Russian cosmonaut Sergey Korsakov saw the pair on a resupply ship after it undocked and left the ISS.
They appear to show two rounded objects with lights for eyes.
“Who are those stowaways watching us?” he tweeted.
Space sleuths quickly got to work guessing what they might be, with one suggesting it could be Doctor Who‘s long-running enemy.

Korsakov hasn’t confirmed what the objects really are.
But as CNET reports, they are probably just some components that have caught the light.
