Since then multiple other barnacles have been discovered in nearby systems, though not all are persistent. A second persistent barnacle was discovered around 40KM from the site of a crashed Anaconda, which is believed to have been the source of the signal referenced in a [https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5697c9829657ba153248c09b GalNet article] from the 14th January 3302. Some Commanders have also reported seeing a barnacle immediately at the crash site. The persistent one can be found at the coordinates 21.9107, 96.9729 on the planet Pleiades Sector JC-U B3-2 1.[[File:Barnacle.jpeg|thumb|The Alien structure or "Barnacle" and its surrounding organic growths.|left|382x382px]]
