- "In this case, we looked at variations in the brightness of a number of comparable stars in the DASCH database and found that many of them experienced a similar drop in intensity in the 1960's. That indicates the drops were caused by changes in the instrumentation not by changes in the stars' brightness."

Fascinating stuff, but it looks like we still lack a solid explanation for the Kepler data. The new study referenced in the article only seems to account for the historical dip in light intensity from the star. The asymmetric transient dips are still unique and unexplained. Still probably not aliens, but also still a mystery.

Oh! So EVERY stars shows a dip in light for the past 100 years. As our photographic equipment went better during that period, it could only mean one thing ..... We are the one being enclosed into a Dyson sphere.. slowly.. unwillingly.. by unknown entities!
