The '''Alien Structure''' is an organic structure, consisting of a central, ribbed peak surrounded by [[Organic Structure|Organic Structures]]. The existence of these objects was first hinted at during a trailer for [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]] released on December 15th 2015.<ref>[https://youtu.be/VKWIJ-H-WxI?t=1m Elite Dangerous: Horizons Launch Trailer]</ref> | |||

At first sight the central column looks very much like a regular, sea-based barnacle sitting on the ground. However closer up, it looks more like a number of individual obelisks make up the structure. At ground level the obelisks do not quite meet, leaving gaps through which a more organic looking material can be seen which radiates a blue-green light. It is approximately 1.5 to 2 times the height of an [[Scarab]] [[SRV]].[[File:Barnard's_Loop?.png|thumb|Symbol on the side of the barnacle]]The peaks of each obelisk is coloured a creamy white, with a strange symbol visible on the side. This is currently the cause of much speculation amongst commanders with many believing it to be a reference to Barnard's Loop, an emission nebula in the Orion constellation. | At first sight the central column looks very much like a regular, sea-based barnacle sitting on the ground.

The peaks of each obelisk is coloured a creamy white, with a strange symbol visible on the side. This is currently the cause of much speculation amongst commanders with many believing it to be a reference to Barnard's Loop, an emission nebula in the Orion constellation. | |||
