On the other hand the announcements made at 14.00 UTC were strictly targeted at the american players, regarding Starbucks and Sprint. It seems to have been made sometime in early morning in the US, depending on time zone.
This ought to be global information so a more logical choice could have been midnight or early morning UTC.
Either way, as I write this it is 14.30 UTC and I have still not found any information from Niantic/PoGo. Did they actually say which year the announcement would be made, on 12/12? ;-P
From what I can see this (false rumour?) started on Twitter five days ago, https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/806497894635307008

It may have been that the "leaked" info from Starbucks started this rumour. Too bad Niantic has not bothered to comment or deny the rumour.
