How about a tiny Bok Globule?

Sometime in the past, prior to the WISE data, the neighbor red dwarf sloughs off an outer layer of silicon oxide and carbon. A plume of this rapidly cooling and soon to be cosmic dust gets entrained with the gravitational interaction between the dwarf and Ai-chan. As it twirls into various shapes, heading for consumption by Ai-chan, Kepler picked up its occlusion of Ai-chan, but not its emission signature because Kepler can't look for submillimeter temperatures, which are just beyond far infrared.

How much silicon oxide and carbon monoxide would it take to produce a 22% occlusion?
