So did we ever get a good explanation what this was, and why the original 30mb image was replaced with 800kb jpg file?

How long this tictac actually is? Can you calculate its size by background objects?

it looks just like an eroded rock to me
this part of the image though is far more interesting. look at the shadow this rock is standing on just a tiny leg

Looks like an edit. The shadow doesnโ€™t seem to match the light source compared to the environment. If the object is highly reflective it should just show a reflection of the sky from this angle.
