Since someone beat me to the Giorgio A. Tsoukalos "Thargoids" meme pic, I will make do with:

I seem to recall "UFO"'s in a few other space sims X series and FL had Nomads.

If i were going to introduce a slow building invasion, i would want it to start as a few reports from CMDR's who may have had a few too many for the road.
Of course this would be followed up by the probing.
And then populated areas start to become Violated.

There was an undocumented ship in the C64 version of Elite - a cougar with stealth ability.

My Missus is an Alien I will ask her what she thinks?

I had an encounter with the white pixel knight in Ceramix yesterday.

It doesn't seems to be a graphics glitch in the texture of the galaxy background or the like as it's not really stationary but moving relative to the position of your ship. Besides that it seems to be effected by lighting (brighter on the side of a light source it's facing) and also seems to scale down/up depending on your distance to it.

Maybe the procedural generation created and left some 3D fragments while it generated the universe?

Didn't read the full thread, but could it be part of the bug caused by being in the same system as a black hole?

 

[Loskene]

Maybe it's a comet.

Or maybe it's something observing humans from a distance. Either way it's pretty spoOoOoOoky.

Jeb, I swear to Kraken, you got us lost again. Let's land at that oddly polygonal space station, they can give us directions.

Yeah, or weather balloon.

Im traveling to Sagitarius A, and I had seen a lot of these things, and they were ALWAYS close to a black hole.

Dunno what it is, hope it is not a visual bug, that would be srsly dissapointing.

My bet is that it's debris from a recently destroyed ship moving at a very fast velocity. Probably destroyed by the station for some reason. I've gotten hit with random debris before, took me a while to figure out what it was.

Since you were in a fast Cobra - did you manage to get any closer to it?
In my attempt back then, I stood not the slightest chance - way way too fast of a target.

Still curious as to what kind of Object that is, haven't seen one again so far.
(surprised you saw it in SuperCruise - my observations were all in normal Space)

No, I didn't tried to go for it because I was on a mission to hunt pirates and the time was running out. I was SCing between Ceramix A and B and encountered it while flying in both directions.
