A fost observat si de VLT, infirmandu-se ideea ca e o cometa! Asadar se va numi A/2017 U1

" K. Meech (Institute of Astronomy, University of Hawaii) reports that in a
very deep stacked image, obtained with the VLT, this object appears completely
stellar.  The prefix for the designation 2017 U1 is therefore being changed to
A/, in line with the 1995 IAU Resolution on the system of comet designations."
