		| Abstract: | 
		Recent observations provide strong evidence for the BL Lac object OJ 287 exhibiting a periodicity with a double-peaked maxima in its optical flux variations. Several models have been proposed for the optical behavior. The 2005 November outburst in OJ 287 gives us a surprising result since calculation based on the periodicity was predicting such an outburst in late 2006. Here we suggest a new model, it can explain the optical quasi-periodic behavior. |
