    The depths of the transits alternate, so this is likely to be an eclipsing binary, that is two stars that orbit closely and eclipse each other periodically. The orbital period is about 2.5 days.

    Of course it's an eclipsingbinary (or contamination by one, since the eclipse depth is rather small).
