Did you or anyone else try running the program backwards?

I came up with several interesting dates before I had to stop. Among the dates:

1998 - Close encounter
1980 - Near miss/impact
1964 - Noteworth encounter
1957 - Noteworthy encounter
1941 - Near miss/impact
1925 - Close encounter

The 1980 and 1998 incidents should have been close enough, and our technology and skywatching advanced to the point to where 2002NT could have been detected. Wonder what happened.
