What you're seeing there is the default object representation. It
isn't actually quoting an address but an "identity number". The only
meaning of that number is that it's unique [1]; so if you see the same
number come up twice in the list, you can be confident that the list
has two references to the same object.

Beyond that, it basically tells you nothing. So you know what kind of
object it is, but anything else you'll have to figure out for
yourself.

[1] Among concurrently-existing objects; if an object disappears, its
ID can be reused.
