The biggest moon in the solar system is about to get much bigger for Juno.

I note this in the article at the end of the report.

"But despite the excitement of the unusual moon flyby, Juno scientists can't lose sight of a milestone coming close on the heels of the Ganymede investigation, when the spacecraft makes another flyby of its usual target, Jupiter itself. "Literally every second counts," Matt Johnson, Juno mission manager at JPL, said in the same statement. "On Monday, we are going to race past Ganymede at almost 12 miles per second (19 kilometers per second). Less than 24 hours later, we're performing our 33rd science pass of Jupiter — screaming low over the cloud tops, at about 36 miles per second (58 kilometers per second). That means Juno will zoom by Ganymede at a speed of about 43,200 mph (69,523 kph) and then whip around Jupiter at a whopping 129,600 mph (208,571 kph). But Juno's ready for it, Johnson said. "It is going to be a wild ride."

Juno traveling at 19 km/s and 58 km/s is moving as fast as meteors and some meteor showers that take place on Earth. Lately I keep seeing report after report popping up on the Pentagon UFO report coming and Congress reviewing and the official public proclamation anticipated that is coming. It should be interesting to see if the UFOs can equal or exceed Juno velocities and make a trip to the Moon and back like NASA Apollo lunar missions did
