Our investigation demonstrates that the asteroidal objects 1983 SA and 1983 XF can be considered as temporary visitors of the 4/3 and 2/1 resonance with Jupiter, respectively. Evidence is given that both objects are first rank candidates for a cometary origin. The case of 1983 SA is remarkable in so far as (279) Thule is up to now the only known asteroidal 4/3 librator.
