I found this object in the George Stein tool to search for polar ring galaxies. The search came across this galaxy, which I am not sure what to make of. I think a ring galaxy, but maybe a merger or interaction. Any ideas?

Merger Iā€™d assume, polar ring in formation? Also I found this ring galaxy near it
