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.

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

Now if we can just find a way to not kill ourselves as a species for 7 billion years or so....
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.

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 =(

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!
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.
