Caption: Figure 6.

An object observed twice by GALEX, about 10 yr apart, in GALEX eclipses 2609 (on the top) and 44383 (on the bottom). It has not been previously described, as far as we know, and demonstrates clear stellar eclipse-like behavior. The second visit to the object captured a full eclipse with a duration of approximately 14.5 minutes, including 1–1.5 minute long entry and exit phases, with a depth of at least two AB mag (the lower limit being consistent with a nondetection). Refer to the capture of Figure 4 for a description of the plot layouts.
