New red-orange dot approaching the bubble at 0.8ly per minute-- Thargoid mothership?

Guess I missed it again. Am now in Col 69 Sector LM-U c3-1 midpoint is in 3 hours, no visual yet when looking toward Col 69 Sector KB-W c2-0.
Family nearly all in bed so this time I might just catch it!!

I waited it for a day to arrive almost, missed it when I had to go shopping (thinking it were still not there for a while).
Who cares about electricity bills?

But I guess there is a lot more of these than just 3 that are known, think I saw one another far away from known one´s when trying to rush between systems to intercept one....

So I guess there will be few that will reach core systems in next or future update, and we can finally ram them to death.

I do not think you will be ramming to death anything that's visible from half a lightyear away.
 
Anyone know how long a UIA is usually visible for in system?

UPDATE: Am in system at midpoint time (18/09/2022 00:08:00), absolutely no sign of the anomaly. Tried at GMT and at game time.

I wonder if I'll be able to watch the fireworks from 40,000 LY away. That'd be hilarious if I could. Just chill back with some popcorn and whisky and watch The Bubble go up in flames.
 
someone asked a while ago about missing stars
even though that was sort of shot down
I do want to point out that insects are very good at camouflage
we had to evolve a lot before we understood hiding, even then, we still tend to stand in front and provoke things and Not hide. macho style
most of the crashed Thargoids ships do seem to blend in nicely to their surroundings, glow aside..

one of the things that always bothered me about these sites is the size of some of the parts and that there are some parts that do not seem to belong.
today at a site making some more UR's, the light was perfect on one of these bits.
It looked exactly like a giant Ground Beetle, feeding on the only large wing left. it is the same size as 1 wing, as I get closer though I see it also , just like all the other sites is just a skeleton. but still looks like a ground beetle and NOT part of the ship.

fwiw, ground beetles eat other bugs.
and if a cicada and a mantis can grow this big, why not the ground beetle too?

So, the Thargoid ship crashed because of an infestation with space lice?
Someone tell our mad scientists, maybe they can clone the critters from leftover DNA. :)
