Creepy Thargoid!

I had an interesting experience tonight.

I got pulled out of a jump my a thargoid who stalked me for ages. No scan, no communication, no dancing. Nothing. All it did was follow me around until I bumped into it, THEN it got angry lol

Shame you cant see any pilot in that cockpit ( assumeing thats what it is ) I hoped we would get to see Thargoid pilots in there. No idea what we can see looks very organic tho still think they look good :)
 
Yah, I got followed at full speed when hyperdicted.

It was flying sideways keeping up with me, I could see it moving slightly faster than me in my left panel view... out of cockpit

It was just looking at me

I suspect the Thargoid vessel _is_ the Thargoid, an alien-creature-spacecraft.
 
Wait... That sound! You didn't edit the audio in this, did you? It doesn't sound like you did, it's got stereo panning and all...

This is strange. So strange that I decided to finally register on the forums to comment, after lurking in the research threads for months. You hear that sound that it makes in the video? Sort of a rhythmic... I don't know, beeping sound, for lack of a better word? All of the canned pre-2.4 interdictions had that sound playing while the Thargoid ship was in view. The Retaliation cinematic trailer had it when the ship was flying by at the beginning. I could never tell if it was supposed to be a sound the ship itself made or if it was a really unsettling sort of leitmotif... But I did notice that none of the Thargoid sightings I've seen from 2.4, including the handful I've conducted on my own, have had that sound.

Except this one.

What is different? Why is it different? Is it music? Is it supposed to be playing in all of them but every person that's recorded a video so far has had music turned off? I don't think I had music turned off... And if it is music, why would it sound like it's coming from the direction of the ship...? Am I overthinking this? Someone tell me I'm overthinking this!
 
Maybe you encountered a 'sick' or 'malfunctioning' unit.

Or maybe this one belongs to some 'No war with the oomans!' faction and wants to communicate.

Good points there!

No I didn't mess with the audio at all, apart from fading it in and out at the start and end of the video. I also noticed the kind of squished bleep thing going on too, and now that you mention it, I don't hear it when I'm watching a Thargoid suck life pods or any of the other things they do. I also have the in-game music turned off, so it was definitely something to do with the Thargoid ship
 
Update: After looking at my clips again, that squished bleeping seems to stop once I bumped into him and making him angry. Perhaps that bleeping is the Thargoid equivalent of 'yellow alert' - Yes I love Star Trek. .... and yes my ship is the USS Defiant :D
