The possible detection of a 4 kpc long jetlike feature emanating from the Galactic center region is reported. The feature is some 200 pc in diameter and extends almost perpendicular to the Galactic plane and may be related to some activity in the Galactic center. The structure may possibly be a radio jet from the nucleus, or it might be a magnetic tornado produced by a twisted poloidal magnetic field between the disk and halo.
