A recent discovered asteroid, 2011 SE58, about 13 meters size will be coming close to earth tomorrow 27 th September. The distance that he will come close will be about 0.6 Lunar distances. No risk of impact exists, however if it came to that it would pose no treath to our world. It would desintigrate on entry .

  4. When I saw the JPL report, I switched to hours mode and it tracked to somewhere between 4 and 5AM at 0.016AU or 150,000 miles.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW7RLVMRFi8 was posted 7 hours ago and even taking into account GMT it was too early according to JPL calculations. That was a much smaller meteor, most likely than the one that is being watched. A 14m meteor would have done considerably more damage.
