This hypothesis is strengthened by the fact that a number of objects thought to be damocloids (and assigned minor-planet provisional designations) subsequently showed a coma and were confirmed to be comets: C/2001 OG108 (LONEOS), C/2002 CE10 (LINEAR), C/2002 VQ94 (LINEAR), C/2004 HV60 (Spacewatch) and possibly others.
Túto hypotézu posilňuje aj skutočnosť, že množstvo objektov, o ktorých sa predpokladalo, že sú to Damokloidy, potom ukázalo kómu a boli potvrdené ako kométy: C/2001 OG108 (LONEOS), C/2002 CE10 (LINEAR), C/2002 VQ94 (LINEAR), C/2004 HV60 (Spacewatch) a je možné, že aj iné.
