Starfield Player Discovers A Bizarre Sight Hanging Above New Atlantis

Being set in the endless expanse of space, it makes sense that has the occasional Unidentified Flying Object but one player may just discovered the biggest one yet and it's hanging out in a strange destination. One of the major mysteries of the universe that 's cast has yet to solve is whether or not another intelligent species exists out in the cosmos; there may be plenty of alien animals but nothing that comes close to humanity. That may be about to change though as a strange ship could be an indicator of something extremely powerful.

Posted to Reddit by user suzuchi, the player shared images of a strange diamond-shaped UFO hanging above New Atlantis, 's biggest and most populated city.

Upon first glance, it looks like it could simply be a distant planet or star but zooming in with a sniper's scope reveals that it has a distinct shape, suggesting an intelligent species constructed it. Other players have suggested that it's just a human ship but the scale of the object is gigantic; it's easily larger than any of the game's commercial ships and spacestations aren't included in the base game.

Starfield’s planets can become procedurally generated drudgery, but one unassuming location shows Bethesda is still crafting detailed worlds.

Many of the replies have suggested that the ship belongs to a Starborn that's crossed over between universes and it's positioned over New Atlantis to keep a watchful eye on Constellation. It's certainly a fun theory, with some of the more outlandish suggestions being that a multiversal version of the player character is actually the one commanding the vessel. While it certainly appears to be of alien origin, there's been no indication that such a faction would be added to the game, meaning it's either a fun bit of world-building or potentially a glitch.

Some have suggested that the ship could be some kind of teaser regarding the upcoming DLC which is poised to introduce a whole new story into. Bethesda has yet to reveal any information
