Looking at this, There's an Orb south of the top left urn. in
Out of curiosity (can't follow all the different maps / spreadsheets here!) has anyone else got two pieces of data from the same obelisk? (At different times). I got two from Obelisk 10; first with a tablet, the second time with a tablet & relic.
Also has anyone else had their ancient items disappear from the SRV cargo bay? Was waiting to see if I could reset the obelisks, tried driving about, scanning all 4 beacons, and when I checked my hold they were gone.
My guesses are Regor, Col 70, or Eafots. There is an interesting theory about the site being a map with distances that match distances between certain systems with Sol at the center of the large circle or landing pad. With the beacons/towers/relics being moved, maybe they have a significance? Maybe ruin locations?
I thought this could happen as well, and my first spreadsheet reflects two or three obelisks putting out several pieces of data, but be careful with delayed/disappearing messages, and try to keep track of data by looking at how the payout increases with successful scans. When I compared my spreadsheet to others, and took my route into consideration I noticed that it was more likely that I had gotten delayed messages instead of two pieces per obelisk. I made a second spreadsheet by shifting the questionable pieces by one on my route, and the resulting sheet is entirely consistent with those of other commanders, differing only in some combinations used. In other words, I got only one piece of data per obelisk in solo play, except for Obelisks 3 and 7 in the original map (G19 and C38, respectively in the new numbering system).
EDIT I got Language 14/21 in Obelisk 10 using Tablet+Relic

I agree, but I think that has to do with whatever it is that's in The Formidine Rift (Which has apparently been there since the game was in Beta) - I don't think that's related to the Alien Ruins. To my mind there are 3 central "mysteries" in Elite:
1. The Unknown Artifacts / Probes / Alien Vessel interdiction / Barnacles (I suspect these are all related somehow)
2. The Ancient Ruins - I not that FD seems to avoid calling them "alien ruins" in game. I can't figure out the significance of that
3. The Formidine Rift and Salome, and whatever is there. Apparently scarier than Thargoids.
I'm moderately certain they are largely unrelated. In fact I'm fairly ure that the data being unearth at the Ancient ruins indicates that the GUardians were either wiped out by, or became the AIs they invented. Maybe the AIs are the Guardians?
Using the wrong approach you mean? Probably not hehe
The image was solved - resolution on frontpage.
Or did you mean something else perhaps?
Hah, yeah I'm all too aware of the delayed message bug now!
In the case above, the two scans were on two different days, so not the issue here. I got Language 8 from Obelisk 10 with just the Tablet. Looking at Riz's spreadsheet, that's consistent with the above, 8 and 14 are the two pieces of data people are finding there. That makes me think the easiest way might just to sit at one obelisk and repeatedly scan & relog until you get all of one type of data, then move onto another group.
Okay so the 13th one must have been missing because of lag. I had a new message when I logged back in.
So after the 13 are we done? No others to find? I cant seem to trigger any new obelisks to fire up.
Lots of people are getting the "Everyone gets it if one person scans it" symptom now too. I'm now up to 23 data pieces.
Just as a suggestion moving forward - and I know it seems to change from scan to scan, but could well be worth recording what wave type each monolith is reporting when you scan it?
