If that is the case, then some consideration would need to be made about the reason for the abrupt development of that damage on that leaf there.
ES could be onto it about temperature and/or light level. If some particular hot day came up, then it could affect the plant. Not sure about why that particular leaf though.
Could also see if there's any attacking bugs.

Hello SouthPark. Yes the plant was in same location for 4 months. No change in lights/water/humidity. The temp did rise significantly in those 4 months when Summer blazed in about 6 weeks ago! I looked for bugs, but nothing there.
I moved it to North Window in living space where we keep AC around 75 F. Only problem now is humidity. I understand Milts love humidity, which is only 40-50% in our living space. Thinking about a humidity tray with dome . . .
If another leaf becomes infected, I will use one of my expensive Agdia ImmunioStrips to test for virus. (I only use them when all else has been ruled out.)
Thanks so much for your guidance. As I said before - the OB is my Orchid ER!!! Stay Healthy.
