First sign of Thargoids - Attack on a Bulk Carrier

I had just dropped into Lalande 4141 on the way to getting the Vesuvius (Type-7) refitted to do a bit of mining, when I noticed a Samson Class Bulk Carrier pop up on the radar. Having never seen a Bulk Carrier I thought I'd swing by and have look. Dropping out of super cruise I was dismayed to see that the carrier seemed to be in some distress. It appeared to be disabled and was surrounded by an ominous mustard coloured cloud. I moved in closer and saw that the illuminated side of the ship was smeared by some sort of yellow substance. Keeping my distance, I made my way around to the front ship. As I turned towards the bridge it became obvious that the carrier had recently been attacked. One part of the bridge had been blown away and the ship was venting into space. The dark side of the ship showed signs of a sustained attack, but I doubt the culprit was of human origin. Looks to me like the Thargoids are getting closer to the Bubble.
