Is comet 67P actually an alien spaceship?
Conspiracy theorists claim Rosetta is on a secret mission to make contact
- UFO believers claim Europe’s comet mission had a hidden task
- They said comet 67P is actually an alien spaceship that is sending signals
- And they claim Esa sent the Rosetta spacecraft there to make contact
- Bizarre claims were apparently exposed by an anonymous ‘whistle blower’
- Yesterday, Esa’s Philae lander completed the first ever landing on a comet
- The historic moment has been heralded as one of humanity’s greatest achievements in space exploration
With every pivotal moment in human history, it seems a conspiracy theory is not far behind.
When men first landed on the moon, people soon claimed that the achievement had in fact been faked in a studio in Hollywood.
And when Nasa landed its Curiosity rover on Mars, some were adamant the agency had fooled us all by filming it in Nevada.
And now, after Esa completed humanity’s first ever landing on a comet, so-called UFO experts have claimed 67P is not a comet at all – but in fact a spaceship.
One of the most bizarre claims was made by Scott Waring of the website UFO Sightings Daily.
He said he had received an email from an anonymous Esa ‘whistle blower’ that claimed intelligent-sounding signals had been received from comet 67PChuryumov-Gerasimenko 20 years ago and the object is actually an alien ship in disguise.
