Hi All, I think you've all forgotten about a more recent unidentified object, 2000 SG344, whose identity was never 100% decided between being a NEA or the Apollo 12 3rd stage (69099B, #04226). This is the very same identity that is being assigned to J002E3. Clearly 2000 SG344 and J002E3 cannot be the same object, and therefore one of them remains unidentified. --Rob -----Original Message----- From: jcm@head-cfa.harvard.edu [mailto:jcm@head-cfa.harvard.edu] Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 11:33 AM To: SeeSat-L@blackadder.lmsal.com Subject: Re: Apollo 3rd stage > 1991 VG. My best guess is that 1991 VG was an adapter panel (SLA) from an S-4B, rather than an entire S-4B which would probably have been brighter (and apart from Apollo 12, the other S4Bs were on orbits a bit more different from Earth)...
