Totally at a loss also, are the scientists, hero classifiers, and moderators. We can't explain it either. Join the club!

Unknown object / cosmic ray hit, not geostationary satellite /guide star https://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000006/discussions/DGZ0001y94

Wow, that is really wierd! A satellite! Geostationary I suppose. I'll put it in the index.

No drifting trail and wrong declination for alleged geostationary satellite imaged at Cerro Tololo. see discussion and findings "hits"
