Tabby's star - source of some alien civilization's daily power or something about which we don't know yet?

The fact that unlike any other well-known star, its light is fluctuating abnormally or you can say unusually. This unusual light fluctuation was discovered by citizens scientists as a part of the Planet Hunters project and in September 2015 an article was published on it describing the data and possible interpretations.
