In a 15 November press release (http://www.ligo.org/detections/GW170608.php), LIGO investigators announced the
discovery of yet another gravitational wave detection event from a merger
of black holes.

The detection was actually made on June 8, 2017 02:01:16 UTC
but its announcement was delayed whilst they processed the two other
recent discoveries, including the neutron star merger.
