}}
As far as current tests and analysis show, it appears that the UA does a sort of sonar scan of the closest celestial object or station and then sends out (chittering) sounds which are a highly distorted morse code which represents that body.
{{Quote|These strange objects are of Thargoid origin. They have the ability to repair themselves by extracting non-organic material from their immediate environment, and this self-repair mechanism can severely damage starships and other machinery.

==UA Features==
'''Thargoid Sensors''', originally known as '''Unknown Artefacts''' or '''UAs''', are devices of unknown purpose created by the [[Thargoids]] and found at numerous sites across the galaxy. They can appear on the surface of any planet where any other planet has an ammonia atmospheres present, most commonly an Ammonia Gas Giant. Originally, they were concrentrated in the [[Pleiades Nebula]].  
The '''Unknown Artefacts''' ('''UA''') have been reported to look like a form of sentient life, far beyond what we humans are capable of creating. It is still unknown what the UA is meant for, some people are speculating that this is the work of [[Thargoids]], and there have been lots of other theories. To date, none of these theories have been proven, it is 'exceedingly rare' and only a few pilots have been able to see one themselves, making it extremely challenging to carry out tests and theories.
However, the following aspects have been tested and are known:[[File:Elite Dangerous UA Features|thumb|right|335 px]]
*From a distance away it makes a loud whale like sound with some muttering and can be spotted by some sparkling and some purple/green gas-like colours.
*It seems to be made of three parts, the head (it looks like a giant egg with an place at the top where it seems like it can open up but some parts glow when the whale noise happens), the stork or spine (it seems to have four parts to it and lights up too to the whale noise), the pods or capsules (there are twelve of these).
*When close to it you can clearly see it giving off a distortion field of some kind which has sparks appearing and disappearing in it with a gas in the entire area, either green or purple. However in the debug camera you can get close enough to the point where the field isn't in the way and you can get a clear view of the UA.
*You can hear the sounds it gives off best when closest. You can hear a whale noise, followed by chittering and purring. The chittering has been found to be a garbled morse code, tapping out the name of the closest celestial body or station. The purpose, if there is one, of the other noises are yet to be determined.
*While inside your ship's cargo hold the UA acts like [[Toxic Waste]] by doing corrosion damage to ALL your ship modules.
*They are illegal salvage, so if you have it in your ship and a NPC System Authority scans you, you get a fine of 55,000cr. If stolen, your fine jumps to at least 161,000cr.
*They can be sold for up to 250k cr, though 180-220k cr is an average figure.
*The UA 'Spores' or 'glitter' don't appear to do any damage
* Occasionally they 'explode' sending a cloud of particulates out around them. Extremely slowed down video reveals a strange graphical glitch when this happens (or a tear in the space time continuum)
* Having a refinery fitted with a UA in the hold does nothing
* No new missions or contacts appear with one in the hold
* They are quite delicate and behave similarly to normal canisters in some ways
** They degrade over time in space (while ejected) and have a life of about 5 minutes max outside the ship, but reset to 100% health when back inside the cargo hold.
** Like toxic waste, they degrade ship's modules over time randomly while in the hold
== Finding them ==
These Unknown Artefacts can be found in [[System Signal Sources|Strong Signal Sources]]. Timocani and 109 Virginis are the only two systems ''confirmed'' to spawn them, but [[Michael Brookes]] has stated that they are 'exceedingly rare' and that they are only available in certain regions of the galaxy, which would suggest that they are in other systems too. Since v1.3 very few UA discoveries have been reported. 


CMDR Wishblend, one of the original UA finders, gives this advice:
The first of these objects was discovered by independent pilots on May 4, 3301, although it is believed that the [[Federation]] was already researching them by then. When [[Starport]]s began going offline due to technical problems caused by Unknown Artefacts sold on local black markets, a phenomenon first reported in the [[Warkushanui]] system, it became a [[#UA Bombing|popular practice]] among outlaw pilots to sell the objects with the express aim of shutting certain Starports down. On June 26, 3303, it was discovered that the objects could be used to open doors in [[Thargoid Surface Site]]s, directly linking them to the [[Thargoids]] for the first time. On [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons#The Return - v2.4|September 26, 3303]], Unknown Artefacts were formally reclassified as Thargoid Sensors.

{{Quote|In 109 VIRGINIS, jump in at the big white A class star, go out (away from the star) around 100ls until the locater in the bottom left hand side of your screen says 'Deep Space'.


Put supercruise speed to minimum and wait for the 'SSS' (Strong Signal Sources) to appear. Some will be ambushes, others nothing that good, so be prepared to run or fight.
== Description ==
[[File:Thargoid Sensor 001.png|thumb|250px|Thargoid Sensor close-up]]
Thargoid Sensors are approximately two metres long, with a "head" resting atop a segmented stalk supporting three columns of canister-like objects. They emit constant noises that can be heard in close proximity. If shot with weapons or rammed, the Sensor will break up into a number of [[Materials]] called [[Sensor Fragment]]s. A Thargoid Sensor will inflict constant corrosive damage to random ship modules, similar to [[Toxic Waste]], unless transported in a [[Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack]]. If a Sensor is ejected from a cargo hold, it will degrade over time and disintegrate in about six minutes; the degradation can be halted and reversed by returning it to a cargo hold. Note that if a [[Thargoid Interceptor]] detects a ship is carrying a Thargoid Sensor, it will immediately become hostile.[[File:Professor-Palin-and-Unknown-Artefact.png|thumb|250px|Professor Ishmael Palin and a Thargoid Sensor]]It appears that the Thargoid Sensor performs some kind of scan of the closest celestial object or station and then emits a highly distorted [[Wikipedia:Morse code|Morse code]] which represents that body.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/ua-mystery-thread-3-the-canonn.175726/#post-2701750 Frontier Forums: UA Mystery Thread 3: The Canonn, post #3]</ref><ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/ua-mystery-thread-3-the-canonn.175726/page-5#post-2702300 Frontier Forums: UA Mystery Thread 3: The Canonn, post #83]</ref> A Sensor will also scan all ships within 1 kilometre, and point and align itself with Merope, a star system in the [[Pleiades Nebula]]. Recordings and decoding of Sensor data also show that it produces a basic line drawing of the ship it scans.


What you are looking for is one Type 9 Transport being escorted by a few anacondas. Sometimes there are two, sometimes four and sometimes there are other ships as well. The main tell is this: if you have a Type 9 being escorted by Anacondas, check the local chat window. If it is correct then the Type 9 and the Anacondas will be talking to each other about systems malfunctioning.|CMDR Wishblend}}
== Locations ==
There are at least two known Strong Signal Source instances that contain UA's.
[[File:Ua-convoyA.jpg|thumb|220x220px|This is the first kind of UA carrying convoy. The Type-9 will eventually jump out of the system]]
[[File:Ua-convoyB.jpg|thumb|220x220px|This is the second version of the UA carrying convoy. This one will hang around and conveniently drop the UA off for you to pick up]]
Thargoid Sensors were originally rare,<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/soontill-relics-the-regor-permit-sector-and-dbs-cryptic-hints.141038/page-53#post-2179457 Frontier Forums: Soontill Relics, the Regor Permit Sector and DB's cryptic hints...., post #1,053]</ref> but have become common in systems with Ammonia Gas Giants. Any landable planet can have a sensor which will be noted by a [[Nonhuman Signature]]. They can also be found in a 150 ly radius of [[Merope]] at [[Non-Human Signal Source]]s or [[Crashed Thargoid Ship]]s. A Threat Level 4 Non-Human Signal Source will usually contain a single Thargoid Sensor, though if a [[Thargoid Interceptor]] is present it will become hostile if the Sensor is retrieved. Alien Crash Sites sometimes contain salvageable Thargoid Sensors found near the wreckage. They can also be found at certain [[Shipwreck]]s, such as the crashed [[Anaconda]] on LTT 1935 6 a. Outside of the zone centered on the [[Pleiades Nebula]], they may also be found in other regions known for Thargoid activity, such as the [[Witch Head Nebula]] and [[Coalsack Nebula]], and on planets at [[Nonhuman Signature]]s.


The first kind is made up of numerous ships and includes a Vulture, two Anacondas, the Type-9 and other ships. If you get this one, bear in mind that the Type-9 will probably charge its FSD and jump out of the system on its own. You can either choose to follow it (using a wake scanner) or attack it.
Sensors can also be obtained from Threat Level 4 Military Convoys, where they are being transported by a [[Type-9 Heavy]] and can be stolen using [[Limpet Controller/Hatch Breaker|Hatch Breakers]]. There are two convoy configurations: the first includes the Type-9, a [[Vulture]], two [[Anaconda]]s, and assorted other ships, and the second includes the Type-9 with an escort of four Anacondas. The Type-9 will usually charge its [[Frame Shift Drive]] and jump to another system to escape, so it is recommended to attack in a [[Wing]], with one member focusing on the Type-9 while the others distract the escorts.
[[File:Ua-convoyA.jpg|thumb|220x220px|This is the first kind of AU carrying convoy. The Type-9 will eventually jump out of the system]]
The second is made up of four anacondas and the Type-9. This convoy will stop in space and the Anacondas will do a dance around the Type-9. It may be the case that the Type-9 is not a part of the Anaconda wing. It has been reported as the one where the Unknown Artefact will eat its way out of the Type-9's cargo hold without you firing a shot, but this has yet to be corroborated by other commanders.


Systems where they have been found or spotted
Crashed Sensor Probes can also be found on landable bodies with materials beside them all across the galaxy. They are great for Sensor fragment farming. The system must have an Ammonia Gas Giant, or sometimes other worlds with an ammonia presence, for sensors to appear. It is not a sign of any Thargoid presence in the system or nearby. Their location will show up as a Nonhuman Signature after a surface scan of a candidate body. Example locations to usually find them are Juenae RX-L c10-8193 and Pleiades Sector FG-Y d32.

* 109 Virginis (confirmed)

== The mystery of the Unknown Artefact ==
== UA Bombing ==
There is apparently some kind of mystery to be solved around these items, and certain people close to Frontier Developments have said that there are clues in the game, but nobody has spotted them yet. They even went as far to say that they are so obvious that to give any more clues would make it too easy. Despite this, no one has solved the mystery to date. During the period after the first find, some commanders created GalNet content related to the UA which was published, and these are included below but marked with ''[player submitted]''.
"UA Bombing" was the colloquial term for the practice of selling Thargoid Sensors en masse at a specific station with a black market, with the goal of shutting that station down using the Sensors' technology-disrupting properties. Stations that were shut down could still be docked with, but had most services disabled, similar to a Lockdown state. While the effects of UA Bombing were not permanent and would reverse over time even without intervention, the suspension of vital station services for several weeks could be an inconvenience.


===Timeline of possible clues===
UA Bombing required a significant quantity of Thargoid Sensors, up to 100, though the number varied. The Sensors had to all be sold at the same station within the same week for the UA Bombing to be successful. Once enough Sensors were sold, the station would experience "technical issues" and be "on the brink of closure". At that time, selling thousands of units of [[Meta-Alloys]] at that station before the next weekly server downtime period could counteract the Sensors and prevent the shutdown entirely. If no action was taken, then after the weekly server downtime the station was forced to shutdown. If this occurred, the station would automatically begin repairing itself, but the process took several weeks on its own. Meta-Alloys could be sold there to increase the pace of repairs and shorten the shutdown period.
'''10 February''': Soontill Alien Artefacts are mentioned in GalNet.<ref>https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/10-FEB-3301</ref> Subsequently confirmed by FD that these Artefacts are not Unknown Artefacts.


'''10 March''': v1.2 is released. Includes "- Adding valuable salvage convoys to three permitted systems: LFT 509, Isinor, Witch's Reach"
On November 29, 3304, [[Aegis]] announced a breakthrough in Meta-Alloy research that allowed extremely small quantities of Meta-Alloys to provide sufficient protection against Thargoid Sensor-related interference, and arranged for shipments of Meta-Alloys to be distributed to affected stations. This effectively marked the end of UA Bombing, as Thargoid Sensors ceased to cause technological damage to stations, and the sale of Thargoid commodities in general was legalized.<ref name="TSDN">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5bffdc5e33cee07033255f0a GalNet: Thargoid-Sensor Disruption Neutralised]</ref><ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/removal-of-ua-bombing.461658/ Frontier Forums: Removal of 'UA Bombing']</ref>

* The Sound (When MB said "Have you listened to them", this was taken as a most significant clue')
** The UAs do indeed make an unusual sound. It appears to be made up of three main elements: The Honk (sounds like a whale noise), The Chitter (recently discovered <ref name=":1" /> to be a garbled morse code of the closest celestial body or station) and The Purr (When sped up x3 sounds like a trombone).
** The UAs do sound very similar to the in-ship basic discovery scanner, along with some other strange noises that could be similar to galactic noises heard in the galactic map or in space.
** The sound changed noticeably from v1.2 to v1.3. Similar but different. Tests ongoing.
* Advanced Scanner device
** The sounds the UA makes are very similar to those made by the basic discovery scanner, and it has been recently proven <ref name=":2" /> that the UA produces a 'stylised Morse code' of the name of the closest celestial body during the 'chittering' section of the sound. The purpose of the whale noise and the purrs are yet to be determined.
** The sounds the UA makes have also been compared to the sounds planetary bodies make in the system map <ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=144782</ref>
* The Colour Pulse Theory
** The UA pulses purple and green, apparently randomly. There is a new theory that the green pulses increase in number the closer it is to its origin (or destination). <ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=162998&p=2510274&viewfull=1#post2510274</ref>
* Price Triangulation Theory
** This theory proposes that, with regular rare goods, the selling price for the UA should reduce the closer it gets to its origin. <ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=142906</ref>


* The Formidine Rift
'''16 October:''' Technical Trouble in the Warkushanui System.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5620c2b49657bafa242a1853 GalNet: Technical Trouble in the Warkushanui System]</ref>
** In Drew Wagar's book "[[Elite: Reclamation]]"<ref>https://fantasticbooksstore.com/store/paperback/elite-reclamation-pb/</ref> one of the characters mentions a hard-to-reach place in the galaxy called the Formidine Rift, where there is something 'worse than the Thargoids'. In true sci-fi thriller/horror tradition, dozens of players immediately went in search of what that might be.<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=135529</ref> Drew was quite active in the forum thread and a connection was suggested that this might have something to do with the UA mystery, but any connection still remains unproven.
* Thargoids
** Many people think that the UA is of Thargoid origin. The only evidence for this is that it looks quite alien.
** There is a theory that it is some form of Thargoid revenge for the Mycoid Virus,<ref>http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/INRA</ref> sent to kill all the humans. Suggestions were made of links to the He Bo virus outbreak.<ref name=":0" />
** There was a suggestion that it was a Thargoid Escape Pod.
** There was an idea that it looks like an egg/seeding pod, the beginning of a invasion.
* A tiny space station
** A recent poster <ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=162998&p=2519619&viewfull=1#post2519619</ref> suggested that it might be a miniature space station and the little flecks of light are its tiny ships. Further speculation included ejecting gold nearby to tempt the Leprechauns out of hiding, suggesting an Irish origin. These theories have yet to be disproven.


=== Theories Disproved===

* A Special System Permit
** There are systems in game which require an 'unknown permit'. So far, no access has been granted to anyone carrying a UA in their hold to one of these systems.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLomc-hLtq4</ref>
* Advanced Frameshift Drive
** There is lore involving a Thargoid Hyperspace Drive and some suspect that it might be one of these. There hasn't been any evidence that it can be fitted to a ship in the normal way.
* A Compass
** The theory that the UA points either where it came from or where it wants to go has been disproven. When ejected they point in no particular direction
=== Tests done ===
* Audio recordings have (mostly) been done in '[[Debug Camera|debug camera]]' mode, so as to eliminate ship sounds and with systems disabled (including life support)
* Tests are usually performed with two pilots present.
* Tests are done in normal space.
* Tests with the UA next to other items are tested both in normal space and in cargo holds.
* Location tests are done both in the cargo hold and in normal space if possible.
* In the case of Polaris, having a UA in your hold will not allow you to make the jump in-system.
* They have been allowed to 'expire' in space
* They have been ejected inside a station
* They have been ejected into an outpost (accidentally)
* They have been ejected during supercruise (accidentally)
* They do not degrade the ship while docked
* UA and ship have been at overheating temperatures and freezing temperatures.
* Tried to see if they can be put in a module slot in Outfitting. They can't.
* Replaced a nav beacon with a UA, nothing happened.
* Tried flashing ship lights along with the UA's light. Nothing happened.
* Tried communicating with the UA over local chat comms. Nothing happened.
* Test with the UA next to hafnium, painite and SAP 8 core container
* Tests with the UA next to 12 SAP 8 core container
* Tried to go into witchspace through the orginal Elite way (pitch and roll at maximum)
* Tests with the UA being in the darkness of a planet
* Checked for bulletin board missions relating to it at many stations and outposts including Leonard Nimoy several times over
* Ship carrying the UA has been interdicted several times
* UA has been taken to many systems and has found to produce morse code of the nearest celestial object (stations and outposts have never been picked up)
* Two UA's in one ship has done nothing except made the corrosion damage done to the cargo hatch double, it was attempted to get 3 into the ship but could not get the two ships into the right instance to hand over a UA

== Who has a UA?==

Currently it appears that two people have a UA, CMDR Ratking15 & CMDR Branch. The UA has been found as early as the 1.2.06 patch and as recently as the 1.3.06 patch.


Ratking15 have streamed several times the UA on his twitch stream before attempting to upload them to Youtube, you can find his highlights of the streams (which are all of the stream mostly) on his channel with sound which is at:http://www.twitch.tv/ratking15 (it should be noted though that he does stream other games)

Branch does not have a (working) Twitch stream, but recordings & posts videos on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQMpRt0w9mfUbS0oyLOy87w).

==Who had a UA?==


Various commanders had originally acquired UA-s during the first "rush", but those have been lost to various accidents since. Of them, commanders Digitalscream, Glyn-ie, Marx, Murp have posted recordings of the UA's audio: see the list of their files [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=142912&p=2193391&viewfull=1#post2193391 here].

Like Ratking15, Wishblend also has streamed several times with UA tests as well as casual gameplay though more often than Ratking15 who would rather not risk losing his UA when it might still be required.

However tragically during a trip to a testing zone Wishblend accidentally lost her UA......however her streams of the UA are still up and might be helpful for those who are looking for experience. Also Wishblend's streams are usually just in-game sounds as she prefers this, you can find her previous streams and highlights here: http://www.twitch.tv/wishblend/profile
