Theory: Not just the military will want alien probes. Some organisations will also want to obtain them: for experimentation, sale, or leverage. Such organisations will need a huge amount of resources, both in terms of weaponry and finance.
Therefore, I shall now concentrate on looking in systems under the control of a corporation. In addition, since there will be some skirmishes involved in their protection, transport and other logistics, I shall focus on signal sources suggesting high-threat weapons fire. The systems best suited to this would be anarchy.... mainly because EDDB has roughly 1481 "*corp*" wildcard systems, but only one anarchy.
... but there's only one anarchy "corporate" system: Robigo. Even though they're a corporation, the system itself is labelled as Anarchy, which I find odd. Everyone always knew that this was the most crooked corporation in the game anyway. So, I shall be hunting there. I'll also be dropping in on convoys as well.
I can also note are also these Corporate systems that are in a Civil War state (according to EDDB) and might be more likely to spawn "weapons hot" style USSes.

It might also be worth trying to find a system, maybe Corporation, that does *not* have Unknown Probe listed as a prohibited item.
On 5/6/7 Aug, I shall be searching these systems:
