First alien encounter in Elite: Dangerous

The alien hunt that started in early 2015 intensifies

After years of speculation and shifting through ruins, a first legit alien encounter has been documented in Elite: Dangerous.

A player, riding the Xbox version of the game published the captured footage and Frontier Developments was quick to confirm it via Twitter. As of now, it is still unclear how to 'replicate' the encounter, and what intentions the aliens named 'Thargoids' might have.

Exciting times for Elite players, since the hunt for aliens has been going on within the game for more than a year now.
