http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.gr/2016/04/breaking-news-moon-may-have-asteroid.html

XG02E65 as possible asteroid in moon orbit!!!

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.
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.

Thanks to the ‘LUNAR METEORITE HUNTER’
