Object Other Info: 

This is an interesting asteroid I stumbled upon on 7/23/17. It was moving about 2x faster than all of the other main belt rocks in the field an has a current NEO score of 32. Needs follow up.

Was able to recover this on 7/26/17. It is looking like a possible mars-crosser asteroid.

Thanks to follow up by Randy Flynn from W34 Squirrel Valley Observatory it is now looking like an inner main belt rock.
