I forgot to mention, these objects are HUGE. If they’re visible and outside of the Milky Way, that means they are very far away (Milky Way has a radius of 50-60M light-years), so tens of thousands, if not hundreds/thousands, of light-years away (we’re on the edge, and I don’t know if these sightings are near side or across the galaxy)
For measurements, Diameter = distance x arcmin / 3438.
So these four(!) objects, at 300M light-years away, are the same size as our entire galaxy. But, considering we can already ‘see’ other galaxies, none of which are that close, seems to imply these are so far away that we can’t get a better resolution on what they are. So our size formula means they have to be what, 10MM light-years big? Bigger?
