Hehe, I was thinking the same planet/moon pair, as a possible site of another ruin.

Yeah I think I will check this out. These ruins are killing me.
Regarding the US Encounter.
Those of you that managed to get a Recording of the Encounter Before entering Frameshift and After.
How far away from the system did you manage to get.
I have just looked at my own Video and before I started Hyperspace I was 11.7LY from Electra and after I was Hyperdicted I was only 11.5LY from Electra.
It might be significant. It might not.

I think everyone is turning a deliberate blind eye to the fact that all this might just be art.
There are two sides to ED: "the Game" of trading, piracy, mining, fighting etc. which follows pretty basic mechanics. Then there's "the Easter Egg Hunt" which has mostly unfolded outside the game and been a lot of fun for everyone here.
We're all working on the assumption that the ruins are part of the latter, whereas they might be part of the former, in which case researching the glyphs will be as fruitful as wondering why there's a crashed Asp on Bode Hub, or trying to work out what's behind the entrance marked private on some Outposts.
Anyway on with the hunt.
My observation is that the Side of the Obelisk that is glowing isn't the same on all of the others. Like they are Pointing in a Direction from a Top Down Perspective.

I think we are using right now that transgalactic communications network from the Guardians. GalNet. Sometime in the past, someone found these ruins or another site, deciphered the language, reverse engineered the technology and started to sell it as its own invention. Time to take a look at GalNet origins for clues...
Those new sites also look like the TOK Listening Post sites we found around here too.

I noticed this as well. It may also be pointing to the next obelisk, such as in a game of mirrors.
Also, what I observed is that the different parts of the ruins might be different sets of an intricate puzzle, that needs to be folded into the final positions. The large 'buildings' of the ruins might be significant for that.
There is one CMDR that is making top down view images of the different parts of the ruins with the lit oblisks. This may help in solving the 'directional lights' hypothesis.
This got me thinking...
How is the 'alien ship' so expertly shutting down our ships, but not knocking out life support??
If our Galnet and all comm technology is based on theirs... maybe we inadvertently have left ourselves open for 'back-door' access. [alien]
(and also if there was ever a race of AI or we accidentally wake one up.. perhaps this will be a problem for both us and the 'aliens')
EDIT: Nevermind, this may only happen when there is a ship sitting in the background.
------- ignore the rest ---------
Why does some of the Obelisk show this symbol sometimes?
- It's the same ranking system as when you target some ships/pilots to get their status. It shows for a brief moment, less than a second.
- Only some Obelisks give me this.
- It's a bit similar to the Helpless CQC rank symbol.
It's worth noticing that with the pilot-ranking, you may only get to see it the first time you target that ship. It may not get shown on subsequent targeting of the same ship within the same session.

Have you had a Positive Result from that Obelisk Before?
If so see if the same appears on Others you have completed. Might be an Indicator
Its the Pilots Federation badge for Harmless

I've had positive on most of all the standard one's - hardly any differentiator.
You can verify whether you see that symbol on some obelisks.
Just start a fresh solo session - go around target + scan all standard 15 of them.

Yeah, I've seen that too. Can only imagine it's a bug, I can't see how a pilot rank (of any type) would fit into the puzzle.
It could be 'Obelisk / Object rank' - but I've not seen it on anything else ingame.
So the question is - bug or feature.
If it's a bug, someone must have added code for *any object* to 'show rank' + 'hide rank if not piloted'.
Which seems unlikely design - that would be very inefficient.
There is a ship behind (green lock marker). Check the same obelisk from a different angle. Obelisks can be scanned from anyside as long as you lock on them.
I'll recheck without the ship - standby.
Yeah that one area top left was causing me trouble again tonight - fine everywhere else - but very ropey up there - dissapearing message and 3 or 4 adjudication disconnects. Still it stayed fine everywhere else and I have 12 mill now - I haven't seen it answered elsewhere - what happens if you cash in - can it repeat or pick up from where you were or is it a one time thing ?
And you're right - I can only produce the issue when there a ship behind the Obelisk.
Thanks.
