Default The Most Mysterious Star in Our Galaxy

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.

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.

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.
