    In Q11-2 near day 5 there is a good transit of a Gas Giant. Can anyone else verify?

    This is KOI 808.01 , unfortunately NASA list it as a False Positive with a period of 2.99 days

    There is an eclipsing binary KID 3838496 just 10 arc secs away, with the same period.

    I can see the dip you mean. It is quite small: depth about 0,0013 and duration about 3.5 hours. However this star (Kepler ID 3838486, KOI 808.01) is listed on the NASA Exoplanet Archive as a false positive due to centroid offset - i.e. the signal is not from the target star.
