So you almost certainly have contacts from two different empires who could encounter each other if they travelled directly towards each other for 24 hours, but not in 8.
This usually happens when two contacts with lousy sensors (freighters, small colonies, CMCs, etc.) are in the same system, or in a large binary system where sensors at the A component can't see all the way to the B component.
