A 21-cm scan of the Markarian 7 and 8 galaxies in 1980 revealed an object which seemed to be a quasar, but which proved to have the spectra of a G-star in a 1982 radio spectra survey. The object had, 30 yr ago, been observed in the red in the Polomar Sky Survey. Schmidt telescope plates from 1979-80 showed that the object is at a minimum distance of 40 pc if it is an M5 star and 250 pc if the object is a type G0 star. If the star is 100 pc away, then observed radio bursts are a million times more powerful than the type IV events of the sun, yet last only one-half hour. Further observational campaigns are proposed that could yield data for deciding whether the object is a radio galaxy, binary system, or a single star with peculiar radio signature.
