Confirmation of 2011 KA
This object posted on the NEOCP was confirmed on May 20th
2011 KA = SK1C23E(May 21.45 UT)
COD J87

Although there's no published orbit yet, thi seems to be an MBA (Main Belter) since there has not been any MPEC issued.

Confirmation of comet C/2011 J2 (LINEAR)
An object posted on the NEOCP displayed faint cometary activity.
MPEC 2011 J31

COMET C/2011 J2 (LINEAR)
An apparently asteroidal object discovered by the LINEAR survey (discovery
observation tabulated below), and posted on the Minor Planet Center's NEOCP
webpage, has been found by other CCD astrometrists to show cometary appearance.
Juan Lacruz (Madrid, Spain) writes that sixty stacked 30-s images taken with a
0.40-m reflector at La Canada on May 5.9 UT show a diffuse object about 10"
wide that is slightly elongated toward the southeast (but no distinct tail)......
These observatory J87 confirming observations have been conducted remotely over the internet.
