The present-day orbit of 2017 UV43 resembles the average one of the fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. Here, we present numerical evidence suggesting that 2017 UV43 might be related to Shoemaker-Levy 9. With our exploratory results we intend to encourage a search for precovery images of 2017 UV43 and perhaps even follow-up observations that may help in improving its poorly determined orbit so its true dynamical nature can be understood.
