According to the Tyranid Codex, that was Hive Fleet Behemoth

The second fleet is Hive Fleet Kraken, and it is still active. Here is a
blurb from
the codex:
SUBJECT: TYRANID INVASION
CODE NAME: KRAKEN
<< SECURITY GRADE ALPHA PRIME >>
Sector Map: 400/US.165 Ultima Segmentum.
Notes: The quadrant map shown encompasses the area of
highest Tyranid activity. 71.2% of all Tyranid sightings
have been reported within this area. Nominal breakdown
of other reports:
Segmentum Solar: 0.3%
Segmentum Obscurus: 1.2%
Segmentum Pacufucus: 1.1
Segmentum Tempestus: 9.4%
Ultima Segmentum: 16.8%
Genestealer infestation of habitable worlds in this
sector is at 22% and is believed to be as high as
10% throughout the Ultima Segmentum. Successful
repression of Genestealer insurrection on infested
worlds by local forces or combined action
is at 54%. Exterminatus of infested worlds has reached
8%. Tyranid consumption of Genestealer infested worlds
runs to 31%.

The mystery fleet is Hive Fleet Leviathan, of which I also have only heard
whispers about.
I would love to learn more.
