Follow the steps in 11, playing around with it more.. if you also drop the saturation down to -100, you can actually see a square edge around the object that is the border of the cut and paste.. at that, the tip of the ‘saucer’ was actually cut off. With zoom at 400%, Hue at -150 and Saturation at -100, it looks like a postage stamp stuck in the sky.

Selecting with the marquee tool in a square, then sharpening, would produce the same thing. If someone is going to the trouble to render this shape, and place it in an image, they’re going to do a neat silhouette mask and layer it in, not a square cut and paste.
