I thought it was SETI that found it.

In terms of most redundant questions, asking SETI "so, what do you think it is?" must be near the top of the list?
Will be interesting to find out what it actually is, but getting SETI involved just seems like a way of spicing up an otherwise fairly normal astronomy story.

Flagged as part of the Zooniverse Planet Hunters project.link in first post said:
"Kepler focused on this one region for four years, observing as many as 150,000 stars simultaneously. Due to the massive amounts of data collected, Kepler scientists rely on “citizen scientists” through a website called Planet Hunters to help them scour the data for anything unusual. In 2011, one star in particular was flagged as unusual.
