Players in Elite Dangerous have reported seeing a strange orange band appear briefly on planetary mineral scans. Unlike the usual yellow and purple mineral indicators that mark mineable resources, this orange band provides no data and cannot be mined. It appears immediately after the scan completes and then fades away. This anomaly could represent a new or rare mineral feature, a scanning glitch, or an unexplained game mechanic. Commanders are encouraged to share any similar observations to help the community understand this phenomenon.
