The '''Alien Barnacle''' is an organic structure, consisting of a central, ribbed peak surrounded by a varying number of spires. The existence of these objects was first hinted at during a trailer for Elite Dangerous: Horizons released on December 15th 2015, which featured a brief view of one and captured the attention of many exploratory Commanders <ref>[https://youtu.be/VKWIJ-H-WxI?t=1m]</ref>. | The '''Alien Barnacle''' is an organic structure, consisting of a central, ribbed peak surrounded by a varying number of spires.

The first barnacle was discovered by CMDR Octo on the 14th of January, 3302 on the planet Merope 5 C. It can be found at the coordinates -026.3496, -156.4044, and appears to be persistent to all instances. The sight is visible from a distance of up to 4.41 kilometres. | [[File:Barnacle anaconda crash.jpg|thumb|386x386px|View of the barnacle reported at the Anaconda crash site.

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. | Since then multiple other barnacles have been discovered in nearby systems, though not all are persistent.
