"Vanishing and Appearing Stars" could be 'interstellar communication lasers' from Aliens

If the truth is out there, it might be one we can't yet explain. Researchers are having trouble explaining how to identify the number of flickering lights that have been observed over the past several decades.


A new study published in the Astronomical Journal suggested they could be from a technologically advanced civilization using "interstellar communication lasers."

More than 150,000 of the weird lights have been studied, with at least 100 found to be behaving erratically and rapidly flaring up to become several thousands times brighter.
