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.

The '''Unknown Artefacts''' ('''UAs'''), sometimes known as '''Anomalous Extraterrestrial Objects '''('''AEOs''') have been reported to look like a form of sentient life, far beyond what we humans are capable of creating.

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 rate at which the UAs are appearing have been rapidly increasing lately as of October 3301. In some systems, several UAs have been found within minutes of eachother.

A team of scientists known as Canonn Interstellar Research, or simply, The Canonn, are currently leading the effort to solve the mystery behind these objects.

== What does it do? ==

As far as current tests and analysis show, it appears that the UA does a sort of [[Wikipedia:Side-scan sonar|sonar scan]] of the closest celestial object or station and then sends out (chittering) sounds which are a highly distorted [[Wikipedia:Morse code|Morse code]] which represents that body.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=175726&p=2701750&viewfull=1#post2701750 UA Mystery Thread 3: The Canonn], Arcanonn, Elite: Dangerous Forums, 2015-08-16, 19:58</ref>

Recordings and decoding of the UA also show that it produces a drawing of the ship it scans.

* Polaris

** As the UA degrades modules quite rapidly, it would a challenging task to take it anywhere of great distance, even with a wing and plenty of [[Auto Field-Maintenance Unit]]s, with the additional challenge that its a permit protected system. (Note that a UA ''has'' been taken to the nearest system to Polaris in 1.2 and 1.3 without any observable differences).

* The Formidine Rift

** Same reasons as above. The Formidine Rift is around 13,000 light years from human space, between the Outer Arm and the Perseus Arm in the eastern end of the galaxy.
