It's clearly the saucer secton and secondary hull of a starfleet vessel seen front on. What's that ship doing with a cloaking device?

(Or maybe it's the bridge section of a Klingon ship whose designation I can't remember.)

I wonder if it is some kind of dust cloud that became incandescent when hit with that plasma.

I saw this story on space dotcom  my twitter feed.  the story was intersting but I think it has been exploined allready.  they said  it can be explaied as an anoumly in ithe video process.  but it would would be cool if was a real cloaked spaceship.

Anyone else thought that said object might take a year or so to get here from there? Dec 12 might be right about the time it arrives.
