In early 3301, [[Unknown Artefact]]s were discovered among the cargoes of secret Federal convoys. Their discovery marked the first indication that Thargoids yet existed in the depths of space, though the Artefacts, as well as the similar [[Unknown Probe]]s that would be found orbiting ammonia worlds in 3302, would not be conclusively linked to the Thargoids until later. Some CMDRs believed that the Artefacts and Probes originated from an entirely unknown alien race, while others asserted that they were examples of experimental human technology. Disputes and speculation over the objects continued for months. [[Barnacles]] were also discovered in 3302, but their even more pronounced organic appearance also stymied analysis. | In early 3301, [[Unknown Artefact]]s were discovered among the cargoes of secret Federal convoys.

On August 30, 3302, the first [[Alien Crash Site|alien crash site]] was discovered in a canyon by CMDR Noctrach and Ihazevich. The wreckage is an ancient [[Thargoid Interceptor]] in the [[Pleiades Nebula]] AB-W B2-4 system. An analysis by [[Aegis]] says it is a little over 100 years old.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/59e0c4b16fc1d540d8703341 Galactic News: Speculation over Thargoid Ship]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/57c69de19657ba060a46a7f2 Galnet News - Galactic News: Mysterious Wreckage Discovered]</ref> | On August 30, 3302, the first [[Alien Crash Site|alien crash site]] was discovered in a canyon by CMDR Noctrach and Ihazevich.

On January 5, 3303, Commander DP Sayre reported the first known encounter with an [[Thargoid Interceptor|Unknown Ship]], which was later confirmed to be a type of Thargoid vessel and officially reclassified as a Thargoid Interceptor. The Unknown Ship interdicted the CMDR from [[hyperspace]] and apparently scanned him before departing to an untraceable destination. The acts of interdicting a target while in hyperspace and leaving an untraceable wake signature were both well beyond the capabilities of human technology. Previously, only the [[Alien Crash Site|wreckage of these ships]] had been documented. | On January 5, 3303, Commander DP Sayre reported the first known encounter with an [[Thargoid Interceptor|Unknown Ship]], which was later confirmed to be a type of Thargoid vessel and officially reclassified as a Thargoid Interceptor.
