KIC 8462852 is emitting some rather strange light patterns. Astronomers have been observing the star for 6 years now and they’ve found dips in its light below levels that happen when a planet crosses in front of a star.
Some are starting to theorize that the strange pattern might be caused by an alien mega-structure around the heavenly body, called a Dyson Sphere.
“Make it so!”
\Most likely an advanced civilization on par with obama celebrating earth day.
Would that be like the prediction from Paul Ehrlich in his spectacular failure of a “book” called The Population Bomb where he claimed half the US population would die of starvation by the year 2000?
Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s the same type of prediction. These people are worse than useless.
Dyson sphere? Hell, I’ve got one of those on my vacuum cleaner:

“they’ve found dips in its light below levels that happen when a planet crosses in front of a star.”
Did you ever consider, you stupid ‘settled science’ fools, that the planet might be one of those ‘it-can’t-happen’ mega planets that you said can’t exist, yet you actually found one?
Some people’s children, sheesh.
Someone is a big Ringworld fan to come up with that hypothesis. Call in Louis Wu, Nessus, and Speaker to Animals to verify.
So, I’m to believe That aliens built this, but if I believe in God as Creator, I’m a wacko?
Well of course it is aliens. Why do so many stupid people find their existence so hard to believe!
With 1400 light years in between, there might be some rocks, or stars or galaxies in the way.
It sure does screw up the dust bunnies universe….
Why are such highly educated people afraid to say “we really don’t know”, rather then come up with some implausible star trek fantasy sci-fi explanation to make them sound smart?
How are they getting their funding?
Oh, that place. It’s not the star reducing its output, it’s the ‘Vacancy’ sign flashing at the entrance to that solar system.
Whole place is low rent, look elsewhere.
“Aliens should always be the very last hypothesis you consider…”
Yet there you go, fool. Stick with physics. There are no extraterrestrials, only earthly demonic illusions. Even the the pope and his telescope Lucifer are falling into this trap.
When the antichrist comes, he will have “extraterrestrial” connections. Be not deceived.
Don’t forget to contact Teela Brown. We will need her luck in dealing with these unknown factors. Hopefully she has not become a pack protector by now.
En pointe PJ. SETI needs a payday – electric bill must be past due.
I think your question answered itself. To make them look smart.
Dyson Sphere? Well, outer space is a vacuum…..
Studies show that there is a specific area of the brain that is active when someone is being full of shit. I’m employing that region right now.
