What is clear is that the astronomers want a new, bigger telescope.
Taxpayers on the hook for the future UFO missions. Let private sector fund these crazy missions. Oh wait, there is no actual benefit, so it has to be gubmint.
Well, Jesus did say he has other sheep in addition to the Jewish people (John 10 as I recall).
So, are they Martians? or have these nice scientists found them at this remote star? Jesus had someones in mind..... perhaps they were the Jewish seafarers who left Eilat in 632BCE for North America?
uh oh. I just Stepped In It Big Time, didn’t I? PLEEEEEZ don’t drag me into another attack on the LDS! I’m into astronomy tonight, if any folks wanna resurrect their barrages at Mormonism, please just go out in the back alley and throw your best punches at each other this time, okay? THANKS~

ps: it ain’t worth much but my opinion has always been that there just have to be some intelligent life forms SOMEWHERE in the universe, given the parcity of same here on Rock Three...

Me, too. Give it to ‘em.
No, they just want to point ones that are already built at this star.
What seems increasingly clear this is one strange star/object. Once it’s understood what they’re observing, it’s pretty mind bending to think about. If the data is correct, there has never been anything seen like this.
This helps explain.

“Straight away, we know we’re not dealing with a planet here. Even a Jupiter-sized planet only blocks roughly 1 percent of this kind of star’s light, and that’s about as big as a planet gets. It can’t be due to a star, either; we’d see it if it were. And the lack of a regular, repeating signal belies both of these as well. Whatever is blocking the star is big, though, up to half the width of the star itself!”
“Also, it turns out there are lots of these dips in the star’s light. Hundreds. And they don’t seem to be periodic at all. They have odd shapes to them, too. A planet blocking a star’s light will have a generally symmetric dip; the light fades a little, remains steady at that level, then goes back up later.”
