Its ridiculous how blind and gimped we are in the current state of the technology. The whole galaxy could be dancing the macarena on a billion channels and we'd be completely oblivious.
eh, we're a primitive species still. most of the major scientific discoveries that have allowed for our current level of technology came about within the last 100 years. it's very early yet!

Well at least it's better than SETI scanning all of space for weird stuff with those telescopes. By claiming that aliens might be responsible, that astronomer basically recruited SETI to do some research. for playing the aliens card.

Boyajian recently published a paper on the star that looked to outline the possible causes for what made it so unique. However, by its conclusion, it had discounted many of them.
Boyajian, alongside a number of co-authors, wrote in her work, “In this paper, we describe various scenarios to explain the mysterious events in the Kepler light curve, most of which have problems explaining the data in hand.”
It continues, “By considering the observational constraints on dust clumps orbiting a normal main-sequence star, we conclude that the scenario most consistent with the data in hand is the passage of a family of exocomet fragments, all of which are associated with a single previous breakup event.”
Quote:
Jason Wright, who is an astronomer over at Penn State University, looked at the data and then formed his own opinion, which revolves around extraterrestrials.

The article said pretty much every explanation available was self-admitted desperate speculation from the astronomers involved. Crying alien got one astronomer access to a fancy radio telescope to get better data about what's happening, and that's a good thing. You guys are all haters. It might be aliens, or a bunch of rocks, or something else.
