    Back. So, when you say enormous - was it the opposite color as the stars?

    Usually, the things that look really odd are dirt or something on the lens. They move around in a not-linear fashion (jumping from side to side and up and down). Anything that does that is associated with the telescope/detector.

    A dust lane and dust are two different things. You got your answer -- its a galaxy seen from edge on. Galaxies can have areas called dust lanes, A dust lane is a relatively dense obscuring band of interstellar dust, observed as a dark swath against the background of a brighter object, especially a galaxy.

    Dr Asteroid already answered you two messages below your link to the image, confirming Ted91's reply (one message below your link). Your picture, while shaped like a UFO, is a picture of a galaxy that has a dustlane in it. Nothing more needs to be answered. Anyone that wants to see this beautiful example of a galaxy can click on that link. It is not a UFO but a galaxy.
