I posted some full length (13 min) sequences a few pages ago, stitched up and blocked out to make the blocking stand out.

I'm not sure how to include images inline, otherwise I would do

So i am just to look for visual evidence of some ground based anomaly? Also, is there something broken with the scanner? I show high range indicated on my radar, but when i drive towards it, the signals disappear. I was driving at a heading of 270 or so and moving towards what should have been a POI, and the signal disappeared and reappeared behind me at heading 30 or 40. I drive towards 30 or 40 and it disappears again!!!    ?

most likely a metallic geode

I've seen it, and I've put it on the front page immediately after, under the spoiler ;)
 
If I can get a longer sample I should be able to section up start to finish the 'words'

You're a star - but I cannot get my head round the sequences, it's crazy - there appears to be no (initial) system here - it's going to take some figuring out. Good luck CMDR!

Will 12 UAs be enough to push Wright City over the limit? Probably not:
If I understand the mechanics and different states correctly, it being on that last part of the list (ie. brink of closure) means it is already over the limit and will close down soonTM if MAs aren't brought in numbers to the station. So, unless someone is still working on repairing the station, it is a matter of time before it closes.
 
Alright CMDRS,

as promised I took a shot at the recordings from yesterdays night.
I am no scientist, codebreaker or whatsoever, just a gamer ;)
I recorded 56mins of the signal and did several tests.
The recording was limited due to my SRV exploding (marked it in the signal), as I was tabbed out of the game and didn't notice it.
I took some further recordings later to determin the signals origin.
But read for yourself:


Eric, what are you talking about?
A quick key to start with, so we are on the same page.

Obelisk status:

I noticed 2 different states for obelisks in the recording (deliberate testing):

1. Standby
- SRV is in range
- obelisks starts to light up,
- display is still off
- steady monoton noise starts

2. Active
- SRV is right in front
- obelisks is still shining
- display is on
- pulsing noise, almost like old mechanical computers starts

3. logic dictates that here is probably a 3rd state, -Offline-, but i didn't record this

You can see the 2 states here.
Notice the "carrier wave" (marked red) in both states and the pitch of frequencies.

Patterns:

1. It seems that the signal is devided in groups of signals. Every group devided by the marker.
2. I was not able to spot a reacurring group patterns.
3. The signals components itself (lines, blocks, markers) are identical throughout the recording
4. The "carrier wave" seems to be constant as well (see below)
5. Signal components do not overlay.
6. Pauses behind a marker seem not to be consistent. (ranging from secs to mins)

I made a gif to make it more visible.
Focus on the far right, the "marker" (as it seems to close every signal group) does not change, as well as the "carrier wave".

Conclusion:

1. The signal originates from Obelisks in active state.
2. The signal is probably not a sound artefact. There are too many indicators showing that it was deliberatly put there. (a carrier wave, identical components, components do not overlay)
3. The message, if there is any, is long! I caught 56mins and the patterns did not repeat. You will see there are many pauses between groups, up to 2-3mins.


Attachments:

Below you will find my converted 56min recording.
It was taken here while using the debug cam to get as near as possible:

As well as pictures of the spectrogram if you are not in the mood to open them yourself :D

DROPBOX WITH ALL THE STUFF



Personal Notes:

This is as far as I could come with my limited capabilities here.
I remind you: I only have a mobile connection with limited bandwith and transfer.
I will not upload any more audio! (I just can't as I'm just about to hit the limit).

There is further testing needed and if there is anything behind this then I would kindly ask other CMDRs to take some recordings and upload them.
If you can dismiss this signal/theory, then please do so and save us all alot of time.

@FD/ Michael: Please have mercy and tell us, if this is not intended so we won't follow any wrong leads

In any case I am thankfull for your time and attention.
Good luck and Fly safe CMDR!

Ahh good stuff ! cheers :)

Not sure if important, but in case anyone wants to get me ingame for any reason my ingame name CMDR Rafe Zetter - I noticed it's CMDR AlienBaby in the spoiler post :)

. . . . . .

If the patterns do not repeat after 56 minutes, I would conclude that its 1 of three things:
1 - A red herring
2 - A broadcast of a speech (albeit a very long one)
3 - A number of great significance. I would guess at Pi.

It is most likely a dead lead though.

may be about to throw a spanner in the works but comparing your signal to mine, the patterns don't match at all, nor do either seem to repeat as far as i can tell.
 
Excellent work Ericlas! But this scares me:

The message, if there is any, is long! I caught 56mins and the patterns did not repeat.

56 minutes and it didn't repeat???? !!!!! :S

Wow, does this thing recite the Gettysburg Address? Maybe it gives a history of the ruins? Very curious, but very daunting as well, it's gonna take quite an effort to get anything out of these I'm afraid.

I wouldn't say that. There is certainly something hidden in the obelisk sounds, the patterns are unmistakably placed there on purpose.

This sort of reminds me of the patterns you get when listening to the antennas on outposts, and that long antenna inside on the back wall of a station. There are clear patterns there when putting them into a spectrogram, but there is no information there. This looks very similar; very distinct sounds, but when analysed doesn't give anything useful.
If there was any information in the broadcast you would have to have a clear start and a clear end, and then a repetition. If you don't have those, there is no information there, but pure gibberish. I must say however, that I find it peculiar that there is no repetition in 56 minutes! That means it's programmed to be completely random, and that must be on purpose. All other sound signals I have seen in game repeats itself, even the antenna sounds described above.
So, I would work more with the signal, but if it again comes out with no repetition, then it is a bust imho. There is no way to get any information from something that plays indefinetely and is completely random.

I like pi :)
 
Errr, haven't been in here for a while but I can longer find a post (on either the 1st or 2nd pages of this thread) describing the latest news concerning the SYNUEFE XR-H D11-102 site, nonograms, etc, etc.

Edit: OK ignore that - it's back again. I must have imagined it.

Yeah the length of the audio is very telling. If the obelisks just made noise for the sake of ”atmosphere” then the devs wouldn’t use a sound file that was 56+ minutes long for that, it would be a shorter repeating sound file. From a developer’s game asset point of view you want to use smaller, low memory assets wherever you can get away with it. So this long audio must be on purpose and intentional, which means it most likely contains something important for us to discover.

It could be randomized I guess, but that would be odd to program it like that just for fun and games. I’m sure Frontier has better things to do with their time than to code in fake puzzles and clues like that!


Hopefully? :S
