If they had named it Wolf-Biederman, I would be worried!

Any asteroid,comet or meteor that comes close enough to a large mass (like a planet) to have it's trajectory altered by the large mass’s gravitational influence—can be slung hurtling towards the earth.

Such a body will be undetectable as it is coming directly towards us and when it closes enough to present a discernible image to our telescopes,it will be too late to do anything about it.

Like in war—the bullet with your name on it you never see coming.

Another sign that the end is near!

While 2011 SF108's orbit appears to bring it no closer to Earth than about 18 million miles (30 million kilometers), it still qualifies as a near-Earth object

Well, keeping in mind that "NEAR" is a relative term!
