The serendipitous discovery of a possible new solar system object with ALMA
Have you guys seen or heard anything about this? It’s pretty weird. On the right-hand side of the page under “Current browse context” if you hit “next” there’s another article related to this.

The way I read it, it's either a continuum or single object; either a pretty small object at 12-25 AU or a planet-sized object in interstellar space, and they don't know where it is, at all, because of large proper motion since it was detected. That covers a lot of space and different sized objects, lol! I'm not getting this. This is a non-event until somebody recovers the object and pins-down it's nature.
