    Here's ARG0002k71, which appears to be a #Wat.

    The contour overlay image in this post was created from sources, and using methods, described in this RGZ Talk
    thread.     First in red.

    The host for the emission appears to be SDSS J114312.27+164139.2. This galaxy has a z_ph=0.458 ± 0.0163, and recorded First flux emission in SDSS DR14. There doesn't appear to be any radio references for this object in NED or Simbad, but there is an ALLWISE reference, ALLWISE J114312.28+164139.5. And there does appear to be red outflows emanating from this object.

    Interestingly, there is a radio reference in NED for SDSS J114312.19+164147.2, which is a #green galaxy, and has a z_ph=0.404 ± 0.0731. This object is just north of SDSS J114312.27+164139.2.

    As per the classification comments left, there are a number of red and green objects that do seem in some cases to follow the line of the radio emission. Some of these objects appear to be faint galaxies and some are not listed as photometric objects in SDSS DR14. SDSS image below.

    As always, comments, suggestions welcome.
