Actually, the apollo asteroid named Asteroid 1991JW is a very real threat. I am an eyewitness to this 'earth grazer'
It shot through our atmosphere at low altitude approximately the altitude where sea planes fly. This happened in May of 1991, if my memory serves me correctly then it was on the 13th of May, 1991. It was a very traumatic experience. If you would like to hear the particulars let me know.
