NASA’s Kepler Telescope has stumbled upon one of the most fascinating discoveries so far – a colossal artificial megastructure believed to have been constructed by an advanced alien civilization.
Besides Kepler’s ability of finding small, rocky worlds orbiting distant stars, it can also detect different space phenomenon like stellar flares, star spots and dusty planetary rings.
This time however, Kepler detected the signal of a supposed vast artificial structure orbiting a star only 1,500 light years away from Earth.
After finishing all plausible explanations, scientists now believe that this complex structure might be an artificial construction made by an advanced alien civilization way up on the Kardashev scale of comparison.
This megastructure works like a supersized solar array orbiting around its host star, stocking the energy and sending it back to the source. The size of the structure is so grand that it’s blocking a considerable fraction of starlight as it spins around its host.
Normally all the exoplanets discovered by Kepler have a typical planet-shape, meaning they are round. This time however, the telescope detected something that isn’t round and behaves unnatural.
A paper has been submitted to the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society in which a particular star named KIC 8462852 is described.
Over the duration of the Kepler mission, KIC 8462852 was observed to undergo irregulary shaped, aperiodic dips in flux down to below the twenty percent level.
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. – Tabetha Boyajian, researcher at Yale University
Studies mostly focused on two interesting anomalies at KIC 8462852, one that was recorded between days 788 and 795 of the Kepler mission and between days 1510 to 1570.
The first event showed a single transit causing a star brightness drop-off of 15 percent, while the second event manifested as a burst of several transits, possibly indicating towards mass of different objects, resulting in a brightness dip of up to 22 percent. For such a major dip in brightness to occure, the transiting objects have to be extremely big.
Considering that our galaxy has existed for more than 13 billion years, it’s not hard to imagine that an alien civilization may be out there, possessing technology that allows them to build megastructures around stars.
Aliens should always be the very last hypothesis you consider, but this looked like something you would expect an alien civilization to build. – Jason Wright, astronomer from Penn State University
After analyzing all possible situations, scientists concluded that this strange anomaly might be the result of a group of dormant comets recently disturbed by a nearby star. Because this theory is not all that convincing, other researchers are already hypothesizing the possibility of a mega-engineered project created by a Type 2 alien civilization on the Kardashev scale.
This type of aliens would have the ability to use all the available energy radiating from a star. With the help of a vast shell or series of rings surrounding a star, a Dyson sphere-like structure could be constructed. This would block out the star from sight in visible wavelengths, but once the solar energy has been utilized by the alien civilization, the energy would be shifted to longer wavelengths and probably lost as infrared radiation.
Puzzled by these strange recordings, scientists are now trying to point a radio antenna at KIC 8462852 in order to solve the riddle. By doing so, they will be able to detect any artificial radio signals coming from the star and will determine whether or not an intelligent, Type 2 civilization exists in our vicinity, only 1,500 light-years away.
Meanwhile, a second paper is being drafted by top researchers in order to analyze the transit scenario focusing around the possibility of a colossal artificial device engineered by advanced aliens.

Washington Post conjecture written as fact. Bottom line is, we don’t know either way yet – but if you think we are the only intelligent life form in an infinite Universe then you might just be mentally retarded, Marty.
At what point did I EVER imply I don’t think intelligent life exists elsewhere ? Your base and insulting comment didn’t even need to be said. Do you just want drama? If you do, you might be mentally retarded Savva
Could you have picked a more ironic article to post, “conjecture written as fact”, in the comments?!
Just wondering why it couldn’t be a really dense astroid belt around said star. Aka a planet that had been destroyed or a large moon
Thats no moon….
Yeah… I think you’re right…
Funny to see you here Malcolm!
Hey hey what a coincidence
Changed your name?
This battle station is indeed fully operational, as your friends are about to find out, Mwa hahaha
It’s aTRAP!!
I’m hurt. I had friends on that Death Star….
Me too! My friend was a contractor hired to install the station’s plumbing.
its a SPACESTATION! sorry i couldnt resist
Does it have the Death Star canteen
shit, i wish lol
…..its Halo
LOL
I see what you did there. Lol
No my friends it’s actually the earth 1000 years from now after we sent all the BS into orbit that we could between now and then
Believe its the size of the object that it would to take get readings they got to makes it very unlikely. The light dips were 15% & 22%. If you put Jupiter in front of this star the dip would only be 1%. Don’t believe there is any evidence of a rocky planet 22 times the size of jupiter and the star has been around long enough that that much debris would have formed into planet long ago.
A planet that large isn’t really feasible. But under its own gravitational compression, its physical size wouldn’t be that much bigger than Jupiter. Even a brown dwarf star, 75 times the mass of Jupiter, is only about 1 1/2 times its radius. So, it would be impossible for a planet or even a dozen Jupiter-size planets to block 15% and then 22% of the starlight (all transiting almost simultaneously, if that’s even possible) Something truly bizarre and unique is happening over there. Exciting!!
jupiter isnt even on the sun scale because it’s so small. please look at scales of all space objects because jupiter is literally nothing
This could be probable if it were a young star. This star isnt, and it’s gravitational field would have swallowed something that close in orbit to it long ago.
Because it’s not a young star. If it were a young star, that would be plausible but gravity would have swallowed the asteroid field.
The young star paradox is only true if our existing understanding of how stars form is accurate. But it may not be. In either case, we need more data to home in on what it is.
Short answer: It could. They don’t know. The alien megastructure was merely an idea thrown into the air, among other ideas.
Because of the irregular intermittency of the blockage of light. Something orbiting regularly, like a large moon, would eclipse on a regular pattern.
The amount of material needed to create even a plate of metal large enough to dim a star would be massive. a planet the size of jupiter traversing a star at Earth’s orbital distance might not even dim a star by 20%. To jump and say it’s an artificial structue is severe, but if it was correctly recorded, then it was definatly something happening. I would sooner believe it was something closer to us then something orbiting a distant star, and to jump and say it was a created structure is something that only UFO fanatics would do.
Haha, and Elvis, Bruce Lee and Michael Jackson are still alive. All sipping martinis every night, retired in the Bahamas.
Not artificial.
They have NOT dispensed with all the other explanations. Do you know why reasonable people don’t take this shit seriously? Because you have no honesty or scientific rigour. Just a sensationalist.
This is NOT TRUE YET. Although an alien structure is being higly considered, please do not report false information. This is potentially the most important discovery made ever. You should be ashamed of yourselves for knowingly mis informing the public about something so amazing in its own truth.
If true…it’s almost certainly a Dyson sphere.
Cool, this is the second time reading about this which gives me hope this isn’t some quack discover. I am fairly certain if the sources are correct then astronomers from Yale and such are not going to make such bombastic claims so lightly. Excited to see this unfold :-DDD
Pure bullcrap!
Sure looks like Halo to me.
I’m thinking Halo too… just in time for Halo 5.
omg ringworld predates and was the inspiration for halo
Halo’s more famous, though.
More interesting, too.
in ur dreams clown.
Agree to disagree. Books are great and all, but I much prefer having some degree of control over the story I’m immersing myself in, even if it is just thumb-sticking my way through it.
Ringworld required reading, you know books and things.
What about Molly Ringwald she’s making Acome back?
…………………STOP!
I thought the picture made it look more like the construction of the death star.
Can we please stop pretending advanced societies would use radio waves to communicate. Why not check for smoke signals while we are at it?
Would you rather we collect a large group of self-proclaimed psychics then? We’re not using the radio telescopes to communicate with potential alien objects, we’re using them to identify the objects. Everything in space either gives off or reflects a large amount of radio wave frequency radiation. If there was an advanced society out there that utilized light and heat energy on such a massive scale then the object gathering that energy would give off massive amounts of low frequency radiation.
I prefer carrier pigeon and Morse code.
IPoAC has the highest potential transfer rate of any communications technology to date.
Thank you for saying this so I didn’t have to.
Well.. we would be getting their communications from 1500+ years ago when they were less advanced. So it is possible. Also possible they never used radio waves. The further possible it is obsolete tech to them that they still transmit to cover all bases in their own search for alien life.
THANK YOU! Finally someone with a brain has realized that aliens who are ahead of the curve would use something far more advanced than radio waves.
I believe I read that the spacecraft we sent to Pluto sent back messages using laser. But that would be kind of hard to make out from the light of the distant sun. So I guess that the theorist are hoping the aliens are still using radio to communicate
I can feel your Halo 😉
Thanks Karen for such reply. It drives me MAD every time I hear about ” expecting radio signals from an advanced race millions of years more advanced” Really? How about a signal that could be hitting our planet for millions of years but we do not have the means of technology to pick it up and we still using Radio and digital. It’s just like the radio signal inventor trying to pick up digital in his time Lol
These advanced societies must have gone through the technological stage at some point and considering that we see/hear what they did thousands and millions of years ago what else would you be looking for?
Right? These astronomers are so deep in their own field of study that they suffer from tunnel vision. Quantum entanglement would be a more likely form of communication for civilizations travelling stellar distances. Think about it. If you sent someone a message across the galaxy, or universe, by the time it arrived it wouldn’t matter anymore, or at worst, there would be no one still alive to receive.
Scalar waves come to mind. Or possibly some other highly exotic means of communication we humans haven’t even dreamed of yet. Except maybe for Nikola Tesla..
Agreed! It’s akin to looking for carbon emissions from space-craft for the evidentuary value of something
I thought the same thing.
maybe NASA was so anxiuos to play Halo 5 that now they got in their heads into thinking s its an Artificial construct…maybe it is
Halo is less than the side of Earth and it’s hollow. It wouldn’t create a dip like this.
No but a dyspon sphere under construction might
Halo is a planet destroyer it is not less than the size* of Earth.
You might want to check out Halopedia.org
Earth diameter: 12,742 km
Installation 04: 10’000 km
Not to mention, Installation 04 is hollow (a big circle) so the surface area is less. AND it doesn’t destroy planets. It destroys sentient life (did you listen to 343 Guilty Spark in Halo CE?). The planet is still going to be there long after they fire.
Damn you hella pwned that guy. Little did he know you have a PHD in Halology lol
The structure in Halo was originally a habitation ring concept created by Iain M Banks for the Culture novels. But I doubt a hab would orbit a star. Even if they had some kickass shielding there is still a tremendous amount of radiation emanating from the star. Would they really be able to put up with that? Even if they were super evolved? I’d presume any Type 2 aliens are still not resistant to it.
That’s not to say it couldn’t be a ring of some sort. But I thought the original NASA post stated ‘vertical objects’ not a ring.
The orbiting structure is not where the aliens live, but in fact acts like a solar panel cultivating the energy and sending it elsewhere.
There are two possible uses for a dyson sphere, both of which can answer how radiation from the star wouldn’t be a problem for the aliens, besides the uses of the sphere there are even more explanations… First of all, one use of the sphere would for it to be simply a huge ball with the inside wall being a giant solar panel and the structure beams energy back to the home planet – so this wouldn’t allow radiation to effect the aliens in that way. Another way is EVEN IF they were living on the inside wall of the sphere, it wouldn’t matter because the dyson sphere would be as far away from the star as the home planet, so it would be the same amount of radiation as they are used to AND the dyson sphere could create an artificial electromagnetic field like the Earth does (except the Earth’s isn’t artificial obviously). It would simulate the effect of gravity by spinning horizontally and vertically – creating centrifugal force (which even makes this theory make more sense because the object is orbiting in irregular intervals – not a normal rotation, that’s why the amount of time for each dimming differed). Besides those – there is no reason that they wouldn’t be advanced enough to deal with the radiation directly, they could be another type of life, a highly evolved life, or even are only mechanical and robotic at their stage of evolution so they could survive the radiation at that distance no problem. If they are at the point where they can build a dyson sphere – that means INCLUDING ALL THE OBSTACLES THAT GO ALONG WITH IT. There would be many things that would need to be overcome in order for this to happen and this theory postulates that they are advanced enough that they have figured out a way to do all of those things – regardless of if we think it’s possible or not. So even if we didn’t have an explanation (which we have many) it could still be possible, and if we have enough direct, observable, and compelling evidence then it’s up to us to understand how.
A WELL THOUGHT OUT INTERESTING COMMENT. amazed.
I so love this discussion
actually a habitation ring is a good theory, i’m assuming if they are advanced enough for a structure like this then they could find a way to combat any issues the sun were to cause. there are actually a couple reasons they might do this, their planet could possibly(if their planet were to share this attribute with our planet) be going into and extreme ice age, or their planet could be dyeing, also, possibly like ours eventually. in the face of either of these situations they may have failed to find another inhabitable planet (was either too cold or much too hot, or any number of reasons) and instead made a habitation ring.
Yeah, it’s obviously Forerunner in origin.
the pictures are NOT what the telescope saw guys, the pictures are just art. all the telescope picked up was slight dimming of the star on multiple occations
this is why we should have been focused on science education in the 80’s because now i think it may be too late for america. it has just bread too many dumb asses who talk before they even understand.
“it has just BREAD too many dumb asses”
Oh the irony.
OMG thas two funny fer werds your write ( although I do agree with the statement however poorly presented)
Wait…
Oh the many autocorrect mishaps. BFD
or post before they even read….wow!!
and NOBODY tied to any official organization studying this has said that it IS a structure. The guys studying this got together and began hypothesizing any and all possibilities. This one came up because it is one of a hundred possibilities, but far from likely. Until you run into the nuts who are completely changing the story like on this site and claiming it to be true.
My thoughts
No shit. Like Republicans who have continued to deny science, lower or remove funding from so many educational systems.
1,500 lights years away, it would take the same time for any visual image via a telescope to reach us, NASA hasn’t even been around for 100 years. This story is a load of rubbish.
Ring World?
I hope they come soon and take away every nuclear weapon on earth away with them.
If they came here they probably wouldn’t feel the need to do anything to or with us.
If they can create a super structure of that magnitude, and travel 1,500 light-years in an amount of time where nuclear weapons are still a big deal to us, to them we’d be like apes are to us. If even.
more like bacteria.
I say we send a message to a SUPERIOR RACE to come visit us and do what we say or we’ll kick their ass. Yeah, that should work out just fine. We need to straighten out our own earth problems before we stick our nose in alien worlds!
Kitties. Space Kitties. I for one, welcome our fluffy overlords…
#halo real
Did this author imply that comets, something proven to exist, causing this is unplausible, IN favor of history channels ALIENS did everything bs. Yea, this author just took a nice massive dump on the logic of occums razor…. COMETS!? IN SPACE!? OMG YOU GUYS THATS PROOF OBAMA is a reptile, would be just a convincing a statement as this article.

Its not a mega structure or aliens. Misconstrued information taken from a source, bunch of morons
http://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2015/10/the-most-interesting-star-in-our-galaxy/410023/
In depth info for any one who cares! http://arxiv.org/pdf/1509.03622v1.pdf
Wonder how long theyve been there
well the planet is 1500 light years away, so the images of that object were sent 1500 years ago and just arriving now, just imagine, when the Roman empire fell, and the chinesse version of toilet paper was first mentioned, these aliens already had Ginormagantuan space structures harnessing the power of a star
Its funny if you believe this is proof of artificial intelligence. All they can see from that distance is a star, and a ring that blocks some of the light from the star. Thats it. They dont have a telescope near the star to tell you what it is, and they never will. Im afraid this is as controversial as it gets. You will not have any new evidence on the matter.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wUtRzP6hD0
Seems unlikely this is true.
Cite your sources or I call bullshit
This is all true. I met an alien once. He told me “you humans should s.t.f.u. more”. I don’t know what ‘stfu’ means though, is it alien code?
This article needs a “Jump To Conclusion” mat, because it did.
they discovered something dimming the star by an irregular amount every 800 days, amongst MANY other theory’s one guy said it COULD be artificial………..
suddenly its ALIENS HAVE BEEN FOUND OMG OMG OMG….
talk about jumping the fkin gun,
This is so fake
Hello Everyone,
I think that it could be an interstellar transfer station. This could be one of many strewn around the galaxy.
Makes all the problems on planet earth pale in comparasin .
Kepler have a typical planet-shape,
meaning they are round This time however the telescope detected
something that isn’t round and behaves unnatural.
The beginnings of a Dyson sphere when the beings building it ran out of funding?
guys it is an artist’s interpretation. all the telescope sees is an irregular mass. it MIGHT be of an alien design. but if there was anything as clear as this do you think you could turn on the tv and it not be blasted all over it. wow.
Lies! It’s the Ark!
Hold up a minute, though.
Occam’s Razor is a tool of logic that tells us that, when we have more than one explanation for something we observe, we should regard those explanations that do not require us to postulate something never observed before as more likely to be correct than those explanations that do require us to believe in something we’ve never seen before.
The example I like to give to illustrate Occam’s Razor is this: let’s say you and I are roommates, and one day you buy a six-pack of your favorite beer for yourself and put it in the fridge. You go to work the next morning, and work all day, thinking of how much you’ll enjoy that beer when you get home. . . but when you get home, there’s only one beer left in the refrigerator, and five empty bottles in the trashcan. The door was locked, there’s no other easy way in, and the lock does not appear to have been tampered with.
So what happened? There are many possible explanations for what you have observed:
Maybe an expert burglar is at large who comes and goes without leaving any trace of his entry/exit, and who only steals beer, and drinks it at the scene of the crime.
Maybe aliens teleported into our apartment, filled a container of some kind with as much beer as it would hold, and took it back to their spacecraft for later analysis. . . and somehow, they knew what a trashcan is and used it appropriately.
Maybe Jesus doesn’t want you to drink beer, and He magicked five of them empty and put the bottles in the trash, but left one because He loves you.
MAYBE I am kind of an asshole, and I drank your beer.
The first three explanations require us to do what Occam called “multiplying entities unnecessarily.” In other words, we have imagined entities or forces that we have never observed, in order to explain what we have observed, i.e. the missing beer.
The fourth explanation requires no such unnecessary multiplication of entities. You know I exist; you know I have access (’cause I live with you); you know I like beer (actually, I don’t drink, but in this thought-experiment I do); you know I’m kind of an asshole.
Thus, by far the most likely explanation is that I DRANK YOUR BEER, not that it was aliens or Jesus or a really weird burglar.
Similarly, this story about “alien megastructures” is ignoring the fact that there are many mundane explanations that can account for what Kepler is observing. . . maybe that star system is just unusually crowded with dust and debris, as from a planetary collision in its recent past, for instance. It COULD be an alien megastructure; that possibility exists. However, the sane, sober mind turns to Occam, and concludes that it probably isn’t.
Funny! Thanks for the read!
Once fully built it will begin to move the star itself and will be the actual DEATH STAR times billions in size…..
The start of a Dyson Sphere?
I hope you people are all aware that this story is entirely made up. As cool as it would be, this did not happen. Stop being so damn gullible.
” The Lord’s working, so the Humans keep beleiveing their fantasies “.
i think the real question is, if it is an actual alien race do we really want to contact someone who’s building a deathstar?
could be a forming planet. I’ve often thought about the possibility of planets starting of as star-like bodies that attract enough debris over billions of years until they’re encased. Pretty loose theory but it isnt outside the realm of possibilities
The first thought that occurred to me when I started reading this was “Probably a Dyson Sphere.”
What a bunch of pseudo-scientific nonsense.
This site also deletes comments that don’t mirror what they preach.
This is fake. NASA has made no comment on anything of the such on their official feed of the Kepler mission
It’s probably a global Walmart.
We may have discovered alien life, yet all the Americans on here want to talk about is their debt?
You really are too small minded to survive aren’t you?
Plot twist: It’s space debris orbiting a star, being seen from long ago.
“”round and behaves unnatural””
*Unnaturally.
It’s called an adverb, notice how you are attempting to describe how it acts, an action, therefore you would need to conjugate it to make it grammatically correct.
Or you could say “…round and behaves in an unnatural manner”, but I guess that would also be a bit similar to building a massive solar array around a sun in complexity.
Anyway, that was so bad that it prevented me from finishing the article, so thanks for that, I’ll go and find one in English to read about it.
Nope, nope, nope.
Is there a video news feed so I can watch it too then read yes reading has more information then video but how public is this theory
Check out Project Blue Beam – false projected holograms:
http://www.thewatcherfiles.com/bluebeam.html
I need verification on this
Come on guys, thats a horribly misleading headline. They still need more data to confirm what it is (I hope its alien in origin).
If it’s that advanced they’ll at least have Nando’s. Right?
This blog post should have a disclaimer stating that it’s a fictionalized account of a real news report. Even your headline makes leaps that would leave Michael Jordan jealous.
Reading these comments makes me realize just how dumb I really am
I suspect this article may be jumping to crazy unfounded conclusions without any actual evidence at all to back up what it is saying.
Death Star
Well they’re not going to tell you 100%, but they just found out that the Aliens are actually trying to keep Earth at Bay, meaning they provide our Energy Surfacing Around the Earth. I guess the Gov wants to tell us as much as we would find out.
Stargate
You assholes sure do abuse the freedom of the internet by claiming this is “news.” You also need to learn how to write.
It’s amazing how a post stating “we’ve found vertical structures near a star” gets turned into “alien sun farming structure found!”
Lol. The internet.
Everybody here is so caught up in their own thing that no one makes a comment on how well done these graphics are.
this article about it is much better http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2015/10/14/weird_star_strange_dips_in_brightness_are_a_bit_baffling.html
“scientists now believe that this complex structure might be an artificial construction made by an advanced alien civilization” no, this was made by a UNadvanced alien civilzation. duh why would you print something this UNintelligent.
This is so exciting.
WHERE ARE THE PICTURES
GET SOME PICTURES UP IN HERE
I WANNA SEE PICTURES
SHOW US YOUR DATA
A possible monolithic structure build around a star by a possible alien civilization and ya’ll are arguing about debt and Obama……lmfao
Yeah Okay. Totally seems Legit.
“GUYS! HOLY SHIT! WE MAY ACTUALLY HAVE FOUND ALIENS FOR REAL!” “Hold on, we want to bicker over pointless human issues in the comments.”
Screw it, hey aliens if you’re listening in here, go ahead and destroy us, okay?
Stunning the Lack of any REAL Photos.
Why you post retarded shit like this, when kepler’s mission and info is right there on the Nasa’s website for everyone to read, and to the people who look at the images and think this is real, I can only say one thing… omfg! Seriously guys get yourselves checked in, at a mental institute ASAP. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/kepler/main/index.html
“Scientists now believe that this complex structure MIGHT be an artificial construction made by an advanced alien
civilization way up on the Kardashev scale of comparison.”
Note the presence of the might in that sentence. Yet you have changed it to “NASA finds alien structure! Interwebs confirms it’s true!”
Artistic license going a bit far there isn’t it Side?
I heard that type 2 aliens could be cured with cinnamon.
There is no evidence that the dimming is not caused by natural process. More investigation is required before you can say definitively what the objects are.
The Kepler data is in the attached image.
Although I am just as excited as the next person at the possibility these readings were caused by sentient beings, they were almost certainly caused by natural objects.
This is still not a disappointment though, as we haven’t been looking at the right place at the right time to detect events like this before so that is a nice first!
LOL…lots of armchair Stephen Hawkings on this thread.
It is far from a Dyson Sphere that is a Dyson Ring an amazing feat for any species capable of things that would be seen as magic to us. We might dread the day such aliens revive our telecommunication information as there is a good chance these more advanced life forms may not like what they see and come to purge us from existence but we are far more likely going to destroy ourselves long before messages make this far out.
But… can you get wifi out there?
dyson sphere?
I was wondering when someone would be all like “omg UFO’s r real!” about this news. It’s like the news about gravitational waves proving inflation all over again. The news report says “large superstucture” and is yet undetermined. The universe is huge, other life IS out there, but its still very rare. There’s every chance that it’s something we’ve never seen before. It could be an advanced civilization, or it could be something entirely new. Problem is Kepler doesn’t have the resolution to determine what it is, it only knows that the star in question has a strange dimming pattern.
Mass effect is real son !
All this info was taken out of context lol
So… Death Star?
Aaaaand the Ufologists are finally online. I wondered what took them so long, they usually are on these discoveries like flies on shit, on day 1. Just so they can sensationalize things completely out of proportions.
Dr’s find kid’s on bikes orbiting for activity filled mobility and fun, exercise and human life supporting, advancements in physical medicine.

Human’s that came from monkey’s cannot understand it! …… Alien’s Attempt to help them understand as a test of their possibly being human.www.tridynamic.com
That means we are looking at an image from 1500 years ago…
Are they extincted yet?
Seriously guys? You’d have to cannibalize an entire solar system to build a ring world or Dyson sphere. That kind of industrial power would have that solar system shining like a lighthouse with radio emissions and heat plumes.
I hate it when they make the titles of articles so misleading like that… The whole thing is still in speculation; they are still trying to find out what it is. Yet, the title is worded as if they have already found out that it is indeed alien. It had me excited, just to knock my excitement back down when I realized it was just the same shit I’ve already read ten times now…
Could you imagine if all the “scientists” pulled their head out of their butt at the same time how big of a noise that would make.
This article is sensationalist nonsense. It’s just meant to titillate UFO enthusiasts.
They didn’t discover anything other than an irregular series of dips in the light from the star. The source of interference could be anything – dust, comets, a protoplanetary accretion disc… The overwhelming chances are that it’s not an alien structure.
Read this if you want a take on the findings that’s actually sober and scientific.

Although Tridynamic/Tridynamics with I.D.E.A technology is not exactly the very best alien technologies, They say if understood by humans, they are expected to deliver more knowledge that will change the world humans, and those ( evolved ) related to primates for the good……..
I FEEL LIKE THE DUM SHI HOT GUY THAT DATES PENNY ON BANG BANG THOERY AND U GUYS ARE ALLL LIKE LENNORD “SUP BRO LOL ” THATS HOW I FEEL WHEN I READ THESES COMMENTS
Ok and that means what their still to far away.
God this website is so stupid and sensationalist.
No reputable scientist actually thinks this is some artificial structure.
So, we’re looking at an advanced Alien structured from 1500 years ago… if they were type II at the time, what are they now? If a Civilization is utilizing that much energy… I would be wary. They may come looking for more; as Habitable planets and Solar Systems are the “Unicorns” of the Universe. I’m going to assume that we are looking at this from a Militaristic standpoint as well, IF that is REALLY what they speculate it is.
Wow, what a leap … “a colossal artificial megastructure believed to have been constructed by an advanced alien civilization” That’s NOT what they found… “After examining the options, the researchers concluded the best fit might be a shattered comet that continued to fragment into a cascade of smaller comets.” and ” Even Wright admits that the “alien hypothesis” should be seen as a last resort. ” So, let’s a ignore science (cuz we all now how hard science can be), put on our irresponsible reporting hats and jump to conclusions.
Totally misleading! The scientists involved clearly said the explanation that the orbiting object is artificial is “extremely” unlikely.
That’s no moon..er.. star..
And then the destruction of man came because of scientists snooping around pointing telescopes at planets that could trace other life back to where it was being traced from 🙂 You heard it here first, just saying. http://thegoatfreak.tumblr.com/post/123205557000/let-us-not-forget-the-man-who-died-to-give-us-our “For lol’s just kidding.” Interesting stuff.
Oh and cheers to all of you and your welcome, since your reading this and whatnot, assuming your into this space stuff 🙂 Im going to share this with you, your all talking about Halo, try this on for size 😉 https://robertsspaceindustries.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FF-ewiwmhs 🙂
this feels like it was written by someone who has no idea how science works and just read a similar article on IFLS that states this is a highly unlikely but plausable theory for an unknown anomally detected in a star
It’s a shame that grammatical and spelling errors as well as the HUGE lack of links to credible sources discredit this story . 🙁
Dyson Sphere or Ringword?
I just checked in Elite: Dangerous. System does not exist! 😛
Really, the Kardashev scale? Isn’t that the scale used to compare your girls butt to one of the Kardashians?
Right. Sure. Totally believable.
They’ll find Elvis, Jimmy Hoffa, Amelia Earhart, and the Lindberg baby, DB Cooper and Malaysia flight 370 riding in an alien craft.
Brace yourselves The DeathStar is on it’s way D:
This damn Sites should be closed
i work at NASA and this Site is so Fake.
you people need to get a real job and not make up stuff….
To the people who immediately make pop culture reference after reading this article: you are the concussion of culture.
Halo?…or the beginnings of a Dyson Sphere? 🙂
Um, no it didn’t. See http://www.theatlantic.com/…/the-most…/410023/
– the first and still the most sane report. In the original scientific
paper thwey don’t even mention an alien structure as a possibility.
Still, though, there is SOME kind of weird shit orbiting this star and
even if it’s natural it will teach physicists a thing or two.
As for ‘in our vicinity’, well that depends how close you think 1500 light-years is…
This article is not factual and is sensationalized at best. The scientists are not claiming there are structures or that there are aliens there. It was just a “what if”. Of course the click bait articles crop up like weeds.
No, no they haven’t. There is no evidence to support aliens
LOL – what would the point be of a continuous loop structure be? Tidal/gravitational forces would probably destruct that structure anyway, and it would have to be spinning so fast to overcome its own mass. Getting it moving in the first place would be incredible. And the mass necessary for it would have to come from many thousands of entire planets’ worth. How/why would anyone/thing go to the effort to move that much mass into place?
Yeah, so believable…especially when a “Yale scientist” or whoever wrote this article can’t spell “irregularly.” “Irregulary?” hahaha.
F’ing Berserkers home world! Knew it was only a matter of time. Be very careful with those radio dishes. Don’t want them to come here.
Lol, nice try. You can find the origin of this in a Sci-Fi novel called “Ringworld”.
Where is the real picture?
I love how 90% of debate on life forms ASSUMES that all alien life that could exist is similar to our life. I read the comment that it could be a habitation ring and the debate revolved around radiation being fatal at those distances.
Nobody stopped to think that MAYBE an alien life form uses radiation as their form of life energy such as plants use the energy from our sun for photosythesis. So it could very well be habitable without radiation shielding.
Or that only planets in the “habitable zone” could foster life. Yes life as we perceive it but that does not counter the fact that we do not know everything. Due to the human ego we disregard everything that doesn’t fit into our frame of view.
That being said, putting rules on something we don’t fully understand, although comforting to many, can potentially limit our future understanding of other life
It looks like something hanging around uranus.
Can’t believe SCIENTISTS are actually hypothesizing aliens are responsible for this dip in luminosity. Aliens… really? That’s the best you can come up with? At least the asteroid hypothesis makes the most sense. The universe is IMMENSE, we’ve observed crazy stuff going on out there from supernovae, black holes and quasars. All we are observing is a drop in luminosity, there could be any kind of natural phenomena explaining this that we have not yet observed, and, since this is the first time we’ve observed this ever happening, we’ll likely figure it out and laugh at ourselves for thinking it was aliens.
This civilization, may be extinct now, the 1500 yr ago pictures may be of our ancestry. A home that we left 2,200 years ago or even 64000000 million yrs ago to re-colonize a new beginning, for us that was perfect timing
Must be some dust ,or dirt on the lens ?? They would never inform if that is what it was
And now I know which shitty page to avoid for it’s incredible misleading titles.
I hope people read more than one article on this. This is such a one sided article.
1.) We don’t know what the structure looks like
2.) We have NOT exhausted all options and we ARE NOT leaning towards aliens.
It must be true if they have a drawing in color. :/
I’m just here for the witty comments.
And next you are going to tell me is that a civilization which could create such a structure couldn’t or wouldn’t simulate us? Right…

Unlikely it is an alien megastructure AKA Dyson’s Sphere
A Dysonsphere wow! Peace on earth…so we also can do something productive!
Misleading article. Shameful media spin. At no point have any credible scientists confirm that they suspect this to be artificial — at most, it’s been suggested that such a possibility is not entirely implausible.
Is responsible journalism too much to ask for?
Truth in Journalism evades the scientific world too! They need to put up fancy artwork to get our attention? Please… I think it’s great that we’re exploring outer space, don’t lure me in with science fiction. That’s why we have conspiracy people running around saying the moon landing was faked. Now, I’m going to go see the New Star Wars movie! lol
This probably turn out to be an irregularity of a sun with many moon satellites orbiting around it. Still, it’s not a bad project to consider if you would like to harvest energy from the top and bottom of the sun. Maybe this was an alien civilization’s idea of a “star ship” experiment? Just send the ring on over to a choice planetary moon once it fills up, and move the barren planet a little nearer to the sun around Earth.
I cant believe someone wrote this article. Total bullshit. They found a abnormal dimming of a star. Come on people lol
Facts.. you’re over exaggerating in this article by many. 1.0 not 2. Nothing was concluded yet. And you left out the telescope aray that’s pointing at the star looking for singles.
Here comes the men in black!
The title of this article is both a lie and click bait for a piece of crap site. There has been no structure discovered. They dont even have data back yet from the ground telescopes pointed at it. If you are that desperate for clicks, then put something factual and actually interesting on your site.
This article is such complete bull shit
This article is a joke right?
Ringworld!
Talking about a theory as a fact tells a lot about this article
even in the unlikely event that it is aliens what would our next move even be?
Haha.. discovered a artificial structure?? Omg, you people have to learn how to read news, it’s still unknown structure, probby a cloud of commets or whatsoever but this is all unknown, it could even be a mega fart by Atlas who tells?? The only thing they know that there are some objects which are blocking light from some star, nothing more, nothing less. Why do you make a headline like this?? Hopefull journalism if you ask me
Proof or it never happened.
NASA / KEPLER MISSION is receiving that has happened 1500 years ago. NASA is still to make sure / confirm about that artificial structure. It may be understood from witnesses’ record of UFOs sightings that aliens of space in space-vehicles visit earth. A highly advance level of unmatched technology makes aliens from space fearless & ignoring entire human civilization on earth.
They use this structure to collect energy from stars so ships can do a jump in space, they should do like 3 or 4 jumps to get earth, maybe 20 or 30 years at Max they will be nocking our doors.
The title of this article is completely irresponsible.
wait wait , the telescope detected a massi object sized half of the star , and some scientist said theat it might be an alien structure couse they can’t figure what that thing is , and if there is some races superior than us that can be plausibile
Your headline was all I needed to read to be certain that the rest of the story would be just that – a story. NASA haven’t found, or claimed to have found anything of the sort, but hey, let’s not let stuff like facts get in the way. Then we move to the comments section – where we have a perfect example of what happens when people who will believe anything they see on facebook or some dumb conspiracy site are allowed access to the internet.
If there are indeed aliens out there, the chances are they’ll have taken one look at the inhabitants of this planet and decided we’re not worth the bother of educating.
Hack the universe 😉
People if some of you cannot use your grey cells- at least use google! Radio telescope is an astronomical instrument consisting of a radio receiver and an antenna system that is used to detect radio-frequency radiation emitted by extraterrestrial sources.
They have managed to prove that in quantum physics making a change to a paired particle will instantly effect the same change to the other particle regardless of distance. I would say that that is a likely better method of communication for a more advanced species… Just saying
Looks like gundam
Jumping to conclusions much? What a dumb site
I hope it’s not an alien civilization, obama will want to send it foreign aid!
well; if GOP and white trash religious ( see: VOODOO) have their way the aliens will have to tithe -tax free– and believe in JEEEE$U$ while being told to become white
What a completely moronic response!
seems parody and sarcasm continue to elude white trash regressives such as thee. please enjoy my factu https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bfa0aa8d97b204330f799e533c2cd8ede92fe3c451e7e0f090b4f16f8a9c17ba.jpg al meme
or dust
The most important thing is that our collective consciousness accepts the possibility that there is other intelligent life in the universe. This changes how we see the universe and how we see ourselves and our place in the universe.
This article reeks of fetid ignorance.
You concluded too soon, didn’t you? What they said was “it looked like it might be…..” Not that it was an artificial structure. And now they find it’s not.
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Arthur C. Clarke
If this truly is an Alien construction then for them traveling 1,500 light years to this world of ours should not be a problem. In fact with there technology it would be a cinch.
Wake him up god dammit! We need him!
We are still in the ‘Dark Age’ on the existence of Unknown Entities in Space that are not ‘alien’ to our Universe, from the beginning. These Entities ‘UNO’, and can’t be typed,…..humans on the technology scale are type 0, we have no control of the environment (**) or no methods of eliminating pollution on Earth, or our Atmosphere. These Entities from ‘The Beginning’, there was no ‘big bang’, created Constructs of ‘Virtual Space’ and the grapevine of Galaxies ‘core power source’, where black holes do not exist,…..stars, planets, comets, and asteroids are Xmas decoration in the Universe to control and experiment with to maintain balance. “Reality is a Construct” Nasa’s Hubble, a Astrophysicist, in his red-shift analysis determined that Galaxies were moving away faster than the speed of light, impossible, which mean they are Cops that set the speed zone and control all Planets objects in the Universe. Unknown Entities exist in our Space and Universe, as of 2015. (HDx Visual evidences exist @ Cufox_youtube.com or G+). *This is not a promotion “Just the Truth” and “Trust your Eyes”

Nice Headline.
Dyson Sphere???
The assumption that a space faring species would use radio waves to communicate is a flawed idea. Mexican Physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994 came up with equations for traveling faster than light by the indirect method of bending space. NASA recently built a model of his space bending machine design and it did slightly bend space. ET traveling faster than light by bending space, warp speed, would not use radio waves, a slow method of communication.
I’m with Jack on this one. And I’m pretty sure his pretentious attitude was a direct result of some twit’s remarks that “we stop pretending ” that E.T. will communicate via radio waves. Inadvertent each eavesdropping on communication may prove far more valuable than any interpretation the bozo’s with whom we trust first contact. Baby Jesus please, don’t let it be the Americans.
I’m sure there are multiple different species, races, etc out in the universe I’m sure there are different forms of technology and elements and resources out in the universe. To think that WE are the only life in the universe is just plain ridiculous. We haven’t even figured out our own planet and the life forms it contains. It’s simply arrogant to assume that the only life and intelligence that exists in space is US. I don’t know if it’s fear, ignorance, or stupidity, but wake up people.
I think it is just a mega conglomeration of debris around the star after a huge catastrophy. Destruction or colision of two or more giant rocky planets or a mass drestruction of many and all the debris is floating unevenly around the star until it settles in a couple of million years. Nothing alien but something rare. Maybe something similar happened to our asteroid belt, saturn rings or even the Kuiper belt
This is still merely conjecture at this point. There is no actual conclusive evidence to support this being artificial in origin. There are several distinct theories about what this may be. Hold off on putting on your tin-foil hats just yet peoples! I want it to be aliens as much or more than anyone, but more importantly, I want evidence either way!
other researchers are already hypothesizing the possibility of a mega-engineered project created
This is a far cry from the title in terms of certainty. This is why you nutjob UFO freaks are never taken seriously.
all the idiots are millenials and their professors
