Last week, ESA successfully landed the Philae research module of the Rosetta mission on a comet. Such a heroic feat was performed for the first time in the history of mankind.
The official target of the research is comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko, but critics believe that the space agency is hiding its true intentions from us. Their version of interpretation will undoubtedly appeal to fans of conspiracy theories. Since the alternative version of Philae's stay on the comet attracted a lot of attention, we could not ignore it.
An article published by The Guardian newspaper, which cites the resource UFOSightingsDaily.com (blog of the famous ufologist Scott Waring), says that the Rosetta mission is part of a secret program of the European Space Agency and NASA, which hides the real nature of the comet.
In a letter that fell into the hands of reporters, an ESA employee accuses the agency of blatantly concealing the true purpose of Philae's research vehicle on a fast-moving comet. According to him, the module is not doing what the ESA tells us beautifully.
Here are some excerpts from the letter:
I don’t think AT ONE MOMENT the space agency suddenly decided to spend billions of dollars building and sending a spacecraft on a 12-year journey just to take close-ups of a comet flying through space.
Comet 67P / Churyumov - Gerasimenko is NOT a comet. About 20 years ago, NASA detected bursts of radio emission from a space object of unknown origin. As it turned out later, the signals came from a comet known as 67P. Features on the outside of an object are like machine parts that do not fit into the natural terrain.

Whatever it was, it did not ask to be looked for or scrutinized.
Commenting on the article, its author Scott Waring suggested that the signals emanating from the comet were a "greeting" to earthlings:
If this were a warning, they would not have allowed the ESA spacecraft to land. I believe that the landing of the ESA represents the first handshake. Perhaps they will take another step in the near future. Alien structures are present on the comet. I do not believe in its natural origin.
It's worth noting that this is far from the only conspiracy theory around comet 67P and the ESA mission. The newspaper cites a link to a recent video detailing the high-resolution photos taken by the Rosetta probe. The pictures show that on the surface of the comet is something that looks like a communications facility. It is this structure that the authors of the video call the source of the mysterious radio signals caught by the ESA.
ESA's confirmation that the comet is "singing a song" has sparked speculation that the fluctuations in the magnetic field around 67P are an attempt by the alien craft to establish contact with humanity.
This is not a code, but a way of communicating alien life forms with each other. A form of telepathy in the form of primitive radio signals. This is the only way for them to communicate with us. These are their thoughts. They don't talk.
It is very important to decipher their message. Is it a greeting or a warning of things to come? We humans need to find out,”said Scott Waring.
Believe this version or not - it's up to you. Snowden, too, did not immediately believe in the scale of surveillance by American intelligence services. He wasn't even sure his revelations could change the world. But it turned out differently.
