  Observations of KIC 8462852 (aka Boyajian's Star) reveal a yearlong fade
pattern that is remarkably similar to the fade pattern derived from Kepler
mission observations. The ground-based observations reported here can be
described as a gradual fade that ended in late 2016 with the beginning of a
yearlong U-shaped fade of 1.1 percent. Near the end of this U-shaped fade a
series of very brief dips occurred. The Kepler data exhibit a similar pattern
1600 days earlier, except with an abrupt end of observations before the U-shape
recovery. Observations lasting many years are needed, especially during our
predicted repeat of the U-shape and short dip pattern in 2021.
