New red-orange dot approaching the bubble at 0.8ly per minute-- Thargoid mothership?

I bet there's a sticker on its backside "I brake for nobody"...

It could be measurement inaccuracies (counting screenshot pixels very inefficiently with MS paint's square selection tool)...
...but the object seems to be slowing down a bit in speed. Almost like we slow down inside gravity wells while supercruising.

Yesterday's guesstimation for arrival time was 15:00 CET today.
A freshly made calc from the vantage point of Oochorrs SU-K c10-0 suggests that, at earliest, 20:30 CET today is more likely for arrival time...
...and it'll likely take longer because it'll slow down even more as time passes.

It's doing 0.44ly/hour at point of posting, with just 2.85ly to go until arrival - based on my measurements.

If anything, it NOT miraculously arriving during server maintenance is very interesting.
Especially if this puppy's going to be delivering gameplay once it's in the Bubble... hehehe.

-edit- This edited part added at 17:39 CET, or 15:37 UTC/ingame time, measuring the objects movement suggests an earlier arrival between 19:20 CET and 20:08 CET.
That would be arrival of the object predicted via measurement estimation at around 17:20 UTC and 18:08 UTC, which is the in-game time as well.
So be there earlier...
