Dba_objects lists object type job, but can not remove it

Question

Edit: DB is 11.2.0.3 Standard edition.
I see an object of type JOB, and I cannot just drop it, but there is nothing in the dba_jobs, so dbms_job.remove(<1>) doesn't work, how do I get rid of this object?
select * from dba_objects where owner = 'XYZ_SYS'
and object_type not in ('TABLE', 'INDEX', 'DATABASE LINK', 'JAVA CLASS', 'JAVA RESOURCE')
OWNER
OBJECT_NAME
SUBOBJECT_NAME OBJECT_ID DATA_OBJECT_ID OBJECT_TYPE
CREATED LAST_DDL TIMESTAMP STATUS T G S NAMESPACE
EDITION_NAME

16646 JOB

set lines 100 pages 999
col     schema_user format a15

select     job

,     to_char(next_date, 'hh24:mi dd/mm/yy') next_run
,     failures fails

,     substr(what, 1, 15) what

order by 4
No lines ...
Any hint, please.

If the job was created using dbms_scheduler, then you need to drop it using dbms_scheduler, as shown below.
SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> select * from dba_objects where owner = 'SCOTT' and object_type = 'JOB'
  2  /
OWNER
OBJECT_NAME
SUBOBJECT_NAME                  OBJECT_ID DATA_OBJECT_ID OBJECT_TYPE
CREATED   LAST_DDL_ TIMESTAMP           STATUS  T G S  NAMESPACE
EDITION_NAME

ABC_JOB_START
                                   295791                JOB

SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> exec dbms_scheduler.drop_job ('ABC_JOB_START')
