The Supernova Cosmology Project announced that it has a found an “unidentified object“. Before you all go painting pictures of martians in your head, the said object is located within the area designated as CL1432.5+3332.8.

The said cluster was observed to grow in luminosity for about 100 days and reached a brightness of the 21st magnitude in two infrared colors. The object then subsequently faded for the next 100 days. This pattern has baffled scientists who contend that this behavior is so unlike that of a supernova. And to make it more mysterious, the said object is not even part of any known galaxy.
