I was taking another look at this object and did a fresh download. The MPCORB lists it as an Apollo but when downloaded using the MPC NEA Today, shows as an Aten. When I look it up at the Minor Planet Center Info Search, it shows as an Apollo. I had to do some investigating as it appears this object is both an Apollo and Aten if we take their definitions at face value as it does not spend most of its time inside or outside our orbit. It's almost 50/50 being outside Earths orbit from June 30 to December 19 and inside the rest of the time. Crazy object. The orbit view is from directly above the barycenter. Again, the end of the month and into early September may be a good time to make another attempt to hunt for this little strange object.
