Astronomers still can’t rule out the presence of an alien megastructure around Kepler star KIC 8462852 — located nearly 1500 light years away in the constellation of Cygnus. Strange dips in the star’s luminosity over four years of observations with NASA ’s Kepler space telescope initially fueled such speculation, even though most of it was quickly dismissed.
But the currently most favored natural explanation for the strange light curves — a swarm of intervening planetary or cometary debris — remains largely unsatisfying.
A planet transiting the star would cause a periodic dip that repeats regularly, Travis Metcalfe, a team member and astronomer at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo., told me.
“But the observed dips didn’t repeat regularly, which is why continued observations from telescopes on the ground will be so helpful in narrowing down the cause,” said Metcalfe.

>This could indicate the possibility of multiple planets
They would still have some regular orbits. But in this case it would mean some fucked up system with chaotic movements of big (like, really big) of rocks and shit without ani normal orbit, but system itself somehow holding together.
>The first major dip, on 5 March 2011, obscured the star's brightness by up to 15%, and the other (on 28 February 2013) by up to 22%. In comparison, a planet the size of Jupiter would only obscure a star of this size by 1%, indicating that whatever is blocking light during the star's major dips is not a planet, but rather something covering up to half the width of the star.
The simplest explanation is that the System has a lot of comets and gasses. The stars metallicity could be larger than that of the sun therefore it is much more likely to have planets, asteroids, comets, etc.
Even if it is an alien megastructure it wouldn't matter much to any normie. The only thing it would do is make astrobiology a much more respectable field

Gonna say no, our best bet is a.i
Imagine yourself taking a stroll through Manhattan, somewhere north of 68th street, deep inside Central Park, late at night. It would be nice to meet someone friendly, but you know that the park is dangerous at night. That's when the monsters come out. There's always a strong undercurrent of drug dealings, muggings, and occasional homicides.
It is not easy to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys. They dress alike, and the weapons are concealed. The only difference is intent, and you can't read minds.
Stay in the dark long enough and you may hear an occasional distance shriek or blunder across a body.
How do you survive the night? The last thing you want to do is shout, "I'm here!" The next to last thing you want to do is reply to someone who shouts, "I'm a friend!"
What you would like to do is find a policeman, or get out of the park. But you don't want to make noise or move towards a light where you might be spotted, and it is difficult to find either a policeman or your way out without making yourself known. Your safest option is to hunker down and wait for daylight, then safely walk out.
There are, of course, a few obvious differences between Central Park and the universe.
There is no policeman.
There is no way out.
And the night never ends.

large clouds of gasses, dust, comets, asteroids, etc. There are many explanations that require less assumptions than "GIANT ALIEN MEGASTRUCTURE". Most of the mainstream news about astronomy is sensationalist garbage that appeal to people who haven't taken a single astronomy class. Take the confirmation of Gravity waves by LIGO, we have known about Grav waves since Einstein published GR, we have observed the effect of grav waves on orbits, the only thing LIGO did was confirm what all of physicist have know for 90 years, not saying it wasn't a nobel prize worthy accomplishment I'm just saying it wasn't some insane breakthrough that the media made it out to be.

A few years ago, my mom told me she was driving home one night when she was younger, I think it was in the 70s, and there was an emergency broadcast on the radio telling people not to stop for anybody, and to get home and lock their doors because there were little green men.
I remember reading something about this a long time ago, and I saw a joke about it on a movie, but I haven't been able to find anything related to it. The Kelly, Ky. thing is the closest I could find, but that's it.

Countries probably would work together to develop technology matching aliens so we can either communicate or somehow defend ourselves, because if they attack us, entire humanity would evaporate.
And I don't understand why we always portrait them as the ones being the most advanced motherfuckers out there. What if we're the most advanced?

It is more rational to assume that this solar system is extremely metallic then assuming there is an alien megastructure. the fact the dips are irregular and extremely large does not rule out large clouds of dust and comets but rather supports it.
And how exactly does this irregularity in magnitude dips support the hypothesis of an alien mega structure? If such a structure existed it would adhere to Kepler's 3rd law and have a regular orbit unless the civilization was purposely expending energy to make it's orbit highly irregular.

I don't really believe in anything religion wise, or even think about it much, so I guess I'm an agnostic. But I definitely believe 100% that either there are other forms of life somewhere out there, or there has to be a god. Maybe both. But it would just be too big of a coincidence that human life just randomly came into existence and is the only thing living anywhere in the universe. I think that's it's certainly possible that we never get to the point of proving that there's life elsewhere before we die out, but there definitely is something.

Schaefer saw the same century-long dimming in his manual readings, and calculated that it would require 648,000 comets, each 200 kilometres wide, to have passed by the star – completely implausible, he says. “The comet-family idea was reasonably put forth as the best of the proposals, even while acknowledging that they all were a poor lot,” he says. “But now we have a refutation of the idea, and indeed, of all published ideas.”

Romantic but foolish claim. The main difference between Central Park and Universe is that in Universe any advanced telescope can detect biosphere of another planet, making hiding impossible.
We will have such telescopes ready within 20 years.

Also remember that other possible Dyson Sphere candidates were found before

Phase I results:
Phase I showed that less than 1 in 600 of the IRAS sources were clustered within about 10% of the blackbody line. During Phase I it became clear the IRAS Low Resolution Spectrometer data with many more points in a spectrum could give more definitive fits. That approach has been pursued in Phase II. Phase II results:
Using the Low Resolution Spectrometer yielded 17 ambiguous candidates of which four were slightly amusing but still ambiguous and questionable. The largest one sun bolometric distance in the 17 source sample was 118 pc. The 11000 source Calgary sample extended down to 1-2 Jy which would have given a maximum bolometric distance of 300 pc for LRS sources. This region includes something like a million stars.

An ideal instrument for a Dyson sphere study is an all sky survey covering a wide wavelength band centered in the 10 micron regime equivalent to 300 degrees Kelvin. These two requirements were satisfied by the mid-eighties IRAS satellite. A central mission for IRAS was to study cosmic dust, so there was no premium on resolution and the mirror had only a 0.6 m diameter. Still, the performance was satisfactory for a Dyson Sphere survey. The sensitivity was 1 Jansky while the angular resolution was 1 minute. Starting from a 250,000 source sample sources were discarded if the IRAS flux quality for the 12 and 25 μm filters only corresponded to an upper limit. This left 10982 sources. The search focused on a temperature range of 100 to 600 �K leaving about 6521 sources. No cut was made on proximity to other sources. By doing this partial Dyson spheres were not ruled out. As noted on the Dyson Sphere look-alike page there are several natural surrogates that are difficult to rule out. Several cuts were used on the LRS sample to focus in on a Dyson Sphere signature. These included temperature, classification, and visual scans in SIMBAD. This led to a sample of 17 weak and ambiguous candidates..

More recently several other searches have been conducted for partial Dyson Spheres. Globus, Backman, and Witteborn have searched by looking for a temperature/luminosity anomaly due to the fact that the luminosity of a star surrounded by a partial Dyson sphere would be lowered compared to a naked star of the same temperature. Conroy and Werthimer have searched by constraining the Jugaku infrared excess technique to older stars using a list of 1000 nearby older stars compiled by Wright and Marcy. Using older stars eliminates thick dust clouds around young stars. They also correlate with the rich K band near-infrared ground based data from 2MASS. They have found 33 candidates in the 12 μm IRAS band with 3 σ excesses from the mean.

I agree. I just think the hollywood concept of little green men, spirits who want to tell their story, or some Greek version of dieties sitting in the sky playing chess with humanity is a bit silly.
Wish I still believed though, I can recall spending entire nights from sundown till sun up research aliens and ghosts and various theologies.

In Galactic terms it's a nearby neighbour.
The galaxy is 100,000 light years across.
This star is 1,500 LY away. That's 1.5% the width of the galaxy away. That's nothing.

Do you know how dirty the solar system is? It's not just 8 planets and a few comets. It's a cloud of countless rocks. There are several spots, such as Jupiter's lagrange points (or any planet's, really), where there are thick, periodic clusters of asteroids.
