The asteroid was discovered in 2005 by Robert McMillan of the Spacewatch Program and is a dark and nearly spherical object about 1,300 feet in diameter. As the future orbits of asteroids can be calculated precisely, astronomers can reassure us that it poses no threat of hitting the Earth for at least another century.
The next near miss of Earth by an asteroid takes place in 2028 when asteroid (153814) 2001 WNS passes within 0.6 lunar distances, or a bit over 143,00 miles from us.

HaHaHaHaHaHa. Glad you see your witty reparte hasn't departed
for parts unknown, PJacobs51, despite by dark humor. As they used
to say before the advent of remotes: Don't touch that dial ! Fortunately,
the big stone missed us. And the E.T.s didn't have to feature humans
in an episode of the Outer Limits. Please stand by... - 6 months ago

Yes . . . and I would call that a 'Near Hit' instead of a near miss.
