    Not true. Denny saw a space bird catch a galactic fish.

    Imagine if we discovered that's what was going on, and how that would absolutely change humanities perspective of who we are. Not even being able to fathom how that kind of technology works. But it's kind of crazy because we already understand a lot of things that would take place if you were to create a planet. We can simulate environments to grow plants, we can take DNA and implant it into other cells, we can cause nuclear reactions to generate energy...

    In October 2015, Yale astronomers published a study that found that the star KIC 8462852 had light patterns consistent with unusual large orbiting masses, which could indicate aliens. The masses near KIC 8462852 aren’t consistent with its age, leading scientists to believe they appeared around the star fairly recently. The star is 1481 light years from Earth.

    The dense megastructures near the star are similar to a “Dyson sphere.” In 1960, a scientist named Dyson hypothesized that in order to harvest maximum energy from the Sun, humans might someday surround the Sun with solar panels.

    In October, the best naturalistic explanation was that a huge mass of comets orbits the star, creating dust to dim the light. In mid-January 2016, a new analysis rendered that hypothesis implausible, finding that the unprecedented dimming has continued for over a century. The latest study estimates that the dimming would require 648,000 giant comets of 125 miles in diameter all aligned to pass in front of the star. The chances of such a formation render it essentially impossible. There is currently no scientific explanation for what is going on with KIC 8462852.

    If you knew 3 months ago that the aliens are coming, why haven't you been warning us? The situation is even worse than I thought.

    Your thread was from October 15, when I was sleeping on a buggy floor in Virginia, spending little time on this message board, so I missed most threads. Thanks for reminding me of how glad I am to be back in freezing cold, bug-free Bellingham. Now when I itch, I immediately eliminate bugs as a cause and move right into the aliens hypothesis.

    You don't think they have long range itch technology do you? I actually just had to scratch my head while writing this.

    I can't tell if you're being sincere or you just reported all of us to the NSA.
