    A KIC 8462852 (dipping again in March 2018)

    Hmmm..I see. Incredible is the word indeed, thanks. Could the whole star system be wobbly on it's axis and have a disk perhaps? I know it sounds insane, but all of the other theoretical options sound 'incredible'.

    B Newly Discovered Trans-Neptunian Dwarf Planet

    Once a planetary disk develops instabilities, orbits become elliptical and entropy in the system increases. Objects mostly end up being launched to the outer edges of the solar system or are simply tossed out. Gravitational capture or collision are statistically unlikely and bigger objects are...

    A KIC 8462852 (dipping again in March 2018)

    2 dips are not exactly a pattern now is it? And the amount of light being blocked favors one or more smaller objects much closer to home, in terms of probability. Wouldn't 2 rocks in our own solar system be way more likely?
