentionally or not, look much older (though this could be because of thermal-type weaponry caused by bio-thermal weapons or plasma-heat rays stripping the paint?).
2) The exceedingly close proximity of both the Anaconda and the Bio-ship - both at an angular velocity you would expect from a near-impact or close-impact collision - and the same way (angle) in which they have appeared to have crashed. It would appear the Anaconda was in much better shape than the bio-ship at point of impact - the bio-ship broke upon impact where the Anaconda did not.
2a) If the above happened, then it is possible the Anaconda may have, inadvertently, crushed the bio-ship against the ground before bouncing and hitting the side of the nearby hill (though is probably inconsistent).

My picture was useful! Hooray!
Not sure if This has been spoken about already, but seeing how so Much of This mystery Is spéculation, i think I'll put my "2 cents" in
It seems to me the events leading up to this particular crash had to have happened close to the surface. With how closely everything has crashed. As we all probably know, even a slight variation in flight path while in orbit can cause a huuge amount of distance to be created when descending, the closeness of the wrecks tell me they were close to the surface. This looks to me like the alien craft could've been fleeing close to the surface when it was destroyed. Someone earlier mentioned a theory about it emitting an emp upon destruction (similar to a UP when honked). If this theory is correct it would've disabled the ships and sent them cascading in the mountain.
Now this begs another theoretical question, could humans be hunting these things down? Was it actually running before it was destroyed? There's enough fire power there, plus type 9's to carry wreckage?

The Type 9 being there to salvage wreckage is a good thought. I wondered if the Type 9 was hauling something, like UAs, and the alien ship engaged it to release to contents of its hold given how much more heavily damaged it is. And maybe the Condas were responding to a distress signal.
We could probably conjecture for days.
The beacons reference this as the Pleiades Beta site, right? Wasn't that referenced with regard to orbital testing of the UA's or UP's some time ago? That could be relevant.
Perhaps in terms of lore (not a great use of the word) this is that convoy.

I've seen that exact gash on a damaged Anaconda found in a USS debris field in the bubble. The remains of an Imperial Cutter were there too; noting to indicate an alien presence. At the risk of breaking the 4th wall, its just a damage decal.
So on with the Tin Foil hats for a possible explanation if this crash site:
The Alien ship we've seen crashed so far is a reconnaissance drone. Its job is to release UAs to probe human space. Once the UAs have all been released, its job is done and it self destructs by crashing on a planet.
In this case, a human pilot found it before it had released all of its UAs (as evidenced by seeing many at the crash site). He radios others who come to take a look. They do what we do, scan it and honk it and wonder what to do next. One of the ships, possibly working for that research installation, also informs someone back in the bubble of the alien ship and their location. But the alien ship unfortunately, is also programmed to destruct if it is discovered.
It dives toward the moon. The human observers follow, wondering where it is going, or where it might lead them. Then it blasts out a destructive EMP, knocking out the power on the human ships, and they all crash into the moon together.
Aren't these the same kind of ships that were found in the UP convoys? Maybe it was looking for whatever they carried, which happened to be the UA's at the site
We've got no other leads right now.
I just experienced an awkward moment when I realized that, for the last two days, I was one system over from the HIP 17403 site that we were searching for this whole time... checking out planets and moons and hoping to come across some sicknasty fungus to show everyone...
Maybe the explorers here can start looking for fungal life closer to the bubble now, while the decoders figure out what to do next

The UP convoys talked about having been to Alpha and heading for Beta Site for orbital testing.
The convoys that were found never had a T9 however. The UP carrier was always a Python. And they never carried any regular commodities like those at the new site.
So there definitely seems to be a link to those convoys, but there are also a few major inconsistencies here.
So my theory of them just dropping UAs and UPs on stuff for laughs may have held some truth?
So yesterday I decided to head out to the Ancient Archaeological site at Synuefe.
True story here.
On the way out I decided to "get into the SETI mood" by pulling up NASA's "Golden Record" on soundcloud. You can listen to it here: https://soundcloud.com/nasa/sets/golden-record-sounds-of
I was a little bummed because soundcloud kept spitting out errors and telling me that I didn't have an internet connection, blah, blah, blah. Whatever. I went back to just playing the game without the extra-nerdy soundtrack.
I FINALLY arrive at the site when I realize that I'm in the wrong account and don't have an SRV to drive around with. I'll have to do my recon by flying above the ruins, not driving. This is Bummer #2.
Then it happened. I started hearing very, very weird sounds. Clickings. Poppings. Otherworldy noises. I start recording with shadowplay and my excitement is growing exponentially. But then the noises fade out. I barely started recording when the noise fades! Only ... it didn't fade. It was replaced. WITH MORSE CODE! I'm hearing Morse code!
And then... a tug boat? A train whistle? What the heck? Very quickly my excitement abates. I alt-tab back to soundcloud. After 30 minutes of silence it finally decided to connect and start playing the "Sounds From Planet Earth".
Oh well, it was a groundbreaking discovery while it lasted, LOL
