Non-human signal sources can be found in areas with Thargoid activity, these will allow you to obtain an extraterrestrial encounter of some kind given the name and can be found in supercruise, and the scan of a NAV beacon when entering a system will allow you to access all non-human signal sources.

Every time you find a signal source they will have a threat level attached. You can find various combinations in groups or alone depending on the attached threat level, and the higher the threat level, the more difficult, and the lower the threat level, the easier.

Sometimes static locations will allow you to access encounters if you don't want to leave, allowing you to randomly find Thargoids. And they can have one or two interceptors spawned, on the other hand, mega-ship encounters can sometimes cause smaller scouts to appear instead.

The meetings usually take place in:

• Kamadhenu - Damaged Mega Ships.
• Wolf 636 - Two permanent distress calls.
• Deciat - Damaged Mega Ships.
• Delphi - Permanent call for help.
• HR 1185 - Permanent Distress Call.

One way you cannot find Thargoids is through Hyperdictions, instead they are a way to find the player. It's basically the act of taking a player straight out of Witch Space while traveling to a different system.
