Imaging and spectroscopic observations probed the nature of the X-ray source H0323+022. It is suggested that H0323+022 is extragalactic, and similar to a variety of other X-ray selected BL Lac objects. The extended image, when combined with estimates of the linear size of an underlying galaxy, implies both visible and X-ray luminosities consistent with this hypothesis. In a stellar interpretation, the angular extension would require attributing yet another unique feature to the object. The interpretation of the stellar absorption spectrum as misidentification of the object at the telescope is supported. Two candidates for that unrelated stellar object, which are also the next closest bright visible objects to the X-ray source are proposed. It is predicted that the late type absorption spectrum will never again be seen in H0323+022.
