This line does not appear to be in SIMBAD. I have also checked Vizier and I cannot find anything related to this object. I have checked the ADS, and I still cannot find anything related to this object.

It could be a gravitational lens, as there is a large cluster of galaxies nearby. It looks very thin and straight. I cannot find any counterparts.

Or it could be a distant edge-on galaxy further than the original cluster.
