What makes the star blink?

I read an article today about a star in space that is blinking, and astronomers believe that a big construction made by a super advanced civilization might be behind this.
What do you think? Are we dealing with aliens here? I`m freaking out! haha.

You can google the article: the most mysterious star in our galaxy

    It's interesting what the astronomers come up with when they are truly stumped.

    The alien construction they are referring to is just the Death Star. Its located in a galaxy far, far away.

    Why would anyone even think of making a damn ringworld?? cant you just create extra planets and send them in orbit around the sun, if you are running out of space. Cool article though, thanks.

    Maybe the star has dust in his/her eyes

    When you've been institutionalized, you can explain to your shrink why you think this star is winking specifically at you.
