Occasional Ghost-like Ship Artifacts in the DScan Bubble?

Dscan objects question

When I run a Dscan at max range 360 in a high sec area, very often just outside the Dscan sphere it shows the outline of what appear to be be HUGE ships. Everything else (with in the scan sphere) shows as dots and icons but these show as ships. (I tried to get a screen show but couldn’t) What am I seeing? Thanks.

It’s a visual effect showing the models of the ships within scan range and cone. Like old fashioned radar visualizations. It’s a gimmick not more.

Though you wrote they show up regardless if you get any results, though maybe you scan in less than 360 degrees so no results in d-scan window but at 360 degrees there are ships and those are showing up as “ghost ships”? Thus those ships are all the ships within the entire d-scan bubble and the d-scan window shows only the ones inside the cone. At least that’s my best guess.
