Apparently, something that might become Earth's 3rd moon has been discovered... I didn't even know we had a second one!

Where's the second moon?
So we had it for some 16 years and I just found out...Earth's second one is called Cruithne. It was discovered in 1986 and it takes a convoluted horseshoe path around our planet as it is tossed about by the Earth's and the Moon's gravity.
ahh you missed the following days' report which said the 'third moon' was a piece of space junk probably from apollo 12

We've been so gung'ho with regard to polluting our own piece of space, (like the planet as a whole I guess), it is a wonder that there are only a few unidentified objects floating around up there.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity unto the dream.
