They might be Circadian Seekers, they are around now since Rhea.
They scan stuff, but did not shoot anything yet.
This is Lore stuff, quite interesting i might say.

I didn't stick around to check what they were, just saw red crosses and quickly screenshot and warped out, was in a completely unfit Rookie ship at the time.

They are circadian seekers. You have unidentified structure in the system and they are all cruiser sized.I have seen some other mission specific rats in high sec in caldari space, near the station, but they were around 100~150 km away from it.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

Just went back to that system, Rats are no longer on the station, and there is an Unidentified Structure Beacon in system.

Warp around to asteroid belts or planetary customs offices or stay at the unidentified structure. In Fabin they warped around and usually ended couple of times in a hour near it. Sometimes tehy are seen on gates.

Rats have been occasionally visiting stations for years.

It does happen rarely though.

Unidentified structure kinda looks like a POS Tower/Station Cloaked with lightning on it.

I can understand your caution. Would have been a shame to have lost that rookie ship.

OP if you want to know more about your find, you can consult this thread in GD: Cloaked 'Unidentified Structure' Mystery

People have been investing quite some time & resources in trying to uncover what it is.

As others have said - Circadian Seekers...

Normal system belt rats do spawn on stations fairly frequently - whether it's a bug in the spawn mechanic or in their "intelligence" I don't know but when they do they will burn away from the station at sublight speeds; often resulting in a distorted grid. If you have the time it is worth chasing them down and popping them - it seems that while the spawn is off the station other rat spawns in the system are a little buggy.
