Reports are saying scientists have come up with a strange explanation for the irregularly fluctuating light coming from a distant star – it could be an alien power source.

According the Washington Post, one of the stranger theories to come from the unexplained light flickers from the distant star, which is located 1,142 light years away from Earth, is that an alien species could have built a massive array of solar panels.
Tabetha Boyajian, a researcher at Yale, told The Atlantic: “We’d never seen anything like this star. It was really weird. We thought it might be bad data or movement on the spacecraft, but everything checked out.”
According to the reports, the Kepler Space Telescope observed the star KIC 8462852 over a period of four years, between 2009 and 2013. Kepler is on the lookout for new planets, and watches stars to see if their light ‘dims’ as an orbiting planet passes between the star and Earth.
Most of the time, orbiting planets dim the light of their star for between a few hours to a few days, depending on their orbit and size. However, researchers notices that the light of star KIC 8462852 appeared to have two tiny dims in 2009, followed by a large dimming lasting almost a week in 2011, and then a series of multiple, significant dims in the star’s light in 2013.
The SETI Institute thinks this could be a significant discovery, as the irregular light fluctuations could possibly point to the presence of a massive amount of alien-made technology surrounding the star to soak up it’s sunlight. The concept was first imagined (at least, by humans) by Princeton physicist Freeman Dyson, who proposed the concept in a 1960 Science paper, “Search for Artificial Stellar Sources of Infrared Radiation”
The idea, named a Dyson Sphere (or a Dyson Swarm), was to build a massive structure of solar panels in space that surround the Sun, and use them to capture solar power to provide the energy needs for humanity without having to scrape oil or coal from the Earth. If this is an alien structure, that means it was built around the same time King Arthur was (reportedly) alive.

If this is true, no further evidence is needed to prove all the rednecks WEREN’T just drunk!
To think that Earth’s human population is the only life in the universe is simply a silly notion. It makes about as much sense as the flat earth theory. As well, there is enough historical data to show that earth has been consistently visited by advanced non-earth civilizations. Anyone who doubts this is in denial. What we need to figure out is if they are friendly or have a desire to subjugate us, or worse yet, have us for dinner. The greatest trick that the Devil ever pulled on mankind was to lead people to believe he didn’t exist. Aliens may be pulling this very same trick on humanity. And, sadly, our governments, for various and sundry reasons, may be going along with them.
I’d be worried for the aliens, humans take. Humans are taking everything they can from this planet and are destroying it. Most animals have been made our slaves. Humans murder animals to eat them, torture them for science, breed them for profit and then kill them when they are of no use. I hope we never find the aliens, humans will just take whatever they can from them and their planet.
Was it built by Greys or Reptilians?
Built by aliens, destroyed by democrats…just like the rest of the country.
