Why not look for stars that are pertrubed by an unseen
body, looking for 'gravity's silhouette',
There is a recent paper which indicates that many of the transits detected by OGLE (Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment) may only be small stars instead of exoplanets. Here is the URL to that paper: http://www.arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0207192 I learned about the above paper at this great
We already are. It is a common technique for detecting 'astrometric' and
'spectroscopic' binaries and multiple star systems. The trick is to
distinguish an artificial unseen body from the numerous examples of natural
ones.

Actually, more like sphere-worlds but that is a technical detail.
