I was just about to comment on this, but I see that the article has beat me to what I had in mind:
That's the first thing that occurred to me, that this announcement seems like a sign that whatever this turns out to be is at least something they're pretty certain about. I wonder what it is? I bet the Mayans knew about it; the projected "several weeks" sounds suspiciously close to the end of the world that's coming up...
Whatever it does turn out to be, I feel somewhat proud that an instrument called SAM found it.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
