If someone out there would PLEASE look at Google Sky to the heading of .. Dec.20 degrees, 16' 00.00" and RA 15h 14m 54.54s , and zoom in as far as you are able to zoom in.
I am able to find streaks of green that DO NOT look like image overlays. If I look in the nearby surrounding area, I am also able to find red and even a blue streak.
Could it be something within the satellite imaging system, or an interstellar spaceship that was caught zipping from galaxy to galaxy, and it just so happened to be captured by the cosmos camera?
Please look, and please tell,
dave

I to fell pray to these anomalous effects, although striking, they are only illusions. Now I personally can't explain them all, I have found numerous amounts of them in all different shapes, sizes and colors, some might accualy be real artifacts, but the vast majority are not. You don't have to take my word for it, it took a long time for me to submit, but my new theory for browsing in sky is that if the image is completely different than anything I have ever seen, it probably isn't real. I tend to placemark it anyway, just incase I learn somthing to the contrary in the future or to compare it to other oddities. I hope this helps, I've found it's hard to get anyone to make comments in these forums.

You're not crazy, and it's not a UFO. As andocalrision said, there are many kinds of artifacts on the GE imagery that are explainable in a variety of non-paranormal ways.
In your example, notice that the Northern part of the line is somewhat fainter than the Southern part. Notice also that the line is uniformly green in color. Professional telescopes use filters to record a single wavelenth of light or multiple filters to record several wavelengths. Green is the color which human eyesight is most sensitive to, so it's likely that a green filter was used to take this image, but the object itself may have been white in color. All other colors except green would be filtered out.
Now consider that a short, straight line on an astronomical image is extremely common. There are huge numbers of satellites, Earth-orbiting debris, meteors, and even jet airplanes which create these (unwanted) lines on astronomical images. In fact, sometimes an astronomical research project is delayed because the required imagery is ruined by an (Earthly) object passing between the observer and the object being observed. A meteor strike typically starts faint, grows in brightness, then fades away. Your linear object starts faint, grows in brightness, then may have exited the field of view of the camera recording the image. My guess is a small meteorite hit the Earth's atmosphere during the exposure of this particular image. Remember that astronomical images are exposed for very long periods of time, hours even, so they gather up all kinds of spurious light.
If you continue to browse around Google Sky, you'll see many more of these kinds of blips. We're not being invaded, at least not by straight green lines.

It might be a spaceship of any thing or object that lives in space
that are any some kinds of aliens there!
