Notice the matter-of-fact way they state that the comet came from the Oort cloud,

which is a HYPOTHETICAL “rescuing device” to explain the existence of short period comets in an “old” solar system.

Never been seen or measured, but it HAS to be there, given the assumption of billions of years.

Oh, I noticed... hence my response of "allegedly". Both science and journalism have gone off the rails.
