Yeah, need to manage expectations. I remember how long it took to rule out the coolest explanation or otherwise resolve Tabby's Star, FTL neutrinos, the Pioneer anomaly etc.

I checked WP yesterday and 'large opaque objects' (ie Dyson spheres & alien civilization) appear to now be ruled out. What's left as possibilities is boring (for the rest of us) stuff like accretion disks or cold dust.

oh. Inevitable, really, but a shame nonetheless. (I was saying only this morning that nothing is ever as exciting as it could be, w/r/t the possible CERN new particle story)
