3 asteroids following the same way in parallel? Wow this is a hell of coincidence.

Shoemaker-Levy 9 broke up because it passed deep into the gravity well of Jupiter and tidal forces caused it to disintegrate. The distinctive "string of pearls" was clearly visible.
Elenin has not and will not pass close enough to anything to have caused this to happen.
"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."

When the telescope tracks the comet the hot pixels appear to move with the comet. When the telescope does not track the comet and image stacking is used the hot pixels appear in random areas, as seen here:
Hot pixels have nothing to do with how clean the lens is.

There are no other objects. What there are artifacts from the processing of the images and hot pixels.

I think everyone is overreacting. The pictures are blurry it could be nothing at all or a simple glitch.
Why would they "catalogue" a glitch with a catalogue number?

It depends. We are dealing with two things at the same time; image stacking and the tracking of the comet.
The stationary objects are stars.
When the comet is being tracked by the telescope from image to image the hot pixels do not appear to move (much) relative to it.
When the comet is not being tracked from image to image, and the images are stacked, the hot pixels appear to move relative to it.

I just read it in the last few days and I don't remember where I read it as I do alot of research, but I read that numerous UFO's are behind Elenin. Of course, who knows if this is true. And the old saying, smart is believing half of what you hear, genius is knowing which half to believe.
On March 19-20, 1997, Marshall Applewhite taped himself speaking of mass suicide and asserted "it was the only way to evacuate this Earth". The Heaven's Gate group was against suicide but they believed they had no choice but to leave Earth as quickly as possible. After claiming that a space craft was trailing the comet Hale-Bopp, Applewhite convinced 38 followers to commit suicide so that their souls could board the supposed craft. Applewhite believed that after their deaths, a UFO would take their souls to another "level of existence above human", which Applewhite described as being both physical and spiritual. This and other UFO-related beliefs held by the group have led some observers to characterize the group as a type of UFO religion. In October 1996, the group purchased alien abduction insurance to cover up to 50 members at a cost of $10,000.

Just haven fun with ya Phage.
But,
It seems strange that the OP found that the author of the Youtube video states that this is from two different observatories. Coincidence that both observatories have the same hot pixels?

Hmmmm ... I think you'll have to do better.
When the telescope is tracking something, that object remains rather stationary and everything else moves around it. Any "hot pixels" in the array remain "fixed" relative to the background. So ... as these additional "hot pixels" seem to move sychronous with Elenin, it would seem that they may be real objects, course, then there is the fact that these "hot pixels" were given a catalog number.
Also, when something like an observatory buys and installs a CCD array, they "map" every pixel in the array, and at every schedualed maintainance they remap the aray. This way they know which pixels are not working properly, they even know if it will be a bright spot or a dark one. Doing this is simple, even if a bit time consuming.
So, dear Phage, they know if it is a "hot pixel" or not, and aren't likely to catalog something they know is an error. As for "your" image artifacts; I'm going to have to get seat-belts for my chair if ya keep that kind of stuff up.
