(NLDO) - Belgian scientists have pointed out that some "runaway stars" that we once knew may have been occupied by aliens.
Over the years, NASA has occasionally announced the discovery of hyper-velocity stars, which seem to be fleeing their galaxy or star cluster. According to a new study, they may be home to alien civilizations more advanced than our own.

According to Live Science, researcher Clement Vidal from Vrije University of Brussels (Belgium) pointed out that most hyper-velocity stars are not alone but belong to binary star systems.
Binary star systems are places where scientists belonging to an advanced civilization can take advantage of turning the parent star of their planet into a form of artificial spacecraft.
In order for the parent star to move at high speeds through space and carry their planet, they would have to find a way to eject material from the star.
This could come from asymmetrical magnetic fields or from some device causing uneven heating on the star's surface.
Either way, the goal would be to make the star eject more matter in one direction than the other.
Dr. Vidal used an experimental model and showed the most plausible binary star system, consisting of a neutron star and a low-mass companion star orbiting the neutron star.
Neutron stars are the remnants of dead massive stars, compact but powerful.
Around this pair, or around one of the stars, would be the planet where that hypothetical civilization would reside.
If these aliens placed the machines on or near the neutron star, where strong gravity could provide a readily available energy source, they could control the binary star system by carefully turning the machines on and off.
For example, if they just activated the machine at the exact same point in orbit, they would cause the entire pair of stars to be pushed in a certain direction based on the orbital plane.
They can even steer their system in other directions by changing the direction the machine is facing, essentially changing the neutron star's orbit around its companion star.
In fact, not only hypervelocity stars, NASA telescopes have even identified the existence of hypervelocity star pairs.
These are the "black widow" pulsar system PSR J0610-2100 or the "red back" pulsar PSR J2043+1711, both of which are accelerating significantly. Dr. Vidal believes they are worth studying.
