An example of NEO experiencing such a temporarily captured flyby is 2022 NX1, which was a short-lived mini-moon in 1981 and 2022. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2515-5172/ad781f https://web.archive.org/web/20260922234919/https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2515-5172/ad781f 22 September 2026
