But the odds of impact currently stand at just one in six million, reducing the fear factor somewhat, and these odds should further diminish change with additional observations.

There i fixed the bias in the report.

:'D Further observation probably will further diminish the odds, and reduce the number of projected encounters. One of the factors in figuring the odds of impact is the number of encounters. Of course, something one half mile in diameter would make a great big (new) serious hole... and encounters with the Earth have small changes in the object's trajectory, changes which are less predictable than the orbit without the encounters. :'o
