Hello
Concerning this space anomaly,
you can see others shape like this at the following coordinates
(under MS Worldwide Telescope software)

(Use the maximum zoom)

RA Dec
01h32m08,+53:10:31
04h28m41,+17:42:28
03h55m18,+23:32:23
16h41m41,+62:45:02
17h53m28,+76:02:19
17h25m40,+77:10:25
15h51m56,+55:22:50
16h27h37,+53:33:02
16h23m32,+58:39:07
17h11m40:+80:16:08
15h50m16,+79:51:53
19h23m33,+37:48:22
18h42m34,+41:07:39
14h24m35,+53:53:34
15h02m39,+47:12:23
19h29m25,+16:49:41
20h32m05,+24:40:29
23h58m56,+19:51:40

I suggest you also to check these strange shapes, (the second coordinate
between parenthesis are the Google Sky mode coordinate):

RA 22h10m02.55s,Dec -10:20:27.98 (-10.322823°,152.515326°)
RA 13h29m38s, Dec -13:31:01 (-13.511729°, 22.408575°)
RA 22h25m34s, Dec -9:49:12 ( -9.817745°,156.400514°)

It's a reflection of the telescope's optical system.

I suggest you also to check these strange shapes, (the second coordinate
between parenthesis are the Google Sky mode coordinate):

RA 22h10m02.55s,Dec -10:20:27.98 (-10.322823°,152.515326°)
RA 13h29m38s, Dec -13:31:01 (-13.511729°, 22.408575°)
RA 22h25m34s, Dec -9:49:12 ( -9.817745°,156.400514°)

Checking the first one in Palomar Sky Survey 2.0, the only thing I see is a piece of dust on the film plate and a satellite streak:
archive.stsci.edu...
The same database, second coordinates show a very neat geosynchronous satellite as a short bright streak:
archive.stsci.edu...
Same story for number 3, short bright streak caused by a geosynchronous satellite slowly moving over the course of the exposure:
archive.stsci.edu...
Thanks for posting the RA and Dec, it makes life a lot easier when cross checking against authoritative sources.

Check the World wide telescope,there are blue and orange disks next to lines of the same color.
