Eerie Comet 'Song' Similarity

While scientists are still trying to determine exactly what causes this mysterious 'melody,' classical music enthusiasts have noticed that it bears a striking resemblance to Gyorgy Ligeti's 1968 composition Continuum for a Harpsichord. You can compare Comet67P's 'tune' with Ligeti's work at ClassicFM.
