The "ghost glider" marks the output of the glider after 59 generations.

I think ghost glider should be an actual official term.

The phrase already exists by analogy with ghost Herschel. The actual issue is the choice of the "official" pattern; there are several possibilities:

Sometimes, I use this as a ghost glider, i.e. to mark the position of a potential glider without altering the evolution of the pattern.
