Some Additional Data and it was estimated to be d between 425 and 920 fee in diameter. Basically a Football Stadium in size.

It was discovered on June 16, then waited 3 days to officially announce it. Then the Media pretty much sat on it.

Why?
Given, all the BAD Biden & (LSD) related NEWS, it would have been a good attention deflection.
