Some of the locations in the early novels are just planet names with no system name. Makes locating them almost impossible. Like Cirag. Xezaor is also significant, but again, a planet.
When your ships scans an unknown body in a system it does the exact same chittering as the UA. (I say exact I haven't checked the morse of a "player scan" or anything, it just sounds the same.)
So yeah it's certainly signalling "I'm a scanner".
Maybe it's got an Human built scanner bolted onto it or summut.

But Cirag is not Raxxla. Cirag is Cirag.
As of a week or two ago, the Voyager probes are gone - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=159562&highlight=voyager
The lore say they wanted to visit a ammonia world. The UA have been taken to such worlds nothing.
Thanks, but to save you and other commanders going through the same processes over and over, I have already added these to the wiki (gentle hint: read the first post where the wiki is linked!)
I also marked the ones I know to be [player submitted], but I may have missed some. There really hasn't been much Galnet related to the UA which wasn't player submitted once you take that into account. Which makes me think that these 'really obvious clues' they have given us, aren't that obvious at all. The only exception I can see is the Wings Trailer and there are some potentially some juicy clues in there:
- As referenced earlier: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=141038&p=2189874&viewfull=1#post2189874
- They taking the UA to Leonard Nimoy Station
- They are in California Sector HW-W C1-7 when Ishmael gets interdicted
(I'm not ignoring the morse thing, by the way, I just don't understand it and I can't hear well enough to be able to tell if its a thing or not.)
Sorry, I was involved in the original hunt until page 275 or so & have been following this thread from the beginning. I've had these tabs open for days & didn't think to look at the wiki.
That's... A booger...

Sorry, but at what time is EKURU A 1 in there? It doesn't seem to be at the end, and I'd like to listen to it, compare it with the generated sample.
I'm on my way out there to have a mooch around.

I've spent 3 hours in 109 Virginis Deep Space jumping into any SSS I can find. There have only been 10 ships in the last 24 hours, 2 of them being me.
Out of 26 SSS entered, only 3 were the "right" ones and they only carried a single ton of Hafnium 178 as well as Battle Weapons and Reactive Armour.
I passed over 100 USS and 20 WSS in the same time.
Do we know where this recent UA was recovered? I might have more luck there.

I honestly doubt this is Thargoids. As I believe Drew said..."There are far worse things out there than Thargoids". They also wouldn't need scanners or waypoint beacons - they've already had plenty of encounters with humanity, and their technology at least one level above ours.
I'm positive this is something else entirely, and I'm hoping that whoever/whatever it is turns out to be so bad that we have to ask the Thargs for help.
It's a good point actually, there's a huge assumption it's Thargoids when in fact afaik there's no actual link beyond players wondering when Thargoids will appear and this thing popping up.
I did more searching in Timocani last night & today. Lots of SSS & WSS, none that were the right type.
I'm of no help on the Morse front, but I find it believeable. Maybe the UA was taught Morse, maybe it heard the distant pings of many nav beacons as it was carried around & learned them, maybe it's FDev's audio designers having fun with us.
So I'm relegated to helping search SSS/WSS, picking through lore & formulating crazy theories.
On the topic of FDev having given us "obvious clues". The only ways I can tell we've been given clues are:
* the hints on the old forum thread
* the behavior/sounds(/design?) of the UA itself
* GalNet stories
* the Wings trailer
* (maybe) One of the official novels - I've only read Reclamation & Out Of Darkness
* (unofficial) Drew Wagar's hints - EB,P & .,.. ......,. ...
* (unofficial) Maybe something Kerrash has said
So I've got another crackpot theory for the thread. One of the only other major unexplained incidents (other than the illnesses) we haven't covered is Halsey's disappearance (https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/26-MAY-3301 & https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/27-MAY-3301). Maybe Spaceship One was carrying a UA (fits the SSS profile - one big Fed ship, several escorts) & it caused things to fail/go crazy/as secretly-planned?
Maybe we could try taking it to Azaleach? I couldn't find a reference to the system they were in while trying to jump to Azaleach within the GalNet posts. Saga is mentioned, but as a destination unreached.

THARGOIDS SHOW INTEREST IN ICE WORLDS
M.C.S
The Thargoids have requested permission to send a scientific delegation to investigate the ice world Merlin. Apparently, their researchers believe that there may be similarities between the sub-polar eco-system of Merlin and certain local ecosystems which have evolved on their ammonia-based planets.
The temperature gradients involved in each case is different but some of the core principles are similar. Arrangements are being made to accommodate the mother ship and attendants in a variation of the local space station and human scientists from the Sirocco Institute will be in attendance to help answer whatever questions the visitors may have and to provide samples from some of the less accessible sites.
The visit is planned for the winter months when the conditions are coldest and the ice is at its most stable.
Fishing will be suspended for the duration of the visit to avoid possible offence to the Visitors.
Yep one of the first things I did when I got mine and it was one of the most easy trips with it....

I've been trying to check over the galnet news storys since 1.2 came out and so far nothing but I could miss something while someone else may not....
