Three? Ghads, I caught only two of them. 2003EL61 and 2003EL331 (Lila) -- what is the third?

The third is at the same distance as 2003 EL61, and probably modestly larger. It was last designated as 2005FY9 if I remember correctly. It has kind of fallen through the cracks, between the Spanish amateur scooping 2003 EL61 and 2003 UB313 being a really intriguing object.

The Spanish amateur discovering 2003 EL61 is great PR for astronomy.
