We have massive objects orbiting a star that don't appear to be natural. The most plausible natural explanation of the objects being comets pulled into orbit around the star, is apparently almost as unlikely as it actually being aliens. SETI is taking this one serious and we're starting to point more in that direction to take a peek.

Comets...incredibly improbable coincidence. But still coincidence that could happen. Still more plausible than something like no one know what life building a lot of no one know what around the star and using it for no one know what.

The quest for verification begins. Radio telescopes are being aimed in that direction.

This would technically mean Bubba in Alabama is one of the universe's most advanced forms of life. On one hand thats terrifying but on the other hand I'm oddly pleased ancient space Waffle House ruins will be a thing for future life through the ages to find and explore.

Talking about ancients, there may be more ancients out there, but they are stuck at the pyramid building phase and thats enough for them, like space Inca or Aztecs. Or maybe they had their space conquest whiles but now they are back to pyramid building again, after some technological and coultural collapse.

Ah, this is exciting news, always trust the media to twist what the sources say into click bait.
I'm not to sure if I share the same mindset but reality always turns out to be a boring and logical, and also, how do we know it ''looks'' alien like, We've never seen intelligent life before (lolnothumans).
My guess its between a asteroid belt or a buttload of debris. Always count on the most boring explanation to be the closest to reality. |

Contrary to popular belief, first is not always an indication of quality, it simply infers that we could be the first. Maybe advance in the sense of us making it to a certain point presumably before anyone else did. Guess it depends on whether Bubba from Alabama would have been comparatively ahead of alien Bubba from planet Blarg in a few billion years or the other way around should the two had ever existed at the same time. Something else to note is that if things happen as they should, Bubba from Blarg will have a better chance IF his species has learned from others before them. Interesting prospect all around, though.

One would imagine a species that has the ability and the knowledge to perform such feats also has the common sense to keep its very existence hidden from the rest of the galaxy. You know, just in case...

Just to add some info to the thread for peeps that haven't read, the size of a buttload of debris would have cover the same area on the star as 22 Jupiters. 1 planet the size of Jupiter would dim the star about 1% and the decrease in light was about 22% at its last measured peak.
We missed a measurement in April that was expected to see another big dip =(

I hope Astronomers aren't stupid to try and blast signals towards it to phone E.T. and have aliens come here and literally **** everything in our solar system. We're probably being obvserved right now by something that has little intention of massacring us all, but first contact would probably end us.
Anything that is intelligent outside our system are most likely notorious and more evil than humanity. Screw aliens.

Yes, finally :) Looks like aliens do exist! Now we just have to make sure that they don't misinterpret that radio message and come and kill us all :P

If they are capable of coming here, they will probably exterminate us just in case we could someday threaten them, just like you exterminate pests in your backyard.

There is only one feasible explanation. Aliens are hiding any activity from something very dangerous. Maybe another aliens that like to destroy everything on their path.

So, if we do ever achieve interstellar travel, any lifeforms we meet should be not as far along the evolutionary trail as us? So, we could possibly find something like, say... a live dinosaur? Something similar to a triceratops maybe? What are we waiting for, we need interstellar travel now!

Any system that orbits within our halo around the galaxy is roughly the same age. Only assumed. |

That sounds like something you could cook at Waffle House.
2nd thought*: If the life in space around us consists mostly of large animals that will eat us if not shot by large guns, that would make rednecks inherently useful for space travel and exploration. Terrifying.

Space marines are incorporated in a lot of sci fi settings and stories. Some of them could be redneck, or talk like them, like in starcraft.
