     Another fast-moving asteroidal object has been discovered by
C. and E. Shoemaker with the 0.46-m Schmidt telescope at Palomar:
      1987 UT              R.A. (1950) Decl.           Mag.
      Sept.27.30850      0 42 01.95     - 6 04 02.1     16

           30.40138      0 36 08.17     - 5 23 49.7
    The object is evidently a borderline Apollo, but the semimajor
axis is completely indeterminate:
