While many alien hunters search the cosmic for extraterrestrials, one claims to have spotted ‘an Iron Man robot’ hitchhiking on Comet 67P.

The bizarre sighting was found in an image of Churyumov–Gerasimenko that was snapped by the Rosetta spacecraft a few days before it met its demise is September.

The conspiracy theorist has also claimed that there is a lion face etched in one of the rocks and another sculpture laying in the dust that were ‘made by intelligent beings’.

Scott C. Waring of UFO Sightings Daily shared the sighting with his followers after examining images of Comet 67P, or the comet formally knows as Churyumov–Gerasimenko, from the European Space Agency (ESA) website.

The Iron Man robot appears to be peaking out of a cave opening in the lower portion of the image.

‘I call it an Iron Man-like robot only because it has a center chest circle on it,’ explained Waring.

‘Perhaps it’s just art, perhaps it is just coincidence, but I bet you see it too.’

Looking at the original image from the ESA and it appears to be just edges of a cave or shadows from other rocks on the comet.

In the same area, Waring also claims there is a giant lion head also sitting on the comet, which he said is smiling and just below it is ‘another very large rock area with lines that look like they have been made by intelligent beings’, Waring explained referring to both of the sculptures.

‘The one constant about anomalies found is that there is no constant,’ he shared in the blog post.

‘You never know what you will find next.’

The image where Warning believes to have spotted the bizarre objects are actually ‘small and large boulders scattered in the Anubis region,’ according to the ESA’s official website.

The image was taken by Rosetta on September 14, about 1.6 miles from the surface.

The Rosetta probe, which was carrying Philae, launched into space in 2004, using the gravity of Earth and Mars to slingshot its way towards comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

It chased the comet through space for more than ten years, entering orbit in August 2014.

After a four-billion-mile (6.4 billion km) journey, the probe then successfully released the Philae lander from its grip to land on the comet on 12 November 2014, travelling at 3.3ft (one metre) a second relative to the comet.

But when it first made contact with the surface it failed to fire harpoons that would have kept it attached to the comet.

This resulted in it bouncing to a height of 0.62 miles (1km) above the comet before again landing on the surface. It then bounced again, but to a much lower altitude.

Philae managed to perform more than 90 per cent of its goals before running out of power. Rosetta, meanwhile, is continuing to orbit and study the comet.

 

From data collected by the two probes, Esa said that water on the comet was different to that on Earth – suggesting water on our world came from an asteroid, not a comet.

And on September 30, 2016, the historic Rosetta mission had officially ended, as the spacecraft crashed onto its comet. The £1 billion ($1.3 billion) quest to 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko ended with a crunch at around 12:20 BST (07:20 ET)
