Nice work, but there is one major glitch: some orbits aren't correct, and i don't mean a little off, but like half an AU or more. Two examples: 2004 FU162 and 2004 FH. Both passed within 40.000KM of the Earth's surface in March 2004, and when i try to look them up, they show up over .5 AU from our little blue planet. (2004 FU162 passed us at 6000KM on March 31st, 2004 FH payed us a visit on the 18th of March, at around 40.000KM) Haven't had the time to check out more of them, but otherwise it's a nice add.

Cheers,
Clint.
