By the way are “they” always right? it is still early but here are some recent thoughts:
So what the hell was it then? The potential answers ranged from a mass of orbiting space junk, or an oddly shaped star, all the way to an alien-made, solar-energy-harvesting Dyson swarm and, as you can imagine, the latter resulted in a whole lot of public interest.
It also caused scientists from the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute to promptly point an array of 42 radio telescopes at the mysterious star, in order to look and listen for any signs of alien life.
“If astroengineering projects are really underway in the vicinity of KIC 8462852, one might reasonably expect the presence of spacecraft to service this activity. If these craft are propelled by intense microwave beams, some of that energy might manifest itself as broadband radio leakage.”
Well it has been two weeks and they haven’t detected any of these signs like radio leakage. Although that is a very brief time period. What do you think is there something there?
HERE IS THE UPDATE. There is a kickstarter to fund further study.

If they are so advanced we will proba ly hear nothing. Imagine a ww2 radio receiver trying to here out ultra high frequencies, with digital signals and encryptions. They would have no clue!
Couldn’t read it. Wouldn’t fit on the page and it wouldn’t let me move anything so I could see all of it.
Or…their transmissions are efficient and don’t just spray EM radiation in all directions like us.
There race went extinct a long long time ago. No more transmissions reaching us now.
Why share a post from November of last year and have it show up as a new post????
No sign of extraterrestrial life does not mean there’s no life forms. A toxic level of carbon dioxide in Earth atmosphere is poisonous to human but may be just a healthy dose to other extraterrestrials. Earth carbon dioxide level has breached 400 ppm – and is increasing. Human should start to be worried. Mega structures is a reality in an advance extraterrestrial civilisations. These mega structures – in all its geometry simplicity – are quite easy to construct – owing to a basic signature design of a L-shape complete built-up units – which would be auto re-assembled into a bigger structure in space.
Ofcourse theres no sign of life yet,these Extraterrestrial
Life Forms arent Stupid & wouldnt make it easy for the Human Race to find them as “The Human Race Is Not Ready For The Truth , Cause All We Would Do Is Start a War Between Us & Them !!!!”
