Actually, I hate to disagree with you so completely, but we have been monitoring the sun for more than a handful of years. If we can notice small-ish sunspots with telescopes since 1766, IMHO we would have noticed a gigantic filament if it appeared on the sun since then.
According to Wikipedia, this IS the largest filament in history. But I would prefer a different source to corroborate this.
Perhaps someone can prove me wrong and tell me this is a common occurrence since we started monitoring the sun?
