Definitely a merger. And the object at the top is a foreground star.
Remember if there is a galaxy and a star in the picture, the star is always in the foreground.

Yahoo!
I found a flying saucer with three lights, moving!
What's that?

Looks like a merger to me. The blob on top is probably a foreground star from our galaxy

This appears to be a spiral galaxy with 2 other galaxies merging or simply shining through the edges of the first.
