I think Jupiter being hit by something the size of earth without a sign

Simon-Miller estimates the size of the impacter to be on the order of two hundred metres wide, equivalent to the length of at least two football fields, and many times larger than the object that exploded over the Tunguska region of Siberia in 1908.

Without having seen it, scientists can't tell how large the object was. "But the impact scar we're seeing is about the same size as one of Jupiter's big storms, Oval BA, Fletcher told New Scientist. "That, I believe, is about the size of the Earth."

I've read the Earth size comment many times in other articles. If it is wrong, then sorry, but I am going by what has been said, and I have not seen any real clarification broadcast on this subject so it's one scientist's opinion against another's, I suppose.
