I think we can just see them now.

Ignorance was bliss.

Or, we just have better ways of detecting, observing and predicting them now.

That one missed by about three earth-diameters.

Inside the orbit of the Moon, outside the orbits of geosynchronous satellites.

Well to be honest we weren’t able to detect them as well previously so we don’t know what the numbers were before. Now that we can everytime one goes nearby everyones all atwitter.

The lamestreamers have screwed the pooch yet again with their misreportage of the pass-by meteoroid. It passed within approx. 25,000 of earth. This is 1 CIRCUMFERENCE of the planet, not 1 DIAMETER. In short, the booboisie of the 'press', in reporting this event, is in pure error by a factor of 3.1416 (approx.).

Why even read/listen to these thrombotics?

It was not within one earth diameter. 25,000 miles is about one earth circumference or π earth diameters.
