Just as an aside, this reminds me of another anomalous asteroid on a near collision course to Earth that occurred around the beginning of the year. It came up upon us relatively undetected and had a 365 day orbit, leading some to conjecture that it was not a natural object.

As to an official announcement, if you follow the link above the photo I posted earlier or just go to NASA, that's about as close to an official announcement as I've found.
OK, David, we will believe you until Jerry Bruckheimer finish his next movie, in which a "comet" suddenly stops, turns to Earth, and starts firing anti-matter rays against our underpants.This is quite different from the smooth dust envelopes of normal comets. The filaments are made of dust and gravel, presumably recently thrown out of the nucleus. Some are swept back by radiation pressure from sunlight to create straight dust streaks. Embedded in the filaments are co-moving blobs of dust that likely originated from tiny unseen parent bodies.
