  <p>I was able to determine that it was <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=58947pb01&amp;name=Cylinder%209%20x%204%20x%202%20Tapered%20with%20Flat%20Bottom,%20Pin%20Holes%20with%20%27HIGH%20RISK%20AREA%27%20and%20Captured%20Alien%20Pattern%20(Sticker)&amp;category=%5BCylinder,%20Decorated%5D#T=C" rel="nofollow noreferrer">part 58947pb01</a>, the "Cylinder 9 x 4 x 2 Tapered with Flat Bottom, Pin Holes with 'HIGH RISK AREA' and Captured Alien Pattern (Sticker)".  It turns out to be from the Mars Mission theme, and appeared in six sets in 2007-2007.  I'm guessing this one came from <a href="https://brickset.com/sets/7694-1/MT-31-Trike" rel="nofollow noreferrer">7694-1: MT-31 Trike</a>:</p>

  <p>As you can see the tube forms the spine of the trike and it has something in it.

  <p>Do you know how you were supposed to play with this?  What went into the orange tube?</p>
