It looks like the video is a fake. https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/55vyht/theyre_coming/d8esdc6#d8esdc6

Regarding the ruins, I would not put to much into the location in the video. FD usually make these on the internal test server, where they can place assets as they want to. Locations are usually chosen for the scenery. They don't necessarily show up in the same place on the public servers.

Absolutely! Remember the amount of time & effort that was wasted on analysing the star patterns in the 2.1 trailer to locate the barnacle & looking for misty canyons? Then we found out it was purely "cinematic" & bore no relation to any barnacle that was found. Happy days!

if it is, well so be it. Nevertheless the similarities between UA, UP and Barnacles stand, don´t they?

rizal72 · Oct 5, 2016

The video is confirmed fanmade.

However, the new patch notes are "very teasing" indeed

- Low resolution artefacts on mysterious thing's lens flare fixed

- Added schematics for various mysterious things
- Fixed the hitcheck for a mysterious thing
- Added mysterious thing schematic

CMDR Sheehy · Oct 5, 2016

Yeah, what's with all the "mysterious things" scattered throughout the logs.

There was a storyline in Doctor Who where he had erased himself from all the databanks. Then when the Cybermen came for him and recognised him they said they could recreate him from all the holes he left behind...

So... what do the holes make?

I guess the mysterious things have to do with the ruins in the 'other' video. Perhaps there are artefacts to find there as well?

Using FTL to rewatch Scooby-Doo episodes?

I can picture it now...

...after months of brutal war against a mysterious and powerful alien fleet which has torn our civilization to shreds and scattered humanity across the galaxy, the alien fleet commander is finally captured. On forcibly removing its helmet it turns out to be Mr Wilson, the owner of the old abandoned theme park planet. As he was led away in chains he was heard to say, "I'd have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling combat pilots."

Or something like that.

Haha I hadn't seen this and I love it..........Perhaps Drew should call his new book Elite: Mysterious Things

rizal72 · Oct 5, 2016

... and while we are waiting for Guardians... take a look at this very good, fan made, trailer

I guess that confirms:

- the mysterious things are either luminous or very reflective.
- they can be targeted
- they can be fired upon

So, they could be............. anything.

A colander?

Seems the UP-search pattern works for other rare/very rare stuff too.
At Ross 129 1 (the Ammonia planet with rings) if U go to an UP search-orbit (in that case outside ring 0,2-0,3 Ls) with speed 300-500 Km/s
U every 2 to 3 minutes get a High Grade Emission USS with radiological alloys, Core composites, encryted emission USS with encypted, decrypted, specialised legacy firmware, konvoi dispersal patterns with rare scans, degraded emissions with loads of containers.
Paradise for crafters

OT OFF

Right!

I did most of my figuring out using planetary USS in the bubble, and then just applied what I'd already learned to finding UPs - and then reverse-applied to find things like satellites and emissions back in the bubble again.

When they say "schematics," does that mean the mysterious thing might be something we could pick up (or gather resources from) and then take those to an Engineer and get some mysterious bits added to our ships?
