I believe you meant, it "appeared to be barely visibly." I spotted this
disturbance, along with the pros, since Friday and while it has grown
rapidly, its appearence is forshortened by its position on the Sun and our
viewing angle. It may have been quite large before rotating into view. One
may wish to check solar observatory data such as GONG or Spacewatch.
