Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 45 km diameter of Ruth. With no positive chords we cannot say where the actual path was, so the circle has been plotted on the predicted path.

Comments: I saw this miss visually by a country mile (although I was in 2 sigma)!
It's worth following up on the orbit of this one,
the prediction was way out in time and position.
