2007 FT3
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Possible impacts were projected for 2 October 2013,[5] 3 October 2019,[7] and 3 October 2024. Since the asteroid has a short observation arc and the uncertainty in the orbit of the asteroid intersects Earth's orbit, simulations could not rule out the asteroid and Earth being at the same point in space on any of those dates.[8][9] None of these impacts happened, nor was the asteroid detected near those dates.
