{{mp|1999 XS|35}} is a near-Earth object discovered in 1999 having a comet-like orbit. Its semi-major axis is 17.8 AU. Its orbital eccentricity is 0.94, which means that at the perihelion {{mp|1999 XS|35}} comes as close as 0.9 AU to the Sun, while at the aphelion it reaches beyond the orbit of Neptune. {{mp|1999 XS|35}} is a damocloid. {{mp|1999 XS|35}} is a small object with an absolute magnitude (H) of 17.2, which implies a size of about 1 km.

{{mp|1999 XS|35}} came to perihelion on 21 October 1999, passed {{convert|0.0453|AU|km mi|abbr=on|lk=on}} from Earth on 5 November 1999, and was discovered on 2 December 1999 at about apparent magnitude 16.9.
