 `Aliens` Could Use KIC Star System To Power Their Civilisation- Scientist
Brian Cox has theorised that "an advanced alien civilisation" could be responsible for the bizarre behaviour of the KIC star that sent the internet into meltdown a few weeks ago.
In an interview with BBC Radio 6’s breakfast show, he used the Dyson sphere theory to explain why it would not be "horrendously surprising" to think that the star might be powering another civilisation.

Experts from the SETI Institute have also shed light on the star`s behaviour, explaining, via a statement, that it is "quite likely due to nature and not aliens."

"It is a thing called the Dyson sphere, which is where an ultra-advanced civilisation basically surrounds their whole star in a sphere of solar panels, which would get every last bit of energy from the star, so they could build their big space-faring interstellar civilisation," Professor Cox told BBC Radio 6.
