That's no moon...

Out of interest, why do people think the answer cannot possibly be aliens?

The scientists in the BBC docu thought it could be aliens.

But I am not sure it is a good idea to make our presence known to a civilization advanced enough to harness the energy output of an entire star. In the history of our world, whenever an advanced civilization met a less advanced one, it did not go well for the less advanced one...

I don't know - the early Christians didn't do too badly against the Roman Empire in the end, even if it did take a while.
