"Think like a Vegan"
no animals were harmed in the making of this exhibit?
I have been kicking around this idea of how to interpret the dot-dash elements, treating them as coordinates instead of morse or binary coding.
Firstly, placing the circular graphic element into a relevant situation. The Galaxy Map, with SOL centered at the origin. Here an example of how this area (if it had a slight barrel distortion applied) rather matches the circular element:
Now, working from the Galaxy Map, it would appear that it's coordinates are coded in a (X,Z,Y) type format, rather than (X,Y,Z). So I used the Galaxy Map system for this experiment.
What happens if you use each of the four "code" elements as an (X,Z,Y) coordinate on the Galaxy Map? What shape does it draw?
So here I've laid it out, and superimposed the circular graphic over it. When viewed along the X axis, each coordinate corresponds to it's position on the circular graphic. And it forms a square plane when viewed from the X axis. But in 3 dimensions, this plane is "folded" from upper left to lower right. SOL (at 0,0,0) is behind the fold line by just a touch.
What does this mean? Perhaps nothing. Just something I thought I'd explore. Someone with more skill/knowledge than I might be able to say whether this kind of projection on the Galaxy Map touches any of the areas where UPs are being found.

oooooohhhh. It's a Barbecue.

I agree - I wasn't actually using the deblur function for the reasons you mentioned, but the package (called AstroImageJ) had operations to combine a set of input images into a single image using median / min / max / average and so on. I'm mostly interested in clearing up the "umbrella on its side" and "humanoid figure with half a hexagon for a head" bits at the bottom left of the circle. There are also some artefacts in the noisy portion between 1-1.6kHz that interest me, including a possible continuation of the umbrella on the left, and a distorted SW arc of a circle below and to the right of the binary 1.

Looks like a trendy IKEA table
Anyway I m pretty sure what we didn t do is use the ADS while the UP UA and Barney are on the ground. and that is what is suggested on the lower section/ Just whish I knew where those free floating UP are
Looks like a 1/8th of a sphere.
A planet with two suns an atmosphere and those two sticks could be moons.
Thank you kindly that was the ticket.
If audio data works like normal binary data, then in theory this is what is 'the same' in all of Zeniths recordings.
Sort of a "Recording1 & Recording2 & Recording3" type thing, where only sound data that exists in all 3 is retained.

Clarification: This was done on the audio itself not image processing.
It seems to eliminate the majority of the lower 'noise' which would suggest that the data is inconsistent between recordings. Inconsistent to my mind implies 'not reliable enough to contain data'

A BBQ which also provides WLAN to everyone.
don't make me fold it in the other direction!!!
We are clearly missing data imo..
I didn't wanted to mention it before, but it really kinda looks like Frontier them self made a tiny mistake with writing the audio file..
Since coordinates can't exceed 180 degrees I'm willing to assume step 4 should actually be the coordinates - So I just overlaid a 180 degree protractor over the existing map to get the coords.
But then I thought maybe it isn't the radius after all, maybe that is designating the point of reference for the coordinates? So I rotated it.
So you can see we have many coords to check out.

Sorry, but this will be a bit rantish. It will add nothing to the theory about the Probe image, but perhaps it can cut down a little on the speed this thread is moving.
In no particular order:
1. READ THE FIRST POST! If you haven't done that, or have followed this thread since atleast RiZ@L's initial probe reply, don't ask questions! I'll say it again; READ THE FIRST POST! ALL OF IT!
2. The UPs have been ADS honked before. For reasons unknown, it does something now (the image files you see a lot of in this thread), but the first ones discovered did nothing. So something has changed them.
3. The Convoys over Merope 5C are known! They are not new! The ones who have been checked consists of (among other ships) a Corvette transporting Meta Alloys. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be checked out further, as there may be an odd one that does not fit the profil. It does however mean; Don't ask if anyone has seen the Convoy USSs above Merope 5C!
4. The four symbols surrounding the "circle" in the Probe image are being constantly discussed. YES we know they can be interpreted as 1,2,3,4 in 3-bit Binary. And YES we know they spell represent the letters D, W, U, R if the are interpreted as morse.
5. Merope 5 C is seriously bugged atm. People are experiencing crashes, hovering Barnacles, moved/removed Barnacles, a single instance for every commander around the planet, "invisible" Faraguts, and much much more. Send a bug report if you experience something strange there, but it's not news that you crash to your desktop, or you get a capital ship warning but can't see anything. (I'll say it again, RiZ@L broke the planet! Good for him!) It is also known that cmdrs are experiencing their explorer data from Merope disappearing, needing to scan it again to see all the bodies. If you want to contribute, make sure your exploration data is empty, scan Merope, hand in the data, and make a note of what was "rediscovered."
6. The UP "ECM" affects more ships than just the one scanning it. There is video confirming it, with three commanders all being affected at the same time. Nobody knows what happens to NPCs if scanned near them, because they have a bad tendency to blow it up...atleast the Sec Forces do. Stating that it only affects the ship scanning it is proven false!
7. We only have 1 confirmed(!) UP in possession right now. That means all the "tests" you want done with a UP is likely not going to happen (or has already been tested, again READ THE FIRST PAGE!). Your request to test something will more than likely drown in this thread, so it's not very useful (debatable, as there is the odd chance that your suggestion could be something completey unthought of before. Chances are it's not though, and has been asked or tried before). If you REALLY want to test something with UP; get out there and help find more! Check out the spreadsheet on the first page of where they have been found. Bring friends, get the UP (document it!), and test your heart out...or give it to someone who will.
8. Nobody knows what the center image of the UP reply means (yet). Your theory is as valid as anyone elses. BUT explain your theory and why you think it's applicable. Don't just say "I believe it's A". It's not useful and it only adds to the noise, not the signal...and the UP reply has enough of that as it is. The opposite is also true; don't just say "I disagree" with someone elses theory. Explain WHY you don't agree. It makes people think, which (usually) is a good thing.
9. The voices in your head are real...but only for you. The rest don't hear them, and probably don't want to know what they are saying!
Anything I forgot?
Sorry about the length and tone, but reading the thread on a cellphone for the last three days has been frustrating to say the least.
TL;DR: READ THE FIRST POST IN THE THREAD!
PS: UP location spreadsheet updated with the two latest sightings I know of. The latest in Alliance space needs some corroboration as of yet, but it's added nonetheless. Any sightings I am missing, please report them with as much detail as possible. Iocastan and myself have edit rights, so a PM to one of us works, but the best is to report it here so more people see it and can use the info.

Is SOL as an origin just for the demo ? I don't think THEY would put SOL as a reference point.
Its intresting anyways, you sould look at 3D vectors
