Recently, a group of amateur astronomers named, “Planet Hunters”, used publicly available data gathered by NASA's Kepler Telescope to search for other planets like Earth. They soon discovered a bizarre planet that had an unusual flickering pattern, meaning something is happening to it that makes it dim then brighten.

Many astronomers believe that this could result in extraterrestrial activity and could be a sign of “massive alien structures”. It was later said that this information was confirmed and had been sent to SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), who now are on the case of this infrequent planet. SETI ordered more telescopes to study the area and to scan it for radio waves. Scientists are still not sure if what’s happening with the star is a natural occurrence, but the thought of alien activity have not been ruled out just yet. …show more content…

If what has been said is true, then this information can prove that aliens do exist and that it can affect the theories of our past. Consequently, it can also mean there is a whole other universe out there that carries life, which would be a huge discovery for NASA and other companies. As their research continues, we’re getting a step closer to knowing the truth behind the bizarre activities KIC 8462852 has been
