We present new neutral hydrogen (Hi) observations of the nearby galaxy NGC 2403 to determine the nature of a low-column density cloud that was detected earlier by the Green Bank Telescope.

We find that this cloud is the tip of a complex of filaments of extraplanar gas that is coincident with the main disk. The total Hi mass of the complex is 2 × 107 M⊙ or 0.6% of the total Hi mass of the galaxy. The main structure, previously referred to as the 8-kpc filament, is now seen to be even more extended, along a 20 kpc stream.
