Cygnus X-3: A source of highly symmetric quark bound states?

The point source Cygnus X-3 continues to show puzzling features related to underground modulated muon signals and also an excess of hadron groups recently reported. We propose that the neutral particle responsible for these unusual facts could be a highly symmetric bound QCD state (quark-alpha) recently hypothesized. Interactions of these primaries with ordinary matter and astrophysical expectations are addressed and it is concluded that this proposal is in principle capable of providing some desirable ingredients for an explanation of the data.
