* The INRA/Dark Wheel/CEIP theory

** Based on consistent lore from John Harper's And Here the Wheel and in-game events, as well as from Frontier First Encounters, this theory posits that the UAs are being used to generate fear of aliens, via propaganda linking them to such events as the Cerberus Plague and the disappearance of Starship One. INRA, or a breakaway faction of the Dark Wheel, the Circle of Elite Independent Pilots, or "Ceepers", would be behind the appearance of the UAs and the propaganda, and the assassination of the Federation President and linking that event to the UAs and aliens, in order to force a war between the Federation and Empire so that humanity would unite under the winner against the purported alien threat. It is possible that the crystal at the heart of the SAP-8 Core Container is a data crystal from a Ceeper Base containing information related to Soontill, Raxxla, and aliens.

* The Alien Probe theory

* The Alien Probe or Alien Terraformer theory

** Similar to the scanner theory above, the idea here is that the alien race behind the UA have encountered one or both of the Voyagers (which have currently gone missing in the game, and FD have not acknowledged this as a bug), from which they learnt to communicate via the stylized Morse and the whale sounds and dolphin or sea turtle chittering and honks that are similar to their own language. Find a Voyager, and with it and the UA together, communication can occur with the aliens, somehow.

** Or, the probe is looking for something, like a suitable planet for terraforming, and transmitting its coordinates using the stylized Morse. Once it has found what it is looking for, this message will change.

** Neither hold a lot of water (pun intended) as it deteriorates over time in space.
