  Hermes
Hermes was rediscovered on 2003 Oct 15 by Brian Skiff of Lowell Observatory.
Doppler broadening of the Hermes primary and secondary based on CW data obtained 2003 Oct 18, Nov 04, Nov 08, and Nov 11.
Hermes closest approach was in the skies over the Earth in 1942, as World War II was fought underneath, when it passed about 1.8 times further away than the Moon.

 69230 Hermes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the time, this was the closest known approach of an asteroid to the Earth.
Not until 1989 was a closer approach (by 4581 Asclepius) observed.
This was not enough to calculate an orbit, and Hermes was "lost".

 Asteroid 1937 UB Hermes
Section 3 is maintained, since trails of Hermes happened to appear close to both the search lines derived for 2001 and 2003, although the real orbit of Hermes does not correspond to the orbits used in the derivation.
In 1994 Gareth Williams looked at this plate and found the trail of Hermes, but it is very faint and the ends of the trail are very ill-defined, the trail seems to be involved with a star near one end (personal communication by Brian G. Marsden).
Furthermore, both the incoming and the outgoing branches of the orbit of Hermes are turned to the south of the ecliptic.

 List of asteroids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In extreme cases, such as "lost" asteroids, there may be a considerable mismatch: for instance the high-numbered 69230 Hermes was originally discovered in 1937, but was lost until 2003.
(For many years, Hermes was a rare exception, an unnumbered asteroid with a name.) Usually the discoverer has up to 10 years to pick a name; some asteroids remain unnamed.
Especially towards the end of the 20th century, with large-scale automated asteroid discovery programs such as LINEAR, the pace of discoveries has increased so much that it seems likely that the vast majority of "run of the mill" discoveries from now on will never receive names.

The fix is that the DOU software is being rewritten, thus DOUs "will not be issued automatically during the next several days (over the full-moon period), although it is possible that they will from time to time be prepared manually, while the new software is being tested."
Caught Monday by Begues Observatory, 1937 UB Hermes today was newly numbered 69230 Hermes.
First in line for a new number with its old name was 69230 Hermes (1937 UB), now the highest numbered asteroid with a name.

 Asteroid Summary
A few have come close to the earth: in 1937, Hermes swept within 600,000 miles of the earth (only twice the distance from the Earth to the Moon); in 1989, another asteroid came within 500,000 miles of our planet.
In 1937, the NEO Hermes swept within 600,000 miles of the Earth (only twice the distance from the Earth to the Moon); in 1989 another asteroid came within 500,000 miles of our planet.
A considerable stir was raised when astronomers announced, in early 1998, that the newly-discovered asteroid 1997 XF11 would pass perilously close to Earth in the year 2028, swinging a mere 30,000 miles from our planet.
