    As you note, the host of the radio emission is the QSO SDSS J100800.81+062121.2, and it is indeed a BL-Lac object, as its spectrum clearly shows (note the lack of any easily identifiable emission or absorption lines, and the continuum rising into the blue):

    The other optical object is a star, which happens to appear green in the SDSS image.
