EDIT: Found another one in Onnamon, Black Rise. Circadian seekers have scanned the structure and are just standing by. Give it a wide berth...just in case.
Hey, that's a couple of jumps away.
I'll head over as soon as I'm free. |

The crystalline entities are not cloaked. Are you implying that they are rather half 'here' (as in: in our continuum) and still half 'there' while materializing?
They could exist partly in our version of space-time and partly somewhere/when else. Trying to see, detect or interact with them for us could be like a two-dimensional being trying to see or interact with something that was 'up." |

Additionally, there was a wormhole that formed 1 AU from the structure. I'm not sure if it bears any relevance to the phenomenon though.
I found two 'holes in that system yesterday, but no structure? Got some coordinates please? |

At around 01:00 I engaged the Sleeper construct and drones in Uchomida.
I've since gone over my ships' video feeds and I can't get anything close to a decent image of the structure on any spectrum. This is not a surprise. I did spend some time approaching the structure from different angles and by "touching" the object by using my collision alert system to "bump" off of it, I can say that these structures are large. About the size of a good POS or a small station.
You can get a lock on them.
Energy drains will work on them. Salvagers, Data and Relic scanners won't because there is some kind of shield that keeps you from getting closer than about 5200m.
Scout drones will not attack the structure. Missiles explode harmlessly off of it.
Hypothesis: The properties of this structure that do not allow imaging, sensing and keep a ship at a specific distance are due to a shield and not properties of the structure itself.
(The thought of how much energy it takes to cloak a station is staggering.)
Circadian Seekers: They are now in groups of five. If you interact with the structure, they appear. They scan you and then warp off. They do not respond to hails. They seemed to have an interest in the Customs Offices around the planets of the system. Using a web or warp scram will not only prevent the target from warping off, but the whole group. You don't "pin" the group, but they stay with their counterpart. They do not attack other than to scan. They can be destroyed. But I don't recommend using frigate or destroyer class weapons as this takes a long time (about 120 light scourge missiles for one drone).
CONCORD will let you attack them without reprise. They appear as hostiles. CONCORD however does not pay a bounty on them, like they do high-sec pirates.
I can only guess at what their intentions are, so I won't.
If they were to turn hostile... |

I was able to isolate images captured by my camera drones in a limited part of the spectrum, in the red to violet range and then apply some visual enhancements to partially reveal some shapes and long angular lines in the hidden objects. It was a most fiddly and frustrating procedure. If you zoom in closely you can see the shapes too.
This is about the dimensions I found. But from my imaging and sensing I think there was a...skirt. A prominence along the lower edge. Let me play with my imaging systems again... |

Scroll up.
Basically, the shield around the structure doesn't let you get close enough to use a scanner. |

You can get about 5,200m before you bounce. T2 scanners go 6,000m. I tried with a T2 Data analyzer and was informed by Aura that the module could not be activated on the object. My guess is that Salvagers and Relic analyzers would have the same result, but I didn't test it as I wasn't fitted for it.
I stand corrected. Thanks! Good to know. That's what I get for using the cheap equipment. |

What if...
And mind you, I'm as paranoid as the rest of you.
What if these structures are the remnants of Thera and the other nearby systems? What if they escaped, through whatever means, and these locations are where they ended up? Scattered, split up...maybe we all have new neighbors? |

The object in Onnamon has now re-appeared about 297km off the Academy station at Planet I.

It seems like the ball is in their court.
All we can do now is hope for the best and prepare for the worst. |
