But the ripple was on the other side of the pond

Hi

Have you heard any of the following bold expressions? Are they set expressions?

A very famous personality was arrested in my country and that caused a strong ripple. After a few days, there was an article on the person' arrest and release. The article was named either A or B. (I can't really remember)

A) The ripple is on the other side of the pond.

or

B) The ripple is across the pond.

Which one sounds more logical?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi, I haven't heard either. and their meaning is not very clear to me. Do they mean 'The matter is resolved, and public interest has subsided'?
