Has anyone ever tried flipping the Thargoid map and superimposing it onto the Milky Way map?
Looking at a version that Maclore52 took from above (

), and the Milky Way map available at EDSM, it almost looks as though the highlighted spiral arms of the Thargoid map should line up with the spaces between the Galaxy arms pretty well once the Thargoid map is flipped and superimposed over our galaxy.
Not sure if this has been mentioned but there is a thing in the First Encounters gazettes have something called the Octa-wave theory (of Thargoid migration):
MATHEMATICAL PROOF CLAIMED FOR 'OCTA-WAVE' THEORY
S.L.A.M
One popular theory proposed to account for the sudden appearance and equally sudden disappearance of the Thargoids received - in the eyes of its supporters at least - a renewed boost recently with the publication of a mathematical model purporting to confirm the predictions made by the theory.
The 'octa-wave' theory, like many others, begins from the observation that no Thargoid home planet has been discovered, and proposes that the Thargoids are a migratory species making their home in deep space. The model claims to support the central idea of the theory, namely that the Thargoid vessels encountered in human space were merely one vertex of a vast octagonal array of migrating ships slowly rotating its way through our galaxy.
According to the theory, it is possible that other parts of the migration may in their turn pass through human space, with, no doubt, dire consequences. Professor Ghesrabeen's analysis seems compelling, but other scientists remain unconvinced.
"If I postulated as many missing data points as he does, and applied half as much computer time, I could give you convincing proof that the Thargoids were writing out the lyrics to Jjagged Bbanner's 'Zirconium Stardrive' in letters six parsecs tall." said one.
