more like Star gazing...

I looked.. but I have no clue where this one should go. First of all.. this should be in the sky.. not Earth. So follow the link to the placemark... but remember I'm trying to point up into the sky.

While just scrolling around I saw a long cylindrical green thing in the sky. No I'm not joking... take a loof for yourself. I'm slightly confused as to what this is... Any ideas?

Note: thanks to the mod for moving this to the right area.

It's a DSS2 red plate's artifact. Might be an asteroid. Here you can find same area on different DSS's plates:
