with Nasa just about to skim Ultima Thule with their New Horizons drone... I thought I'd have a look for it . near Pluto apparently. No.. even though it's in our own system , couldn't find it on any elite site?

Thargoids used it in an attack on Mars in 3105, redirecting Ultima Thule to crash onto one of the major conurbations. So it's not in space any more. Maybe.

Edit: Hmm, might be getting confused with Starship Troopers - do you want to know more?

Kuiper Belt Object (486958) 2014 MU[SUB]69[/SUB], nicknamed "Ultima Thule" by NASA in homage of the ancient mythical island at the farthest end of the world, is tiny - only about 20 km across at its widest. So, only slightly larger than an asteroid station or maxed-out Coriolis. Nowhere near big enough to be classed as a "planet" by ED, though it might fall into the still-invisible "comet" category.

As you can probably tell by that rather large six-digit number at the front of its name, "Ultima Thule" is just one of hundreds of thousands of similarly-sized objects in the solar system. ED can't be expected to model every single one of these.

I guess it will be " blink and you miss it" scenario for NASA then .
