Mega structure found

RE: Mega structure found
I'm skeptical as well. The leap from "bizarre structures" to "alien civilization" seems foundless.

RE: Mega structure found
I saw this earlier in the day. It's such an unusual situation. The strongest theory so far to explain the data is that another star passed very close to the system and disrupted a shit-load of comets which are causing the data. I wonder about an unknown stellar phenomena related to sunspots causing the unusual light dip. I mean a 15% and 22% drop? It would take two dozen Jupiters to do that or thousands of comets if a natural phenomena or something like a Dyson Sphere if it's artificial. Whatever it is, it's VERY unusual.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Do you suppose that is where planet Kolob is?

It could simply be a rogue asteroid field between us and KIC 8462852. Depending on the location, small objects can obscure large. Our moon covers the sun.

Possible but extremely improbable. Of course when the situation is so bizzare even the scientists entertain the alien explanation, not much is going to be ruled out.

How could you know that?  

how could you recognize a civilization when you can't even spell it!?!

RE: Mega structure found
The situation is bizarre, but I'd be more inclined to consider the possibilities in this order: instrument/measurement fault of some sort; a planetary collision or rogue asteroid field or some other naturally occurring debris from some epic-scale disaster; and finally an unknown mega-structure of some sort.
