Based on magnitude the object is 16-20 meters! Spectral data indicates that this is NOT man-made object and is a rock, asteroid.XG02E65 = possible radar target, needs astrometry. XG02E65 = possible radar target, needs astrometry. http://tinyurl.com/hmvrr6r
A possible 'mini moon' out there?
Other Object: SONEAR asteroid survey discovered anobject in geocentered orbit yesterday, with PANNSTARS later providing precovery imagery from a week earlier.
The object is called S509356 and is in a weird distant orbit with apogee at half a lunar distance, perigee near geosynchronous altitude. Inclination 48 degrees, period 3.58 days. http://tinyurl.com/hmvrr6r
