Asteroid Moon in 0.9

I know this is outdated, but in my 0.9 career save an asteroid either spawned or was captured by Kerbin. I found it in a highly inclined and elliptical orbit and named it Moon 3, Does this ever happen?

Technically it's possible that one of the asteroids generated in an orbit that would put it on course for a reverse gravity assist from Mun, but I've never actually seen it happen. Does any part of the asteroid's orbit get near Mun's? It's also possible that the game just shows its orbit as highly elliptical when in fact the apoapsis leaves the sphere of influence.

It was inclined so it didn't cross the Mun's orbit. It was very close to past the SOI but I had watched it orbit.

It doesn't strictly speaking need to cross the orbit to get an encounter - within 2 million meters is close enough. It'd help if you posted a screenshot (ideally from a few different angles)
