Is anyone else as stupidly excited as I am about the unusual star that was flagged?

Asked by DrasticDreamer (23996points) October 18th, 2015

Multiple “citizen scientists” flagged a sun (via the Planet Hunters Project) when they noticed unusual behavior coming from it. It turns out that the behavior is so unusual that no one can really explain what the heck is going on or why it might be happening. Most theories have been ruled out, but there are a couple that still remain, and an at least somewhat serious theory has been possible alien technology – though it’s always the last theory to be looked at and for good reason.

Full article, and worth the read, can be found here.

What are your thoughts? I, of course, am hoping that aliens are harvesting solar energy, or that it’s even some kind of space station. Let me have my wild dreams, because I’m very happy to dream them. :P
