i think that was one of the first explanations.. comets or something passing by the planet. If i recall the problem with the explanation is that it happens 'all the time', so they'd recognize it very quickly, and not even close to a drop of 20%.. more like 3% i think
now they're saying that is has a constant gradual diminishment, as well as that 20% decline, and i don't think they have seen anything like this before
i think at that proximity i would not want it to be an alien.. probably some event and new type of planetary ring
