Well i have been convinced theres writing in that panel for a while, but issue has been working out how to display it, and resolve the square line square symbol. (AKA voyager golden disc circle in a square)
(plenty of failed ideas to date)
My hypothesis now is that the Picture needs to be viewed from the perspective marked on the sphere - ( where the lines intersect circumferenc in bottom quadrant)
The testable hypothesis is that - when viewed from a bottom left perspective the text clears up, - what i need now, apart from standing on a chair to look at the screen is a perspective transform in photoshop or the like and hopefully can produce a pretty pic!
anyone know a free image editor with a perspective tansform function?
Why not just print it out and hold the paper at the desired angle (This is assuming you have a printer).
I might suggest clone stamp and grainulate. Just be real quiet about it
More honestly, I feel each time we chase one of these it leads to an easter egg. That or the sheer effort to find 'something' leads to us finding 'anything' since they are usually one and the same. What I suspect you're chasing is something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?annot...&feature=iv&src_vid=xEppX3lQhX4&v=dijzKMKRxCM
I'm very much in the camp of "let's not solve this", by this point, but I am looking forward to our battleships looking like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKza_DRY82U
Good marketing ^_~
yes but you wont believe me
i can convince myself all too easily
its a matter of by the time i have put the effort in - i have a bias
silly human nature!

More highly suspect "proof" that these "Unknowns" are associated with the Myrmidons and have been known for some time
I *really* want this latest theory to be proven correct, if for no other reason than to put an end to "Captain Decoder Rings" nonsense. Funny how he always insists that all of these baseless theories are 'his puzzle guys' ideas, and not his own...always nice to have a way out if (when) proven wrong huh.
Could you plot Cmdr Zulu's coordinates of his photo feature as he mentions above ( -28.1990 -157.4042 ) & repost? It might be of interest to see how it lies in relation to the barneys
thanks
i would suggest anyone who really believes there are hidden messages in the analysis should try to create a subtle maybe hidden message in an image and encoding it to audio.
you will quickly find your answer..

Ok, have readjusted for perspective,

i believe the perspective resolves the square line square symbol ( and who knew the line in the middle is a numeric 1)

Hear is the full hypothesis
Full explanation of puzzle,
There is code under the circle to decode.
The first panel in the upper left has a line drawing < with a block under it. A dot is adjacent to the block sugggesting the message is hidden within that block
the 2nd panel containg the sphere.
The sphere both represents Merope and a perspective to unlock the text.
the .|. is the first symbol you are meant to see when you decode the text.
the ((.|| symbol indicates the message is in the sound
The sphere bottom left quadrant has two lines intersecting the circumference, this is the angle which you need to view the text to see it, botytom left perspective.
the |.. and ..| indicate start and end of message
The text appears to have,
18 Aug (very faintly) open for dispute
THe words THAR
-11.15
and a time below this which i think is 15:35 or something needs more work.
THe sphere has a line from centre marking - 45 degrees, giving coordinates -45.00 and -11.15
interestingly this is the tidally locked permanent rise on merope 5c of the ringed planet Merope (i couldn't see anything else there but maybe worth a look)

Believe or don't believe is up to you, I am an amateur,
I used the downloadable high quality sound from the thread
I used audacity, spectrogram settings on max, and spectrogram highlighted for colours,
snipping tool on windows and got perspective using google sketchup. I did not edit any pics.
I'm sure there is more data there if better people than me look to find it.
Thanks for your time

It is what it is, we are still trying to understand what that is. i don't think the probe(s) can be considered hostile, but the intentions of their owners may be suspect at this stage.
If Dreadp1r4te's theory is correct (we need to run more known systems against their UP signals to fully check that, but I still don't understand the interpretation of the radial line- how does that indicate binary pairs? Or have I misunderstood?) and this is a probe that explores & reports the characteristics of remote systems, then the UA is another type of probe watching for signs of intelligence - detecting & reporting the shapes (& maybe weaknesses) of ships of space-faring species (us) & it is possible that the UA is detecting and reporting more that we haven't yet decoded.
With the UA shell suggesting that is their maximum range, then the UPs may have a similar maximum range. In both cases they are reporting that information back to Merope5C, so that is their origin and the listening post there has still to be found, as it must be cloaked somehow. I think Cmdr Zulu's photographic feature may be relevant here (though that is not yet certain, it might just be due to graphic shading). What would be instructive is to get some more UPs and do a thorough honk/EMP search across 5C's surface, starting with the large crater, then Cmdr Zulu's coordinates (-28.1990 -157.4042) and so on. It seems as though the UP's EMP may disable any cloaking.
Did we ascertain the effective range of the EMP pulse? That would dictate the number of search pulse transmissions needed to cover any given area, which in the worst case will be the whole surface of 5C, but the crater and Zulu's point above would seem to be the most promising initial search areas.
Top of the morning Commanders,
I must say that Dreadp1r4te's 'body count' theory, looks very promising. It will take several more recordings to verify and fine tune it.
If the UP is a Barnacle locator probe, it will make it easier to find free floaters. The UAs have been scanning all planets in the shell for more than a year. They may also have the capability to seed those planets that are suitable.
UPs have probably been sent out to check the result. If that is the case, they will only be found in systems with Barnacle candidate planets. For Barnacle seeding to succeed, the system must probably have some form of nebulous properties.
Why? You ask. Why are they trying to seed planet in the UA shell?
Well, I think someone are setting up 'gas stations'. I believe the Barnacles are combined mining rigs and refineries. They refine metals from the planet and antimatter from the nebula.
Antimatter is fuel. The ultimate fuel. Probably stored in the Meta-Alloy, as a form of fuel-cell(Sirius corporation and the Feds are trying to replicate this. So far they are failing).
With a maximum jump range of 150ly and no fuel scoop, you don't jump out until you know you can re-fuel. You send disposable probes.
It could well be a Thargoid stuck on M5C that got a lucky break, because a barnacle popped up next door. I don't know if they want to go home or to us.:O[alien]
It could also be the natural spreading method of the barnacles, but that doesn't quite fit with all the UAs and UPs pointing to Merope.
Where do the Barnacles come from? My guess is the Crab Nebula. It fits with direction and has a high production of antimatter. It also fits with the Crustacean theme.

Perhaps that should be reported as a bug; it does unnecessarily complicate decoding of these audio puzzles. Ambient music should be classed and controlled as an in-game sound effect
Have I missed something in the lore or science itself to suggest that nebulae produce antimatter?Well, I think someone are setting up 'gas stations'. I believe the Barnacles are combined mining rigs and refineries. They refine metals from the planet and antimatter from the nebula.
