Assuming we could see it. I'm not a physicist but I have read this book series called The Three Body Problem, in which we discover alien structures, but in the fourth dimension.

The three body problem is more magical realism than scientific really.

thanks for spoiling it! i was meaning to read it.

The 4th dimension is used as more of a metaphor or minor plot point. The series has a much more valuable message.

That’s hardly a spoiler

I'd definitely consider it one and would've dropped the book if someone had told me just when I started it.
