'Alien Megastructure' Star Is at It Again with the Strange Dimming

This is definitely of great interest for me.

The video's are quite explanatory, particularily the last one posted, watching now.

Slightly sensational undoubtably but interesting nonetheless, a quick recap.

Swamp gas?!

But seriously, could it be some kind of 'cosmic cloud' composed of small particles - perhaps the remnants of a collision, or supernova?

Or, could it be dark matter?

Either of these could be passing anywhere between here and the star.

The irregular formation of such phenomenon could explain the A-symetric pattern of dimming.

It's not the only star who's been showing erratic dimming. A bunch of other stars are also showing similar behaviour.

Unless it's the same species of aliens who decided to go constructing dyson spheres all over the galaxy at the same exact moment relative to Earth time, timing themselves to get busy right about the time Earth scientists starts looking for them, I believe the simplest cause for the dimming is a natural (and long-lived) one.

Really? What other stars have been doing the same thing? If other stars were doing the same thing, then why is everyone focused in this star?

As for the alien film, that is nonsense because the news broke about this star way before the film was even mentioned, so you can rule that out.

Just caught this story on yahoo. The star is blinking yet again!

It's winking at us!

When people wonder about contact and what it would look like it's things like this that I like to point to.

If direct contact hasn't already been made and kept secret by worldwide compartmentalization a'la the manhattan project then maybe its things like this or the wow signal that could be a cosmic wink in our direction

What is always the problem is that people continue to think we are alone, that we are special.

We exist. Therefore other life exists. There is not one ounce of any argument that can argue this point away because it is natural fact that if we stand here and breath as we do, complex life can exist elsewhere.

I know we are talking about such mega-structures as Dyson spheres. This is our interpretation of weird occurrences, why would another civilisation not have the same ideas too or grander ideas. We will see spectacular things soon and most people will not be able to fathom the changes. Life is still young here and yet we already have achieved so much.

Now imagine a 50 billion year old civilisation.

We should remain open-minded whilst appreciating the limitations set by current science.

We exist. Therefore other life exists. There is not one ounce of any argument that can argue this point away because it is natural fact that if we stand here and breath as we do, complex life can exist elsewhere.

I don't disagree with you on any of this; it's reasonable thinking. At the very same time, we have to allow for the possibility that we could be the first life-form to survive long enough to become technological. Our end of the galaxy could be devoid of anything more than very basic life with Earth being the only harbour for sentience. Ain't that a cold blast?!

Now imagine a 50 billion year old civilisation.

We're arguably 5000 years old as civilisations go although it took hundreds of thousands of years to get from a rock in our hands to here. Instead of 50 billion, imagine us one million years from now? In almost every aspect, we'll be comparatively 'alien.' It's almost like an event horizon trying to imagine what a million year old civ will be like. It's almost a certainty we'll be more artificial than flesh and beyond that who knows?

I think its the remnants of a galactic space battle and those are all derelict command ships, frigates , cruisers etc all floating derelict space junk , not active but a space graveyard

Hey imagine if it was and someday we managed to image it? Proof of intelligent, technological life and it's floating out there far beyond our reach.

The feeling might be something like having lost a record-breaking lottery ticket and spending the rest of your life sighing at the what ifs.

"We don't know what it is so first we have to thoroughly established what it isn't..."

here's some recent info/news .... the Vatican library (all 53 miles of books, manu.scrolls) has uncovered a text which seems to be talking about high-tech magicians in ancient Egypt who were Gods from the Stars...in fact probably from the 'Tabby Star System' itself

...It contains many new religious texts, including a large pictorial-textual segment from the so-called Book of Two Ways, known from the floorboard decorations of Middle Kingdom coffins, as well as religious spells formulated in the first-person singular, probably intended for recitation by a priest.

The text illustrates a holy place in the stars that is protected by multiple gates and powerful extra-terrestrial guardians. They are said to be supernatural beings with immense magical powers.
There are many writers and scholars that believe the ancients based their religious beliefs on appearances in the heavens and the star constellation Cygnus or the Swan.

also: the info stated in the article says the Tabby-Star is only 300 light-years distant not the 1,300 LY distance found in earlier links...but is still within the constellation of the Swan/Cygnus, so at ancient Egyptian group of outsiders who formed a closed sect or cult...did tell others that the 'Tabby Star' was a sacred place back around 2,300 BCE


so, it is possible the dimming star, is really a beacon to the other planets & civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy...
that a race of God like Magicians do exist...and can transport instantly to any planet or Sun with a Magnetic Field strong enough to accommodate a temporary 'wormhole' brought about by the quantum action of 'Entanglement' or 'spooky action-at-a-distance'
