I find this story very interesting, maybe it's the lack of our own knowledge about the space that makes this star very mysterious, maybe it is not mysterious at all.

or

We’d never seen anything like this star,” says Tabetha Boyajian, a postdoc at Yale. “It was really weird. We thought it might be bad data or movement on the spacecraft, but everything checked out.”

While reading the article i had this thought in my head, it would not surprise me if that or something mere earthly was the source to this.

Last time they found a very mysterious signal...well wasn't it their Microwave oven who was the guilty one ?

To be fair, nobody bothered to check the Microwave oven for signs of intelligent life, so we could well have missed our first contact there. :hmmm:

Often after a night on the drink I rely on that 'intelligent life' to sort my supper out :)

it´s a bit far away, about 1400 years light.

if they are looking to the earth they will see the planet , but 1400 years ago, and our signals would take a lot to reach the star.

We are pretty safe by now. :hmmm:

Frankly, my theory on why aliens don't show themselves here is that they are naked little green men with size issues--

Brings to mind an old boss of mine who was a Star Trek fan. When ST:Voyager added 7 of 9 to the cast, he made the comment it was wonder the male Federation crew members took one look at her and didn't just start screaming out "Assimilate me!, assimilate me!"...
