I read about this before. I also read about some sort of dense asteroid that has a horseshoe orbit with the earth. It goes the same way earth goes then comes close to earth and reverses it's orbit and goes the other way making a sort of horseshoe shape

That's Cruithne. Very weird solar orbit that's in resonance with the Earth's orbit.

The quasi-satellite was given the label of asteroid 2016 HO3, though surely it ought to be in line for a more charismatic title sometime soon. Scientists also assure that the space rock is no threat to our planet or to our main squeeze, the moon.
If this little moon sticks around, it's definitely going to need a name...

I did read about that one but did not understand it's orbit. The one I am talking about is one of these. en.wikipedia.org...
