"There’s a new mystery in the universe and it goes by the name KIC 8462852. It is a star approximately 1500 light years away from the Earth, and displays a strange pattern of dimming that has astronomers scratching their heads.

With many natural causes apparently ruled out, there is even the suggestion that the signals could be caused by a giant structure, built in space near the star, presumably by extraterrestrials....".

Of course, there is many potential explanations as to what it could be, but a lot of them don't seem to really check out, and that is what has people baffled. Alien megastructure? (We know it is Clive don't we :17: :171: )
 
Sure is POL, the more we stick our noses out into the universe, the more weird things we're going to find. I'll be keeping on eye on this one...

 
Another interesting article I came across on the subject that's worth a read. Whatever is going on, it's certainly going to be an interesting next year or so for astrophysicists and SETI.
