**Disputed** None pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Subsets of dips fit periodic ephemerides.

## What would rule it out

- A demonstration that no plausible planetary architecture reproduces the dip times.

## Evidence none for · 1 against

[No more than four dips can belong to one periodic sequence; models with huge timing variations fit at most…](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/hd-139139-random-transiter/evidence/EVD0D79S2J63P9P/no-more-than-four-dips-can-belong-to-one-periodic-sequence)
