Does this change your opinion?

The famous megastructure star is still hotly debated.  Although we usually reserve opinions and just give the data, in this case it seems way too early to be sure about a formation that has just been discovered in 2015.  Many of course will cling to the notion that this dyson sphere could not be the result of extraterrestrials because that is a scary thought.  Here is a bit more on the latest study in the nay camp:

Breaking: That thing that scientists suggested could maybe possibly be aliens (but that they said probably wasn’t aliens) continues to not be aliens, as expected.

Star KIC 8462852 caused quite a kerfuffle when scientists noted its unusual flicker. To make a long story short, the Kepler Space Telescope checks out distant exoplanets by monitoring the dimming of their host stars. A star dims a certain way (at least from Earth’s perspective) when a planet is passing in front of it. KIC 8462852 had a flicker to be sure, but not any kind that scientists had seen before, ergo maybe aliens???

In a paper submitted to The Astrophysical Journal Letters, researchers report a failure to detect laser pulses from the strange star. So if there are aliens, they’ve been incredibly quiet on all fronts — probably too quiet, considering they’re meant to have built a Dyson Sphere around their star.

Ok so because “the aliens” should they have made this would assumed to be pointing laser beams at us intentionally.  And, since that is not happening, they have deduced that the structure is not a result of aliens.  This may be somewhat of an oversimplification.  Feel free to comment,
