Fast asteroid, glitch or another object

• by mrpsb

  Hello, just come across this object, it's moving so much I initially missed it looking for more subtle ones. What do you all reckon, asteroid, glitch that coincidentally moves in a line or something else? Doesn't come up as a known asteroid but I'd guess something that bright and quick would do if it was one?

  Well, it's retrograde when compared to all of the others. Is there a reason why a set may be flipped from time to time?

  Probably a NEO (Near Earth Object). As I understood it they tend to have other orbits then the "normal" asteroid. Also, the movement is big so that also support a NEO.
