The orbit is quite similar to 90088. In fact, the observations actually match 90088. So, Greg discovered 90088 on Nov 1. Kevin independently discovered it on Nov. 2. Kevin got a long arc on it. Greg confirmed it about 11 hours later on Nov. 2. And then Greg accidentally observed it again on Nov. 2 about an hour after he supposedly stopped observing it. I have changed the name of 90088 to Unknown 111101 (instead of 111102) and I have changed its "designation" from 11806A to 11805A.
