In some planet formation theories, protoplanets grow gravitationally within a young stars protoplanetary disk, a signature of which may be a localized disturbance in the disks radial and/or vertical structure. Using time-series photometric observations by the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope South project and the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae, combined with archival observations, we present the discovery of two extended dimming events of the young star,
