     J. Fynbo, Dark Cosmology Center, Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen
University; together with D. Della Monica Ferreira, M. Michalowski, T.
Zafar, B. Thomsen, J. Sollerman, and V. Stanishev, report on spectroscopy
of 2008ez (cf. CBET 1474) obtained with the Nordic Optical Telescope (+
ALFOSC; range 350-900 nm, resolution 0.8 nm) on Aug. 22.97 UT.  The fully
