Does that mean we cannot trust in-ame clues because they could be an entertainment of someone FDev has allowed him to do so?
Bringing this back round, I'm out at Alpha Cygni at the moment. The system map object is still there, and I captured a quick video showing how it moves relative to the star map and the star itself when you reposition the reticule:

This is intriguing, but for the life of me I've no idea where to go with it.
Edit: Forum plugin broken? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxqo-b7_- for the link.
Edit2: I'm not sure what's going on with that link either - "Wxqo-b7_-" is the string for the video.
Edit3: Oh really, please don't tell me B and s together are being swear word filtered?
Edit4: https://tinyurl.com/y8jsv9hh - let's hope the forum allows that.

But if you jump into a system and scan all planets there should be the info in the right top corner that there is a human signal and if youre somewhere out in the black its clear youre scanning the planet so you cant miss anything or am i wrong?
Not sure if this would be any use, but last month, The Children of Raxxla posted on their Twitter page:

I think its a bug. To me looks like one of the solar prominences which sometimes form on the side of the star, just out of place.
See, I thought that too. It doesn't account for the bright 'star' like object in the centre, though.
That said, Alpha Cygni is a very large star so it could be.
Audacity is a very good tool. If you want something simpler I think SPEK was used by some during UA/UP audio analysis days.
So, here's a very interesting tidbit I found on Reddit from about two years ago:
"Joint-Tester: My dad got allied with the children of raxxla and they gave him a passenger mission to a system just between the heart and soul in eafots. The passenger said it was the raxxla staging point he was taking him too."

Exact midpoint in the galmap for H&S is -5208 | 117 | -5394, +/- a unit on the x & z axes. Closest system is EAFOTS XQ-K B36-0. Anyone heading out to H&S might want to take a look there first.

It's the Children if Raxxla staging point. I've taken the mission myself ages ago. It's just to one of the systems that the player faction set themselves as a gathering point during one of the Formadine Rift surveys. This was back when we thought there was going to be a threat coming from the the rift.
I think they might have been acting on information from Drew Wagar at the time, but I think plans for any further story points were scrapped by FD in favour of concentrating on Thargoid content.

Aww and here I thought I struck gold. Ah well, I appreciate the sanity check. Need more tinfoil.
It might be just a visual anker point for the asset.
You're not the first, and won't be the last, either
I saw that mission too, thought "Could be a trail here...", and set off to the location (without taking the passenger - I didn't want someone else on board!). When I finally got there, it turned out to be possibly the most un-interesting tourist beacon I have been to, with a line of text that doesn't say much more than "The Children of Raxxla set up a staging post here for expeditions into the Rift". Great.
Still, it got me out to see the Heart and Soul, which was worth it for the views alone!This, and the lack of further elaboration on the hyperdiction/EMP/lurking evil & heat sources theme of the Dynasty logs was what made me think that the Goids were originally supposed to come from Bovomit but for reasons unknown FD moved them to Col 70 area.

But he doesn't understand the needs of spaceship piloting, nor does the ship's cat...

I wonder if we could compile the GalNet miss-jumps?
Maybe there's a region of (witch)space which is a sort of Bermuda triangle, well pyramid, and then try jumping in/out of it to see if we can miss-jump too.
Some are probably just relating to Thargoid teases, remember when the hyperspace interdictions were just rumour, but could be something.

Antares was going from Sirius to an unknown system(possibly Antares). The wreckage was found in Luyten 205-128.
Starship 1 was going from Furuhjelm I-645 to Azaleach, when it blew up.
Jacques was going from Gliese 1269 to Beagle Point.
I don't think those locations can tell us much, but I could be wrong. Both Antares and Jacques were heading towards the core of the galaxy. Starship 1 were not.

Alright, here is my most foil-flavored post yet. But as they say, you need to know your enemy to defeat him.
Let's assume, for a moment, the viewpoint of a powerful shadow organization, that can get whatever it wants or needs through myriad agents and connections throughout humanity.
If you were in control of Raxxla, and realized its power, you would want to hide it, right?
But let's assume that Raxxla is a "celestial body". Or perhaps it is an artifact too massive or integrated to be removed from its "host planet."
How do you hide a planet?
Could you put it somewhere else? Old-school hyperspace might be able to open a gate big enough. But there's no propulsion system in existence that could actually push an entire planet through.
Could you hide it from ship computers? You could probably pull strings at Universal Cartographics and have it blacklisted, but that seems like a security risk, doesn't it? Someone at UC could defect and expose you, or hell, even an independent pilot might be able to figure out there is interference with their navigation systems.
But what if...? You gather your most trusted and knowledgeable engineers from around the galaxy. You make some... questionable modifications to FSD technology, possibly using Thargoid materials. You set up an array of frame shift drives, running harmonically, all across Raxxla. A "planetary FSD", if you will. But you're not trying to move it anywhere. That would be ridiculous, and the energy costs untenable. Instead of compressing space ahead and expanding space behind, each FSD is only concerned with compressing the space in front of it. As much as possible. Beyond safety limits... If you wrenched hard enough on the shell of space surrounding Raxxla, you might be able to tie a knot in it, or bring it together into a singularity.
TL;DR: I think Raxxla may appear to be a black hole, that somebody brave needs to point a FSD Interdictor at...
