1276 Ucclia (prov. designation: 1933 BA) is a carbonaceous Alauda asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 31 kilometers (19 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 24 January 1933 by Belgian astronomer Eugène Delporte at the Royal Observatory of Belgium in Uccle.[15] Two nights later, the body was independently discovered by Richard Schorr at Bergedorf Observatory in Hamburg, Germany. It was named for the Belgium city of Uccle and its discovering observatory.[2]
