given that most peoples audio equipment (headphones, speakers etc) would not be able to reliably produce sounds outside of the human hearing range across all the various games host systems then I find it very unlikely that they would use an inaudible audo file because it would defeat the purpose of it not actually being detectable and listenable...

Record in game sound with a capture device or program, feed the audio through some sort of program/device to see if there any frequencies there?
You can play music through an oscilloscope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iERih_7ZvP0

What's stopping you from playing a recording to see if there is any reaction on screen?


Who even records by putting their microphone next to a speaker nowadays anyway?
There are plenty of ways to record audio you can't hear and be able to visualise it.


I'm not an electrical engineer but I know things like this can be done.

In the movie (and book) "contact", the alien signal was hidden within a received signal from space. The story was also written by Carl Sagan who has huge kudos within the astronomical field. So, the message may be hidden within the sound that has been captured?

Well I'm convinced. I'm going to take my combat Python out into the black to find some artefacts. I'm not going to let three Anacondas run ME off before I have a chance to scoop them up.

I dont think these are anything to do with the Thargoids, since we know they havent been implemented yet.

I think its just valuable loot, added at the same time they added Painite, the source could well be the convoys mentioned earlier.

It did remind me of this post though :

Probably a bit much to ask for in 1.3 though.
Or is it!?

The source is top secret, but they can be found and are quite valuable.

Note that most lossy audio compression systems will drop frequencies outside human hearing - so unless Elite stores things losslessly internally (probably unlikely?), they'd have to have gone to substantial special effort with new code to handle sounds outside human hearing. (rather than just adding an object to the game that has a specific sound, like other objects in the game)

Seems unlikely.

In that Movie, the alien "message", was the first TV transmission on earth (Hitler speaking to the nation), that reached Vega, and was sent back to us, encoded to decode: 25ly to arrive there, 25ly to come back, so exactly 50 years later. What a Beautiful movie...

I understand but it's worth a try. It's better than half the guesses people are making.

It was a while ago and I can't remember where it was, but a mod might help with that.

The devs said that upon release the Thargoids would be there but restricted to encounters only.

They've never stated that they didn't implement them in the end....

Who knows.

That sounds like a rumour, Im 99% sure they stated that they have not been added yet.

OK As Michael pointed out there have been several "Nods" to different books in this thread, my Idea does come from a Book (An official FD Approved book) In which there are some direct mentions of certain star systems and relics/artifacts etc directly related to the discovery/source of the Thargoids. The reason I posted the hints here is I was Several Thousand LY's away from the key one mentioned. All of the clues I gave point to the book and the story line.

Yes. Let do not make it too overcomplicated: Do not forget we all did the same mistakes with the Titan Black, and in the end it was just a random system, remember? In this case Michael told us just to "listen". So the solution must be that simple: find it and listen.
In my opinion, there will be a kind of Alien voice talking, or something very similar to the Alien Movie signal, that nobody will be able to "translate". A kind of teaser for things to come soon. A Creepy one, i must say...
Creepy Alien voices in the dark, from a canister floating in the middle of nowhere... if that's not creepy...
