Chiron, comet 39P/Oterma and comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 are discussed. The orbital evolutions of chosen objects were traced 1 million years backward and forward from the present time. For numerical integration the program based on the Everhart implicit single sequence methods for integrating orbits was used. perturbations from the giant planets and very chaotic. It is now believed that Centaurs could be captured from the Kuiper Belt and in the future transform into the short-period comets. Currently more then 20 Centaurs are known. The cometary activity in one of them (2060 Chiron) has been detected up to now. simulated the past and future orbital evolution of active Centaur 2060 (95P) Chiron and two distant Jupiter-family comets with similar to Centaurs' perihelia and aphelia - comets 39P/Oterma and 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1. Only our knowledge gathered from the Earth-based observations, orbital evolution investigations and future spacecraft missions will solve this problem.
