The Okroy Cloud, is an intergalactic dust cloud near the Milky Way galaxy and is possible a satellite of the galaxy due to it’s low velocity. Its intergalactic nature was first studied by Bogdan Wszolek and Solvia Massi in 1988.{{Cite journal |last1=Wszolek |first1=Bogdan |last2=Rudnicki |first2=Konrad |last3=Masi |first3=Silvia |last4=De Bernardis |first4=Paolo |last5=Salvi |first5=Antonio |date=1989-02-01 |title=Far-infrared emission from an intergalactic dust cloud? |url=https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00645983 |journal=Astrophysics and Space Science |language=en |volume=152 |issue=1 |pages=29–34 |doi=10.1007/BF00645983 |bibcode=1989Ap&SS.152...29W |s2cid=115391909 |issn=1572-946X|url-access=subscription }}
