Ziljan · Jan 28, 2016

Unverified source, needs corroboration. Still 1kly out from this meetup spot. Looks creepy enough for an alien encounter spot though.

I'm already at the waypoint and landed in the same general area as this pilot. Tonight afterword if I hear things I will fly around and take a look at the planet. Will stream it if I find anything.

My work computer's speakers are terrible. Looking forward to listening when I get home.

Stay away from shadows at waypoint 5.

And don't spend the night alone there.

They mostly come at night.

Mostly.

The green color and the high g made me leave this place after a few minutes. Shouldn't have listened to music, may be I would have heard something ...

The safest place to be right now is far away from waypoint 5 otherwise known as LV-426

I'm ~1KLY out, heading in.
That's a big wall of test in that link. tl;dr
Where, exactly?
Some sort of noise?

Okay. That's creepy. I *knew* there was something about this waypoint that kept me in orbit!

Ziljan · Jan 28, 2016

Thanks Paleo! Updated the OP with both videos. Hopefully people update and post their own discoveries in their various ships.

Remember to turn off the in game music and turn up the speakers to hear the sounds.

I'm there now and I was bugging around in the, well, err, buggy when I happened to look back at the cockpit canopy of my Type 6. I swear something moved in there . . .

Creepy stuff, looking forward to reading more as this story unfolds

I'm there now and there's squeecking bleeping and wowowowo-ing.

No idea whether these are the usual ambient noises.

EddyRockSteady · Jan 28, 2016

You dudes are beginning to scare me.......

My Anaconda is about as naked as the day she rolled off the assembly line. I have ZERO weapons on board.......

Oh well, I suppose I'll have to fart in their general direction whilst beating a tactical retreat, otherwise known as attacking in a different direction!

Subliminal messages from aliens?
I think the DW explorers will need to undergo psychiatric testing on their return to gauge any possible threat to humanity.
On second thought this should be done before they go 'out there'!

It could be the space toilet malfunctioning

Maybe a space-composter to replace it..

Whatever you do Ziggy, don't leave the base camp. And especially don't go exploring that deep chasm below it.

Sit rep, while exploring the deep chasm below it I found that the noises are similar there. And I can tell you, the misty chasm makes for one moody environment. Very, very spooky.

I'll browse around here and then try a spot outside of the crater. See if it's localized.

edit: And I shouldn't forget my volume is turned way up when I look around and the sound of the menu-pop up gives me a cardiac arrest

If all goes according to plan, Insensitivity and me will arrive at about 2300h IGT tonight. (Just in case anyone wants to wait until he or she can hide behind a Python.)
