30+ foot object enters and exits Earth orbit via Lagrange points in orbit animations

Near-Earth object 2022 NX1 "briefly entered Earth's orbit through the L1 point" and "completed a partial orbit before exiting through L2," according to Tony Dunn from Orbitsimulator.com. It "could be of an artificial origin, launched from the Earth decades ago or a lunar ejecta," according to the IAU Minor Planet Center.
