Unknown object on azimuth grid above is-19 satellite

Please try update TLE - I guess it's very old object on orbit, who is not exists currently.

Ah, I did a satellite update and the interesting thing is the object
has changed from the north west to south east diagonal to a west
south west to east south east diagonal. Strange. All the data sets
are ticked for the satellite update when I updated all the info. I'll
include a picture so you can see what I mean.
 As you can see it's right above the Intelsat (is-19) satellite and
above the 40 degree 6 minute latitude.

It's very odd. No data comes up in regards to it when clicked on.
Whatever it is it's listed somewhere as geostationary. but it's
rotating. Just a thought, wasn't there an experiment conducted in
trying to generate electricity via a long wire in space? Is this
possibly a jettisoned wire in the database that is unlabelled? Space
junk in the data sets?

I hope this extra information helps Alexander.

Cheers!

Can you say to me name of that strange object?

I don't know the name of the object. Didn't you get the image I sent
you showing the zoomed in snapshot I took of it? Check your email
account, as I think the website is filtering out the image.

I actually had a thought that you aren't zooming in on the object.
Adjust your location to Adelaide Australia then display the IS-19
satellite, then zoom in using the Page up key until the FOV is 0.0605
degrees centering the IS-19 every time it moves out of screen center.
Just checked the object and it now is just below the 40 degree 6
minute line using the azimuth grid from my Adelaide location. Like
I've said before it doesn't have a name when I've clicked on it.
Here's another snapshot.

I tried reproduce it but no success. Can you try restore settings and satellites database in Satellites plugin and re-check it again?

I did that and IS-19 satellite disappeared as well as the object. I
Just worked out what it was and discovered there is a bug in the
program data. I carefully unticked all the satellite source data then
reinstalled each with an update. The line didn't appear until I went
into satellite configuration and ticked the orbit lines. For a
geostationary object you'd think the lines wouldn't be necessary but
I've realized the Stellarium program isn't absolutely perfect. It's
exceedingly good but not perfect. Satellites make corrections to stay
where they are. Unfortunately this is the limitation of the program
as it needs updates every few days to maintain their positioning.
But the program still has the problem of where the orbit lines are in
relation to the satellite in close up. THATS the flaw that has
manifested with program. After clicking on the IS-19 satellite then
going into the configuration menu settings I was doubly sure when
adjusting the orbit lines and watched the lines extend outward. Funny
thing though is watching the line move in sync with the satellite with
the speed of time increased and it making an elliptical loop as the
hours ticked by in seconds.

I'm going to check the other satellites orbit lines to see what
happens and to see if the orbit lines match up with them.

I checked out the nearby Optus-10 clicked on the orbit lines and
zoomed in. Yep the same synchronization problem on close up. But you
have to zoom on the object to a FOV of below 0.1 to really see it.

Anyway I think this can be classified either as a bug that needs to be
fixed or due to it being 99.98% off of perfect an acceptable design
flaw. Though the interesting thing is the fact that the misalignment
of the orbit lines is the same between either satellite with it being
above the satellite by a minute of the azimuth.

Many thanks Alex for the help.
