Hmmmm.

“The 5th Dimension” is well known for their song, “The Age of Aquarious”.

Does the 5th force sing too? Or is it just science?

(Just had a nice glass of Chardonnay.)

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

I don't see peace and love guiding anything around this planet. So I don't think this is the answer.

Seems like asteroids could have a lot of confounders, such as solar wind and CMEs, the gravity of undiscovered other bodies, impacts with other bodies, gas pocket eruptions, and more. So looking for small departures from strict predictions won’t necessarily establish a fifth force.

I’ve found that a sack of White Castles sliders can be pretty forceful. Maybe that’s it.

It’s been in front of our faces and at our fingertips for years: Cheetle is the 5th force.

I'm thinking the same as you. There could be an explanation that doesn't involve a massive overhaul of current theory. For instance, does the asteroid have a metal core that is affected by magnetic fields of planets or other asteroids? Are there other bodies in its vicinity we haven't discovered yet, that could alter its orbit either magnetically or gravitationally? Are there radioactive materials? these are forces that we already know exist (gravity, electromagnetism and nuclear), we just don't know if they are nearby.

If there is an unknown "fifth" force at work here, I vote we call it "the Schwartz"!

Great music to dance to. I still love to dance.
