 Clube and Napier: Coherent Catastrophism
Clube and Napier identified the progenitor of the Taurid complex as such a giant comet whose injection into a short-period (about 3.3 year) orbit occurred sometime in the last twenty to thirty thousand years.
The Taurid complex currently includes the Taurid meteor atream, Comet Encke (the only known currently active comet in the Taurid complex), "asteroids" such as 2101 Adonis and 2201 Oljato, and copious amounts of dust.
All ten of the numbered asteroids in the Taurid complex appear to have associated meteor showers and therefore are likely to be extinct comets masquerading as asteroids.

Since meteors are assumed to be cometary debris, this may indicate than Phaeton is an extinct comet.

 NAME THOSE ASTEROIDS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
There are some traditions which apply to asteroids in special types of orbits.
For example, asteroids which come inside the orbit of the Earth are still usually named for characters from Greek mythology; examples include (1862) Apollo, (2101) Adonis, (4341) Poseidon and (5731) Zeus.
A subset of these objects are those which actually have orbits smaller than that of the Earth; these are usually given names out of Egyptian mythology, for example, (2062) Aten and (3554) Amun.

Since both VEGA craft were still functioning after their Halley encounters, Soviet scientists considered an option to send the probes to other celestial objects.
One prime target was the near- Earth planetoid 2101 Adonis, which VEGA 2 could pass at a distance of six million kilometers (3.6 million miles).
Sadly, the Soviets had to back out on the opportunity to become the first nation to fly a spacecraft past a planetoid when it was discovered that there was not enough maneuvering fuel in the probe to reach Adonis as planned.
