I agree that the hexagon in this photo is an artifact.  We are looking
at this edge-on to the local ecliptic or we would not see the dips.
Also, simple math applied to the largest dip gives you an orbital
velocity corresponding to about 7.8 AU.

I don't think Dyson spheres at one AU make sense for computation, they
are too warm.

But they did not do that despite the fact that scientists love nothing better than reporting on something they found that is strange. Therefore I conclude that they did not believe they had found anything they thought was strange.
